Taking Quicken Spell at level 1 for Reactive Healing pre-req

[downlobot]

Hello,

Can you take Quicken Spell at level 1 even though you won't be able to use it for another however many levels? Or do you need to have the appropriate spell slots available before you can take a metamagic feat?

The point would be to give a squishy human cleric Reactive Healing (from the ACG) at level 1. If there would be a different answer for PFS, I'd appreciate that answer as well.

Thanks!

To take a feat you need to fulfill the prerequisites unless you have an ability that specifically allows you to ignore them.
Quicken spell has no requirement, so you could indeed take it at level 1, even if you aren't a spellcaster. It would be an unusable feat for quite a while but yes.
As to PFS? I'm pretty sure that you can take the feat, but I would check with others before you do.

You meet the requirements? Then yes.
