Amps and Metamagics

[siegfriedliner]

I was wandering do you think there is a signifcant balance need to make amped spells incompatiable with Meta Magic feats ?

Do you think they added that as future proofing to avoid potentially broken combinations in the future. Or are there some "illegal" combo of amp and metamagic that would be broken ?

Probably likely that they wanted to avoid reach+amped imaginary weapon at minimum.
