Ahoy!

Would a G.o.I. block out empowered spells like ice storm, flame arrow etc. in NWN?

Thanks in advance!

According to the talk page on NWN Wiki, yes, it does block metamagic spells.

As with spell mantles, level 4 or lower spells that do not check spell resistance (such as Evard's black tentacles) are not blocked by a globe of invulnerability.

beyond this I think some testing is in order but there are better protective spells anyway.

Yes. MEtamagic does not affect the innate level of the spell. A Maximized Magic Missile is still a level 1 spell for Mantle and Visage purposes.

Not innate level. NWN is stupid. Its actually counting from the level you get the spell.

Mage: 4
Druid: 5
Magic/Water domain: 5
Bard: 6

So globe would block an icestorm from a mage but not from a cleric, druid or bard. Same deal as balagarn's iron horn from a mage or bard vs ghostly visage.
