Metaphrase (3.5e Feat Type)

[Metaphrase] Feat Type
Summary::Metaphrase feats allow a truespeaker to alter their phrases in slight ways.

As a truespeaker’s knowledge of the language of creation grows, they can learn to speak phrases in a slightly different way. Speaking a phrase in such a way is harder than normal but, thanks to metaphrase feats, at least it is possible. Phrases modified by a metaphrase feat have a higher DC to speak and cause more short-term drain.

This does not change the actual level of the phrase, so the DC for saving throws against it does not go up. You choose to apply a metaphrase feat when speaking the phrase you wish to modify. Doing so does not take any longer then speaking the phrase normally.
