Automatic Metamagic

The deity can apply a particular metamagic feat to spells it can cast or to spell-like abilities it knows with no spell slot adjustment.

Deities & Demigods

By Rich Redman, Skip Williams, James Wyatt

• Prerequisite: Spellcaster level 1st.
• Benefit: The deity chooses one metamagic feat. As a free action, the deity can apply the selected feat to the spells from any one spellcasting class the deity has or to its spell-like abilities. A spell altered by the use of this ability does not use up a higher-level slot.
• Notes: The deity must obey all the limitations normally associated with the metamagic feat. For example, a deity using Automatic Metamagic (quicken wizard spells) could cast only one quickened wizard spell each round. Any metamagic feat selected cannot have a level requirement of 21st or higher. Feats that depend on making the spell’s level higher, such as Heighten Spell, do not work with this ability.
• A deity can have this ability multiple times, choosing a metamagic feat and either a spellcasting class or spell- like abilities to which the ability will apply each time.
• Suggested Portfolio Elements: Knowledge, magic.
