Mark: Would it be permissable for Yellow to replace the automatic bonus progression for weapons with one for metamagic rods of roughly equal cost? For instance, instead of a +1 weapon (2,000gp value) I would get a lesser metamagic rod of a 1-level adjustment metamagic effect (3,000gp value). While the rods will generally be worth 10-30% more than the weapons, they can only be used three times a day, as opposed to the use of a weapon being limited only by one's number of attacks. Also, a magic weapon will generally be equally as useless to Yellow as a standard one.
