Metamagic rods #202

Open tukkek opened 6 years ago

tukkek commented 6 years ago

Normal metamagic rods can be used with spells of 6th level or lower. Lesser rods can be used with spells of 3rd level or lower, while greater rods can be used with spells of 9th level or lower.

Unless stated otherwise, each rod has 3 daily charges.

Lesser quicken metamagic rod 17,500 gp Quicken metamagic rod 37,750 gp Greater quicken metamagic rod 85,000 gp

The wielder can cast up to three spells per day that are quickened as though using the Quicken Spell feat (clone spell object, set it to ap=0, cast, then bump 1 use for original spell - can only be used on spells that can still be cast today and with ap<=1).

Persistent metamagic rod. Cost 4,500 gp (lesser), 16,250 gp (normal), 36,500 gp (greater).

Requires targets to succeed on 2 saving throws, not just one.

Lesser echoing metamagic rod 7,000 gp
Echoing metamagic rod 27,000 gp
Greater echoing metamagic rod 60,750 gp

The spell daily use isn't exhausted, only the rod charge is.

Some other metamagic rods can be easily implemented on Javelin, however they'll require #203.

By looking at how CRs summoned and spell level interact, it might be easy enough to create Metamagic rods for summoning spells that apply Templates #207 to creatures summoned - since summons on Javelin are all single-creature, the math should be relatively straightforward, hopefully.

TODO from Vaporizer#scale():

Vaporizer and Bomb design assume that every single-target Spell can be "massified" by making it 4 levels (and 8 caster levels) higher. The same scaling could be used to generate "Scrolls of Mass Spell" and Pearl of Power-like Items that would massify a spell 4 levels lower That might be better approached with metamagic though.
