📋 About This Mod
Metamagic Extended
Adds more Metamagic options to Sorcerers. Certain Spells such as Empowered and Seeking can be used in combination with others. The implementation might differ slightly from 5e but should otherwise be fair and balanced in the main mod.
Requirements
This mod now requires Script Engine to make Transmuted Spell work properly.
Metamagics Implemented
Please note that combining Metamagics will select all applicable spells, due to the game UI/engine mechanics!
Empowered Spell
Costs 1 Sorcery Point.
Can be combined with other Metamagics!
Rolls spell damage dies with advantage. Significantly improves the overall damage output of your spells. Due to underlying engine mechanics verbatim implementation of the 5e rules is not possible. Useful for high volume damaging spells like Acid Arrow, Magic Missile, Fireball, etc.
Seeking Spell
Costs 2 Sorcery Points.
Can be combined with other Metamagics!
Adds Advantage to Spells that use Attack Rolls. Can help to land hit spells in critical situation so that the Spell Slot is not wasted. Useful for spells like Scorching Ray.
Transmuted Spell
Costs 1 Sorcery Point.
Changes the damage type of an elemental spell to the damage type selected. Can help leverage environmental conditions and defeat elemental resistance. Useful for spells like Fireball, Scorching Ray and various other elemental spells.
