Rules Questions


Maximize Spell [Metamagic]

Benefit

All variable, numeric effects of a spell modified by this feat are maximized. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells without random variables. A maximized spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

An empowered, maximized spell gains the separate benefits of each feat: the maximum result plus one-half the normally rolled result.

gravity bow...

Gravity bow significantly increases the weight and density of arrows or bolts fired from your bow or crossbow the instant before they strike their target and then return them to normal a few moments later. Any arrow fired from a bow or crossbow you are carrying when the spell is cast deals damage as if one size larger than it actually is. For instance, an arrow fired from a Medium longbow normally deals 1d8 points of damage, but it would instead deal 2d6 points of damage if fired from a gravity bow. Only you can benefit from this spell. If anyone else uses your bow to make an attack the arrows deal damage as normal for their size.

so my 1d8 bow now fires a 2d6 arrow maximized too a 12....not counting in any other factors...


No. The spell effectively just increases the size category of the arrows, it is a spell without "random variables".

Edit: For the same reasons as were stated in the other thread you commented on about empowered and gravity bow.

I love how, when I have an adjudication question, there is frequently a thread specifically for that! One of my players just asked me for a ruling on this tonight.
Thanks, guys!
