Have an arcanist who is a savant. Wants to move prty memebers around battlefield without moving herself. Also would like to increase range of said movement. What metamagic feats work on this?

if you specifically want a metamagic feat to do that, there isn't one.

You can pull some shenanigans with Toppling Spell, knocking them prone and then using a feat like Riptide Attack to drag them, which is goofy. If the caster had improved unarmed strike I would probably allow Ki Throw, but most allies won't appreciate being thrown around on their butts.

there may be spells that accomplish this better, but as far as metamagic goes thats your options

I need to move my own pary memebers into flanking for example. Willing targets.

Why not reach spell?

[Arlandor]

if you can use 3.5 spells and have the spell compendium it has 2 spells that would work. a 1st level spell called benign transposition-functions on 2 willing individuals. and a 2nd level spell baleful transposition-works on up to 2 willing or unwilling targets (allowed a will save if I remember correctly).

[Savage GM]

nope only PFRPG.

[Arlandor]

I can see an argument for the Reach Spell metamagic feat functioning in the way you want. but as for yourself not being moved when you cast dimension door, I am not aware of a way to stop that.

Savage, the best spell I have found to do that is : Bard's escape.

As a bard, i used it to great efficicency...so the trick here is to find a way to put it on your spell list (or scrolls with UMD??)

maybe a spell knowledge ring or something like that????

Force Commander Wizards get to literally play chess using party members and monsters as pawns. Is rebuilding an option?

I really like telekinetic charge from Ultimate Combat, 4th level on the Arcanist list. It's close range to close range for you, so a reach metamagic would work on it to make it medium. But, I have never needed anything longer with close as it is at least 40 feet of moving.

This isn't an arcanist thing, but Heavens Shamans and Spirit Guide Oracles (who make a temporary bond with the Heavens spirit) can do this at level 3, using "Heaven's Leap." It's a seriously cool hex. Only usable once per day per ally, though!
