Spell Perfection - What feats can it double?


Rules Questions


For reference:

Spell Perfection:
Spell Perfection
Prerequisites: Spellcraft 15 ranks, at least three metamagic feats.

Benefit: Pick one spell which you have the ability to cast. Whenever you cast that spell you may apply any one metamagic feat you have to that spell without affecting its level or casting time, as long as the total modified level of the spell does not use a spell slot above 9th level. In addition, if you have other feats which allow you to apply a set numerical bonus to any aspect of this spell (such as Spell Focus, Spell Penetration, Weapon Focus [ray], and so on), double the bonus granted by that feat when applied to this spell.

Spell Specialization:
Spell Specialization
Prerequisites: Int 13, Spell Focus.

Benefit: Select one spell of a school for which you have taken the Spell Focus feat. Treat your caster level as being two higher for all level-variable effects of the spell.

Every time you gain an even level in the spellcasting class you chose your spell from, you can choose a new spell to replace the spell selected with this feat, and that spell becomes your specialized spell.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different spell.

So does this work for feats like Spell Specialization (+2 to CL) and Varisian Tattoo, or for traits (like Gifted Adept)?

I'm leaning toward yes for Specialization, but no for traits.


correct it only doubles numerical effects of feats on spells. traits do not get doubled.

I say yes for Spell Specialization. Also yes to traits IF they come from the Additional Traits feat. :P

The traits themselves are not feats so they don't qualify. The feat just allows you to bypass the normal trait limit.
