The Persistent Spell metamagic feat causes the victim of a spell to roll their saving throw twice and take the lower result. I know it's not RAW, but what about spells that require a different kind of saving throw, like the CMD roll required by Black Tentacles or Telekinesis? Seems to me to be in the spirit of the feat, what think you?

The feat specifically lists only saving throws, so as written only effects saving throws.
Black tentacles also isn't the target making a roll, it is the tentacles spell making a grapple attempt, which is definitely outside the perview of the metamagic feat.
Only a saving throw is a saving throw. CMD rolls are not saving throws.
Having actually read the OP: Yes. Totally reasonable.
It says saving throw.
It does nothing more, nothing less.
So, Will + Fort + Refl only.
Otherwise, the house rules forum is just a few doors down.
[... though I'll add, as casters are already very powerful and as that is already a good feat, from a design and balance standpoint I would not advise it.]

It's a rules question.
Reasonable or not, this forum is pretty strict on the RAW once it hits the rules forum.
