Question about energy substitution

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.frp.dnd (More info?)

Hi to all,
in energy substitution feat description is said that you can modify the
energy designator of a spell with a chosen one. This substitution has to be
done/declered when you prepare the spell or can also be applied "on the fly"
when you cast it?

Thanx
Juza

I'm not near my books but it is my understanding as a wizard, you have
to prepare the spell
with the feat included. I think as a sorcerer you can add "on the fly"
If I was near my books I'd be able to
confirm. THat is the way we currently run it in our game. When I get
home, I'll double check.

With the cost of a full round action for metamagic on a sorcerer of
course.

Yes, of course, for Sorcerer all metamagic (unless mentioned
specifically in the feat) can be "on the fly" but
as Justisaur said, requires a full round action.

Wizards would have to declare it when they woke up that morning,
Bards/Sorcerers could do it on the fly...but with the standard penalty for
metamagic use.
