Both of these spells have a listed duration of 3 rounds. Both of these spells then specifically mention in their descriptions that the effects of that spell continues for 3 rounds. Would the Metamagic Feat: Extend Spell Extend Spell work on these two spells as described?
Other than the fact that it is grossly unfair it should work.
Extend Spell
Benefit: An extended spell lasts twice as long as normal. A spell with a duration of concentration, instantaneous, or permanent is not affected by this feat.
No mention of 'fixed' duration in the exception clause.
The most you can have is 5 rays would it really be worth extending the Contagious Flame? Suffocation looks like a lot of fun to extend.
5 Rays x3 rounds or 5 rays x6 rounds? That's double the damage (theoretically, at least though its possible there could be misses that would reduce that number).
I'm really just thinking about taking Suffocation as a Spell Perfection option for an Elemental Air Wizard - if it works as an extended spell it becomes an incredibly potent weapon though not a catch-all obviously. There are still undead, elementals, golems and the like.
I'm thinking a Quickened Persistent Extended Suffocation followed by a second Persistent Extended Suffocation spell - using two 7th level spell slots - to open combat at 15th level. Its just a shame that it doesn't count as an 'Air' spell which seems odd to me... and Mass Suffocate is as wicked a spell as ever devised. Shame you can't slap 'Persistent' on that to speed up the dieing.
Very Darth Vader-ey. I live for the day when I can tell some poor villian or NPC 'I find your lack of faith disturbing...'
also Heat/Chill metal, different duration same problem
I think the spell text would trump the extend, but an arcane sorc. would get a +1 DC.
I can't see how DC would ever be effected. You should just double each phase .. so 2 rounds of warm, 2 of hot, 6 or searing, 2 of hot, and 2 of warm ... for a total of 14 instead of 7 rounds.
