Sorcerer (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

Arcane Bloodline

If using the Metamagic house rules from Apath, much of the Arcane bloodline's abilities become redundant and need to be updated.

Modified Bloodline Abilities

Metamagic Adept (Ex): At 3rd level, you become skilled at modifying spells with metamagic. When a you apply a metamagic feat, you reduce the metamagic feat’s spell level adjustment by 1. Thus, applying a Metamagic feat like Still Spell to a spell does not change its effective spell level at all, while applying Quicken Spell only increases the spell’s effective spell level by 3 instead of by 4. This reduction to the spell level adjustment for Metamagic feats does not stack with similar reductions from other abilities. You can use this ability once per day at 3rd level and one additional time per day for every four sorcerer levels you possess beyond 3rd, up to five times per day at 19th level. At 20th level, this ability is replaced by arcane apotheosis.

Arcane Apotheosis (Ex): At 20th level, your body surges with arcane power. You can add any metamagic feats that you know to your spells, always using the Metamagic Adept ability. Whenever you use magic items that require charges, you can instead expend spell slots to power the item. For every three levels of spell slots that you expend, you consume one less charge when using a magic item that expends charges.
