Divine Spell Power and boni

[Scharlata]

Hi, divine spell power users and undead turners!

A quick question arose last session:

Do you gain the +2 ("synergy") bonus for 5 ranks of Knowledge (religion) to turn undead and the special +3 bonus from the divine feat Divine Spell Power (from the Complete Divine, p. 80) and get a net bonus of +3 if you try to buff your caster level, or is it only the +3 special bonus?

Thanx in advance and kind regards

(... plus any other modifiers you would normally apply to your turning check).

Yes, as Thanee said, you add all bonuses that apply to your turning check. A cleric with 16 Charisma, 5 ranks of Knowledge (religion), and access to the Glory domain would add +3 (Cha) +2 (synergy) +2 (Glory domain) +3 (special, from feat) = +10 to his d20 roll. On a roll of 3-5, he increases his caster level by 1; on a roll of 6-8, by 2; on a roll of 9-11, by 3; and on a roll of 12+, by 4.

Hi and thanx to both of you.

Kind regards

Don't forget to cast Consecrate if you are buffing... +3 or +6 with an altar.
