D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Epic Spell Focus must still be +6 DC

[Kaelynna]

Hello,

The other day I asked a question on these boards about Epic Spell Focus and what the DC is in 3.5. After looking at the Official D&D accessory download for the 3.0 supplement books (i.e., Epic Level Handbook), it appears that there are no changes to Epic Weapon Focus or Epic Spell Focus.

So does this mean that Spell Focus is +1 DC
Greater Spell Focus is +2 DC total
and Epic Spell Focus is +6 DC total?

This appears to be the case.

Looks that way to me. I'd say at Epic levels you need that +6- lots of Epic monsters have insanely high SR, and there's really not much of a way around it (except homebrewed spells/items/etc.)

Epic Spell Focus doesn't give a bonus against SR, though.

I'd say it 'feels' a bit more Epic now.

Oh, another Kae. Welcome aboard.

Either they forgot about it or really want that boost. I think you can rule it either way and it's fine.

Doesn't one of the abilities of the new archmage PrC allow an effective boost in levels for SR purposes?

Spell Power in the new edition adds to caster level for purposes of determining range, damage, duration, etc.. as well as vs. SR. The Heirophant had spell power as well in 3e, but I'm not sure about them in 3.5e

Hope that helps

Spell Power works the same for all classes now, it seems. (Though the Red Wizard's is restricted to his specialized school, I suppose.) And yeah, Hierophants have it, too. And still no spell progression, IIRC.
