Feedback Wanted on a Custom Legendary Metamagic Rod for WotR


Wrath of the Righteous


I'm designing legendary items for a Wrath of the Righteous game I'm currently running.

I wanted them to function similarly to

Spoiler:
Radiance, in that they become legendary/bond with a mythic creature with the destruction of the wardstone fragment and level up at certain points during the game.

This is my attempt at a metamagic rod for a Gnome Impossible Bloodline Sorcerer. The metamamagic abilities are ones he expressed interest in.
I don't have a lot of experience with full casters, so I'd like some feedback on the power level of this rod if people would indulge me.

Thanks all!

UBERSPELL, THE ROD OF ARCANE LORDSHIP:

AURA strong (no school)
Given as a gift in a dream by a mysterious, beautiful woman to the Gnome Sorcerer Melnik Uberberry, this arm-length rose-colored rod acts in many ways as a lesser metamagic rod, able to modify up to three spells a day of 3rd level or less with the metamagic feat Extend Spell. Uberspell becomes a legendary item, and bonds with the creature that wielded it during their moment of ascension.

A mythic caster can expand a mythic surge to use Uberspell an additional time per day.
● Upon reaching 1st Mythic Tier/Rank, the Rod can modify spells of up to 3rd level with extend or empower.
● Upon reaching 3rd Mythic Tier/Rank, the Rod can modify spells of up to 4th level with extend or empower, and spells up to 2nd level with extend and empower.
● Upon reaching 5th Mythic Tier/Rank, the Rod can modify spells of up to 6th level with extend, empower or quicken, and spells up to 4th level with extend and empower.
● Upon reaching 7th Mythic Tier/Rank, the Rod can modify spells of up to 7th level with extend, empower or quicken, spells up to 5th level with extend and empower.
● Upon reaching 9th Mythic Tier/Rank, the rod can modify any spell the caster knows with any two of the rod’s abilities at once (empower, extend, and quicken).

I'd replace Quicken with something else. You're going to be in a lot of trouble with the power-level if you're going full-on Mythic, especially if you're inexperienced with full casters.

Perhaps Maximize or Widen instead?


Thanks Kalindlara. I was thinking I may just remove quicken or a third ability altogether, and limit the mythic surge activation to one additional time per day. Does losing a third ability nerf it too much?

It sounds like your group is going to play with the full Mythic system... I wouldn't worry about nerfing anything too much.

That said, the current version looks pretty good. ^_^
