Metamagic Feat

[MaxenThor]

I have a question. The Metamagic Feats: Empower Spell and Maximize Spell do they Stack or is it an "either or "? I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question. All response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Definitely stack, this combined with various force enhances are how arti gets blade barrier crits near 1000

With no other source than my own experience. I agree, they do stack.

They stack, but adding, not multiplying. Let's say your spell deal 100 damage. Empowered it deals 150 damage. Maximized deal 200. Empowered and maximized deal 250.

Because of artie's low SP and lack of efficient metamagic enhancements, many people get only maximize. It's your call if you also want empower.

Something is a bit off there, if its 250 max emp/maximized then add in enhances no way we'd be seeing 1k crits. Having seen them personally in game i don't understand your math.

I think he was just using 100 damage as an example so you could see the effects of the feats. Rather than specifying a specific maximum capability.

Especially since enhancements, efficacy bonuses from items and things like that were not included in his calculation. Just the feats asked about in the OP.
