Your cold spells are so cold that they can damage creatures normally resistant or immune to cold.

Benefit: You can only apply this metamagic feat to spells with the cold descriptor. Piercing cold spells are so horribly cold that they are capable of damaging creatures normally unharmed by or resistant to cold. Piercing cold spells completely ignore any resistance to cold a creature possesses, bypassing this resistance and dealing damage to the target as if it did not possess any resistance to cold at all. They are still entitled to whatever other defenses the attack allows (such as saving throws and spell resistance). Creatures normally immune to cold can be damaged by piercing cold spells as well. Piercing cold spells deal half damage to these creatures (or one-quarter on a successful saving throw).  

For example, Mialee casts a piercing cold cone of cold at a night hag, a creature normally immune to cold. She makes her level check to penetrate the night hag’s spell resistance, but the night hag makes her Reflex save against the spell. Mialee rolls the dice, and her cone of cold deals 42 points of cold damage; since the night hag made her save, the damage is halved to 21 points. This damage is then halved again (since the night hag is normally immune to cold), and 10 points of cold damage are actually dealt to the night hag, who is both shocked and enraged at this unexpected turn of events.

Creatures with the cold subtype can tell that a piercing cold spell is colder than normal, but they remain undamaged by the attack.

Creatures with the fire subtype who are damaged by a piercing cold spell take double normal damage instead of the usual +50%.

A piercing cold spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

DEEPER COLD [METAMAGIC]

Your cold spells are so cold that they can damage any creatures.

Prerequisite: Piercing Cold, Heighten spell   

Benefit: You can only apply this metamagic feat to spells with the cold descriptor. Deeper cold spells are so horribly cold that they are capable of damaging creatures normally unharmed by or resistant to cold. Deeper cold spells completely ignore any resistance to cold a creature possesses. Creatures normally immune to cold can be damaged by deeper cold spells as well, ignoring this immunity and dealing damage to the target as if it did not possess any resistance to cold at all. They too are still entitled to whatever other defenses the attack allows (such as saving throws and spell resistance).

Creatures with the cold subtype can be damaged by deeper cold spells tell that a deeper cold spell is colder than normal, but they remain undamaged by the attack. Deeper cold spells deal half damage to these creatures (or one-quarter on a successful saving throw).  

For example, Mialee casts a deeper cold cone of cold at an old white dragon, a creature normally immune to cold. She makes her level check to penetrate the old white dragon’s spell resistance, but the old white dragon makes her Reflex save against the spell. Mialee rolls the dice, and her cone of cold deals 42 points of cold damage; since the old white dragon made her save, the damage is halved to 21 points. This damage is then halved again (since the old white dragon is normally immune to cold), and 10 points of cold damage are actually dealt to the old white dragon, who is both shocked and enraged at this unexpected turn of events.

Creatures with the fire subtype who are damaged by a deeper cold spell take double normal damage instead of the usual +50%, creatures with the fire subtype suffer a –5 on any saving throw, and finally creatures with the fire subtype and spell resistance.

Even creatures with the cold subtype have no protection from this spell.  Any creature affected by this spell is denied any saving throw normally allowed to avoid cold damage, although if the spell has any other affect saving throws to avoid the other affects still apply.  

For example, Mialee casts an Absolute zero cone of cold at an old white dragon, a creature normally immune to cold. She does not have to make a level check to penetrate the old white dragon’s spell resistance, nor is the old white dragon allowed to make Reflex save against the spell. Mialee rolls the dice, and her cone of cold deals 42 points of cold damage the white dragon takes the damage, and is very surprised.

Creatures with the fire subtype who are damaged by an Absolute zero spell take double normal damage instead of the usual +50%.

They are still entitled to whatever other defenses the attack allows (such as saving throws and spell resistance).

Creatures normally immune to fire can be damaged by searing spells as well. Searing spells deal half damage to these creatures (or one-quarter on a successful saving throw).

For example, Mialee casts a searing spell fireball at a bone devil, a creature normally immune to fire. She makes her level check to penetrate the bone devil’s spell resistance, but the bone devil makes her Reflex save against the spell. Mialee rolls the dice, and her fireball deals 35 points of fire damage; since the bone devil made her save, the damage is halved to 17 points. This damage is then halved again (since the bone devil is normally immune to fire), and 8 points of fire damage are actually dealt to the bone devil, who is both shocked and enraged at this unexpected turn of events. Creatures with the fire subtype can tell that a searing spell is hotter than normal, but they remain undamaged by the attack.

Creatures with the cold subtype who are damaged by a searing spell take double normal damage instead of the usual +50%.

A searing spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

TOUCHED BY HELLFIRE [METAMAGIC]

Your fire spells are so fire that they can damage any creatures.

Prerequisite: Heighten spell, Searing spell

Benefit: You can only apply this metamagic feat to spells with the fire descriptor. Touched by hellfire spells are so horribly fire that they are capable of damaging creatures normally unharmed by or resistant to fire.

She makes her level check to penetrate the old white dragon’s spell resistance, but the old white dragon makes her Reflex save against the spell. Mialee rolls the dice, and her fireball deals 35 points of fire damage; since the old white dragon made her save, the damage is halved to 17 points. This damage is then halved again (since the old white dragon is normally immune to fire), and 8 points of fire damage are actually dealt to the old white dragon, who is both shocked and enraged at this unexpected turn of events.

Creatures with the cold subtype who are damaged by a touched by hellfire spell take double normal damage instead of the usual +50%, creatures with the fire subtype suffer a –5 on any saving throw, and finally creatures with the fire subtype and spell resistance.

A Touched by hellfire spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

INFUSED WITH HELLFIRE [METAMAGIC]

Your fire spells are so fire that they can damage any creatures.

Prerequisite: Heighten spell, Searing spell, Touch by hellfire

Benefit: You can only apply this metamagic feat to spells with the fire descriptor. Infused with hellfire spells are as fire can be and as such are capable of damaging any creature. Infused with hellfire spells completely ignore any immunity or resistance to fire a creature possesses. Even creatures with the fire subtype have no protection from this spell.  Any creature affected by this spell is denied any saving throw normally allowed to avoid fire damage, although if the spell has any other affect saving throws to avoid the other affects still apply.  

For example, Mialee casts an Infused with hellfire fireball at an old red dragon, a creature normally immune to fire. She does not have to make a level check to penetrate the old red dragon’s spell resistance, nor is the old red dragon allowed to make Reflex save against the spell. Mialee rolls the dice, and her fireball deals 35 points of fire damage the red dragon takes the damage, and is very surprised.

Creatures with the cold subtype who are damaged by an infused with hellfire spell take double normal damage instead of the usual +50%.

An infused with hellfire spell uses up a spell slot five levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

 

Tripled Spell [Metamagic]

Prerequisites: Twined Spell, Quicken spell, Any other Metamagic feat

Benefit: This functions exactly like Twined spell except it grants a third duplication of the spell and takes up a spell slot Six levels higher than the actual spell.

Special: You can not cast a quickened spell in the same round you cast a tripled spell.
