    It’s pronounced Mer-meh-dark. Pretty sure it’s named after the Myrmidon, a group of wild warriors from Greek mythology. Kind of a portmanteu of Myrmidon and Arch-(wizard/mage/sorcerer etc).

  2. Hey all, listened to all Private Sanctuary podcasts in the last year and a half, but never got around to registering for the forums on the old site and really becoming a part of the Private Sanctuary community. I don’t have a Facebook account and didn’t know if the Private Sanctuary had an email account or not, so I posted here.

    I have a question/request for a topic to cover for a crunch episode for Private Sanctuary. I know you covered feats in an episode a while ago. I was wondering if you could do a episode dedicated to metamagic feats. I understand that it increases the effectiveness of spells (some more than others), but looking at the spell lists, I find it hard to justify using a higher spell slot for a low level spell with metamagic applied, when a higher level spell consistently appears to be more useful.

    If you could talk about the metamagic feats, which ones are more or less useful, and when it is most beneficial to apply them, that would be most appreciated.

    From a long time listener, first time commenter; Thanks,
    Dan S
