D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] countering Ray of Enfeeblement

[James McMurray]

The example in the feat says cure spells heal 1.5 of normal.

Not sure what you're reading. The example in my 3.5 PHB uses a Magic Missile, and says each missile rolls 1d4+1 and multiplies the result by 1.5. In other words, Pax is right.

From the 3.5 PHB

An empowered spell deals half again as much damage as normal, cures half again as many hit points, affect half again as many targets, and so forth, as appropriate.

 

[melkoriii]

This also means that you can empower a heal spell cureing half again as many hit points.

 

[James McMurray]

You can't empower a Heal because there is nothing variable in its effects (i.e. no die rolling involved)

Ops that is true.

Got carried away.

I disagree. Caster level is a variable.

 

[James McMurray]

Feel free to run that interpretation by your DM. And good luck!

 

[Caliban]

I disagree. Caster level is a variable.

Yeah, but it it's not random. You don't roll caster level, it's set at the time you prepare the spell.

If you don't roll dice for it, it can't be empowered.

 

[DonAdam]

If you don't roll dice for it, it can't be empowered.

It seems you are correct.

*ahem* Nothing to see here. Move along.

 

[Saeviomagy]

I dare say that if your strength was reduced such that you were carrying more than your lift off ground limit, then you would be rendered unable to move until you divested yourself of it.

As for being unable to cast... unlikely unless the encumbrance is from armour.
