A “maximized” Chill Touch is better at higher levels sometimes though, as it is for multiple attacks. Still though, I do a maximized Shocking Grasp along with my monk’s punch, and it’s a hell of a shock and awe attack.
What the hell are you talking about?
Chris is just referring to his own sorcerer-monk character and how, mechanically-speaking, there is a better use of the Maximize metamagic for higher level uses of Chill Touch vs using Quicken metamagic for Shocking Grasp (as a one-time use). He further notes, though, that he has/does also use Maximize for SG, too, and with good effect.
There’s no such metamagic as Maximize, hence why I was asking what the fuck this guy is talking about. Nobody gives a shit about this dude’s homebrew.
