Selective metamagic effect.


Rules Questions


We seldom use metamagic in our group, so this came up in our last game.

Sorcerer uses a selective ice storm. Player claims that selected PC's are not affected by the ice patches AND are not affected by the visibility problems associated within the area : i.e. tha monster is blinded but the PC's are not.

Any thoughts?

The Exchange

Selective spell only works on spells with a duration of instantaneous. Ice storm is rnd/lvl.

The Exchange

Selective spell. From the PFSRD:

Your allies need not fear friendly fire.

Prerequisite: Spellcraft 10 ranks.

Benefit: When casting a selective spell with an area effect and a duration of instantaneous, you can choose a number of targets in the area equal to the ability score modifier used to determine bonus spells of the same type (Charisma for bards, oracles, paladins, sorcerers, and summoners; Intelligence for witches and wizards; Wisdom for clerics, druids, inquisitors, and rangers). These targets are excluded from the effects of your spell.

Level Increase: +1 (a selective spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.)

Spells that do not have an area of effect or a duration of instantaneous do not benefit from this feat.
