[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 122339, member: 141"] Do you know of a link where Empower Spell is described in more detail? For instance, what would a shocking grasp spell do if empowered? (Base damage is 1d8 +1/level) Hypnotism would be affected (2d4 hit dice) but not Animate dead (1 hd of undead created per level)? How does Empower affect a Heal spell? Too bad the search functions are down on the forums. I'm sure this question has already been asked and answered. My proposal is to double the hit point effects of a spell; high magic fireballs would do double damage, high magic cure spells would heal double the normal amount, and high magic summonings get the usual number of creatures, but with twice the normal amount of hit points. So it wouldn't work quite the same as Empower Spell. And I don't know quite how it would work in conjunction with a Heal Spell either. Well, actually I've house-ruled Heal so that it cures 10 hp/caster level, but doesn't cure the last 1d4 hit points. Harm does 10 hp/caster level, but doesn't take away the last 1d4 hit points. If house-ruled thusly, a high magic Heal would cure 15 hp/level (except for the last 1d4), and a high magic Harm would inflict 15 hp/level (but leave the victim at 1d4 hp). (this should bring more traffic into this forum; everyone loves a discussion of Harm ;) ) [/QUOTE]
