[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6142159, member: 57383"] So you don't want to allow a caster level bonus? I think that's important, since they're using it to imprison a Demon Prince. Hold on, are you talking about having the [I]Spell Magnitude[/I] option in the general-purpose Empowerment special ability to affect SLAs and area of effect? I thought we already allowed the spell-empowerment options to affect SLAs, and I'm not in favour of adding a general purpose area-of-effect boosting option, since it's [I]way[/I] too open to abuse. I'd rather allow an "increase area" empowerment option in the spell. e.g.: [B]Empowerment (Su):[/B] ... [I]Attack/Damage:[/I] ... to its next attack/damage roll (including spells, [COLOR=#ff0000]spell-like abilities[/COLOR], and natural weapons). [I]Spell Magnitude:[/I] The next spell (or [COLOR=#ff0000]spell-like ability[/COLOR]) the goatling casts ... [SIZE=3][B]Occultation[/B][/SIZE] [I][B] Abjuration (Goat Magic)[/B][/I] [B]Level:[/B] Goat 3 [B]Components:[/B] V, S, M [B]Casting Time:[/B] 1 minute [B]Area:[/B] A circle with a radius up to 5 ft. per two levels [B]Duration:[/B] 1 hour/level [B]Saving Throw:[/B] None [B]Spell Resistance:[/B] No The warded area becomes difficult to perceive by divination spells such as [I]clairaudience/clairvoyance[/I], [I]scry[/I], [I]locate object[/I] or detect spells. It also prevents location by such magic items as crystal balls. If a divination is attempted against a creature or item within the area warded by this spell, the caster of the divination must succeed on a caster level check against a DC of 11 + the caster level of the spellcaster who cast [I]occultation[/I] or the divination fails. The spellcaster who cast [I]occultation[/I] does not need to make caster level checks to use divination in the spell's area of effect. Any goatling who participates in a [I]summon coven[/I] spell to enhance an [I]occultation[/I] is considered a "caster", and the resulting spell will not ward against that goatling's divinations. [B][I]Empowerment[/I][/B] If a goatling uses Spell Magnitude empowerment with an [I]occultation[/I] spell, the empowerment's enhancement bonus to caster level applies to the spell's duration and area of effect.
