How many metamagic feats can you apply at once? One? More?
Thank you :)
You can add multiple metamagic feats to one spell. For example, you could cast a quickened, maximized, toppling magic missile spell, but it would take up a 9th level spell slot (+4 for quickened, +3 for maximized, +1 for toppling).
As many as you like, provided that the resulting level is within the capabiltiies of the spellcaster to actually cast.

Multiple Metamagic Feats on a Spell: A spellcaster can apply multiple metamagic feats to a single spell. Changes to its level are cumulative. You can't apply the same metamagic feat more than once to a single spell.
Well if you are going level 9 you might as well make a burning, reaching, silent, still, empowered, maximized acid splash. That is some impressive 4 damage and they burn for 0 times 2 more damage the next round. You could even be hundreds of feet away just by looking at them. Wham 4 acid damage b*****, feel the burn!
If you wanted to show mercy you could apply merciful for free.
That's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't errata'd somewhere with only allowing one metamagic somewhere. Thank you for the quick replies.

Don't tell my party's gnome blaster about that combo. He's all about quickened magic missiles.
magical liniage !! :-) and spell mastery alows for an even more rediculis amount of metamagic feats !!
You can only use one metamagic rod on a spell. That may be what you're thinking of.
And how do multiple metamagic feats effect casting time? Is it just the one step up, or one step per feat?

Just the one 'step', from standard to full-round.

Only for spontaneous casters. If a preparation caster memorizes his spell that way (with all those metamagic feats) it is still the normal casting time of the spell. Unless Quicken is one of the metamagic feats, which then makes it a free action.

And Spontaneous Metafoucs will remove it for spontaneous casters with the selected spell.
Yes, or Metamagic Adept (Arcane Apotheosis) through the Arcane Bloodline for the Sorcerer.

Not a free action. It makes it a swift action. That is a pretty important distinction :)
Ah yes, good point. It’s been awhile since I’ve used Quicken. :)
