Thoughts on Learning Taught Metamagic'd / Energy Sub'd Spells-


3.5/d20/OGL


I created an NPC Cleric/Sorcerer on the fly whose Domains and Focus/'Specialisation' was on Glass, as a sub-set of Earth and Fire Elementalist.

After the session, a player approached me and wanted to know how they could do the same. I gave a general answer, but on the drive back home, I began to think it over more carefully.

I have a few Elementalist source products and PrCs, etc., but I was thinking that I may be over-complicating the whole issue.
Wouldn't learning Energy Substitution: 'Glass' be just as feasible a fix as going through all the trouble of calling someone a Glass Witch?

Hang on, follow my train of thought.
Instead of being taught Mage Armour (Force), learning it from someone who had already tweaked it as Mage Armour [Elemental] (Glass), with all the commensurate reductions in its capabilities/immunities, etc.

Likewise, 'Magic Shard' for Magic Missile, 'Shatter Sphere' for Fireball, etc.

This is the direction I am leaning toward, but I'm covetous of your input on this topic.

Thanks! :D
