[QUOTE="demiurge1138, post: 5026681, member: 7451"] If memory serves me right, Spell Focus doesn't help, but Ability Focus does. Unfortunately, they don't have any SLAs that could be Empowered, and the various feats that give bonuses with fear effects are non-core. I kind of want to "cheat" a bit with these, either by giving them an explanation in Feats about how Spell Focus applies to their spells or to give them one of the SRD's spelltouched feats. Either False Pretenses or Residual Rebound would be fun. False Pretenses [Spelltouched] Those who try to charm you get an unpleasant surprise. Prerequisite: Exposure to charm or dominate spell. Benefit: When you succeed on a save against a charm or compulsion effect, the character trying to charm or compel you believes that you failed your save. You can play along voluntarily if you wish to. if the charm or compulsion involves telepathic commands, you continue to receive them, although you aren't obligated to follow them. Residual Rebound [Spelltouched] Sometimes spells cast at you rebound on the caster instead. Prerequisite: Exposure to spell resistance or spell turning spell. Benefit: If you roll a natural 20 on a save against a targeted spell, it turns back on the caster as if affected by a spell turning spell. Unlike spell turning, however, the Residual Rebound feat potentially functions against touch range spells as well. Residual Rebound only works on targeted spells that allow a saving throw, so a fireball won't rebound, nor will a power word stun. [/QUOTE]
