[QUOTE="udalrich, post: 3676653, member: 53796"] It's a cost. Probably less than in 1E, but it's still a cost. Dispel Magic can target a person, which causes a dispel check against all the spells on him (including the permanent spells). It's 1d20 + dispel caster level vs 11 + perm caster level [b]when permanency was cast[/b]. That bold bit is important. If you cast Permanency and it's still up 3 levels later, an enemy caster of the same level has a 65% chance of knocking it down. A BBEG four levels above the party has an 85% chance to dispel it. It's not so much "Permanency" as "For a Level or Two (I Hope) But Maybe Just for the Next Combat". That's clearly not how the spell works in the rules. You can house rule it as such, but then it's a much better spell. The only time I've seen the spell actually used was in PvP Arena games where it was automatically restored after the fight. [/QUOTE]
