Would like to see an epic feat that turns singular buff spells into mass effect spells.

.. mass blurr. mass jump.. mass etc....

Hmmmmm

What about Mass Metamagic? Turn single target buffs into a mass buff for +25 spell point cost. Only certain spells, though. I'd think mass stoneskin, ablative armor, and a few others would be cheating.

I would think something more like 4x the SP cost of the singular spell. makes it efficient for full groups and raids, and less so for smaller groups.
I would apply it to any buff that is castable on others.

Basically it just saves time singular casting and asking who wants/who doesn't..
at higher levels we should have options to be more efficient..

This.

And lasting inspiration should allow for all bard song benefits to played as one song.

[Enoach]

I really think the illusion spells list needs expanding. I would include Mirror Image type spells to the list.

Time Stop I'm not so sure about, for me it falls into the Wish and Fly type spells where it has more potential of breaking the game then enhancing it.

But I agree that the more spell choices all around the better because there will be less homogenized casters (all taking the same spells) and this makes the advantage of being able to switch even more a consideration.

[majikpaul]

I'll never understand how DDO created 2 races, and now new gear, that focus on illusion spells when there are only 7 illusion spells available... and 3 of those are mostly useless
