Spell Power

[Crothian]

Had this idea when reading Gamecat's thread.

Spell Power (Needs better name)
Benefit: When casting a spell that requires a saving throw against an opponent with Spell Resistance, the Caster can reduce the Spell DC up to half his caster level. That number is then added to his spell penetration check.

Perhaps a feat that allows this to be done in reverse, or maybe allow this feat to do both. Thoughts?

Here is the take of the Game Cat.

Spell Refraction
Prerequisites: Spell Penetration.
Benefit: When casting a spell that requires a saving throw against an opponent with Spell Resistance, the Caster can reduce the Spell DC up to half his caster level. That number is then added to his spell penetration check.

Sounds good. The reverse, though, is absolutely insane. Not all creatures possess spell resistance, so that is giving free DC candy.

It only applies to creatures with SR. No SR, you can't use the feat.

 

[gamecat]

Thats good to go. As to spell penetration as a prereq?

 

[Crothian]

I don't know if these needs any prerequisties.

 

[Nightfall]

It probably wouldn't hurt to try use that though Croth.

Well Here's my contribution for Spell Refraction

Spell Reflection
Requirements: SR 15+, Knowledge Arcana 10 ranks, Spellcraft 10 ranks
Benefits: All rays, lines and cones are now deflected back at the original caster. SR still applies but you must successfull make the save otherwise this benefit is lost.

 

[gamecat]

I guess you are right. The feat's scope is limited in of itself.
