Mass Divine Power on my army of skeletons! Yay!

BTW, there is at least one precedent for turning a personal spell (and a very powerful one for non-spellcasters) into a touch spell, that is Antimagic Field -> Antimagic Aura (7th level spell, thus 1 level higher for this change).

One can't help wondering why they have never bitten the bullet and properly specified a "mass spell" metamagic. They muddied the waters with their level definitions in 3.5e but in 3.0e it was pretty consistently +3 levels to make a single target spell into a 1 target/level within no two targets more than 30ft apart (or whatever) spell.

That would knock on the head at a stroke all these silly new pointless spells that WotC are making up and mis-levelling

That's the splat book effect.. as more and more splat books come out, you will see more and more spells more powerful than their predecessors

Remember in core rules, Mass bull's strength etc are 6th level spells, and resist energy is a far better spell than the stat buffs imo.

Except that the Mass ability buffs are sucky level 6 spells. They're barely better than Prayer even when no stat boosting items are in effect. But since we're talking about 11th level characters, some other enhancement bonus will likely be in place - or the stat boost is boosting a comparatively unimportant stat. Using those spells to gauge power level is like comparing potential 7th level spells to Drawji's Instant Summons.

Antimagic Aura also removes the area effect and adds a save.
