![]() Sure, you could sling Magic Missiles all day long, but you've spent all that to spam one not especially powerful spell. Now you are in the hole two traits and a feat just to get this setup. In both cases, you are limited to a specific spell, and both are contingent on using a metamagic feat, which you have to spend feats on. Both Magical Lineage and Wayang Spellhunter have the stamp of approval (hover over the round icon to the left of the trait name and it reads "PFS Legal").įurthermore, I'm reasonably confident this combination isn't the threat it seems. As mentioned, the Archives of Nethys are Paizo's official SRD, and on the site it notes which traits are PFS approved. There is an entry in the FAQ about Magical Lineage, and it says the trait cannot reduce a spell below its original level. ![]() In a few different places I found people saying it was permitted for them in PFS, or that Paizo had an official ruling stating it was allowed, but no link or anything so I can't be sure. Archives of Nethys are now the official Paizo srd, and is permitted to use Golarion-specific names and information. The d20pfsrd had it listed as Metamagic Master because they were asked to remove anything specific to the Golarion setting from the site, so they renamed Wayang Spellhunter to Metamagic Master. Its called Wayang Spellhunter in Pathfinder material. I'd love to see the creative writing exercise of an Elf Magus explaining how they qualify for this trait.Its important to note that the trait "Metamagic Master" does not exist anywhere in Pathfinder material. Not to mention that the name of the trait is literally Wayang Spellhunter. Among a race of (in the literal sense) xenophobic shadowdwellers with a culture that revolves around ritual scarification and passing into non-being. Taking the trait means that you grew up on an isolated island part of an ever-fluctuating archipelago located in an eastern-themed continent specific to Golarion. Only through their nimbleness and secretiveness have wayangs survived. To them, the hunting jaguar, the sharp-taloned hawk, and the greedy human are relentless co-conspirators, seeking to exploit, torment, and kill the wayangs. Relations: Most wayang tribes do their best to avoid the notice of others. Their culture seems morbid to most outsiders, one that idealizes a shadowy state of non-being while demonizing the fierce clarity of light. Society: Forming small, tightly knit tribes, wayangs live a communal existence, sharing what they have with their friends and families. ![]() Shy and elusive, they live in small, interdependent tribes. They readily express their beliefs through ritual scarification and skin bleaching, marking their bodies with raised white dots in ornate spirals and geometric patterns. Deeply spiritual, they follow a philosophy known as “The Dissolution,” which teaches that in passing they may again merge into the shadow. They are extremely gaunt, with pixielike stature and skin the color of deep shadow. The wayangs are a race of small supernatural humanoids who trace their ancestry to the Plane of Shadows. You have support from the Devs on this one, and it's your game. As the GM it's totally ok for you to disallow them stacking. Regardless we have a Rules As Written rule here (they stack) and we have developer input saying they shouldn't stack (though by RAW they do). A Maximized-Empowered Fireball would allow both traits to be used on the spell (with the math looking like: 3 + (3-1) + (2-1) = 6th level spell) but you couldn't use them both on a spell with only 1 metamagic feat. There is a possible middle-ground here, where the two traits can't affect the same metamagic feats, but they could both affect the same spell. That's the definition of "Stack" vs "Overlap" in this context. If they "Overlap" then Magical Lineage brings it from 5 down to 4, and Wayang Spellhunter brings it from 5 down to 4, so it would end up as a level 4 spell. If they stack it's 3+5-1-1=3, so it ends up up as a level 3 spell.
