I'd have to say no. While metamagic rods don't actually adjust the level of a spell, metamagic feats certainly do. If you apply the Empower Spell feat to a fireball, it's now a 5th-level spell, thus a lesser metamagic rod is unable to further modify the spell.

Even considering the text quoted by Wizard, I can't agree just yet. Granted, while an empowered fireball is not a true 5th-level spell, it requires a 5th-level spell slot to cast it from. If you're a sorcerer, you can now cast one less 5th-level spell per for the day. This is in no way, shape, or form similar to a 3rd-level fireball cast from a 5th-level slot. One is a 3rd-level spell that can be cast from any spell slot of 3rd-level or higher. The other is a 3rd-level spell that can only be cast from a 5th-level or higher slot.
An empowered fireball is treated as a 5th-level spell for all intents and purposes regarding spell slots and spells you can cast per day. I don't see why a metamagic rod wouldn't treat an empowered fireball in a like manner.
Maybe this is just my estimation of the intent though.

In regards to the price of the item and what you think it's worth, that would be you, the DM. As a general rule, this is how I handle discounts like the one you mention; The discount impacts the market price of the item, i.e. what the PC can get for it if he sells it and what he pays for it when he buys it, but it does not impact the value of the item against his character wealth.

Yes, but you'd need DM approval to do so, as it would be a custom item.

In total, the armor would cost 26,165 gp. It would cost you 20,000 gp to upgrade it.

You're asking if nondetection works against nondetection?

I'd say as long as it's in full view, you've got nothing to worry about.

Gotcha. Here's an old reply from the Sage about that...
In addition, there have been questions raised concerning how Mind Blank functions in conjunction with other spells. For example, lets say a wizard casts Mind Blank and Improved Invisibility on himself. Does the invisibility now count as part of the caster, or is it considered a separate entity in regards to spells like See Invisibility?
Mind blank is not effective against see invisibility (non detection is). Mind blank protects against devices and spells that detect, influence, or read emotions or thoughts. And against scrying, which is magical information gathering conducted remotely. See invisibility is not scrying.
In other words, is the Mind Blanked/Invisible wizard protected from See Invisibility? Detect Magic? True Seeing?
No in all three cases.
...incedentally, when I asked customer service a similar question, they initially rule the opposite, then changed their minds and said such a ruling could go either way.

Nope. Casting a spell is a standard action. Making an attack is a standard action. If you're a character who's base attack bonus is, for example, +6/+1, you can make one attack as a standard action or two attacks as a full-attack action.

For multiple abilities? No, that would be "lower item cost" that gets the modifier (x1.5).
