I think I underestimated the bonus the ridiculous cheese of the Septuply(7)-Empowered spells an Incantrix can provide grant you.

Nope.

An average Bull's Strength grants 1d4+1.

Correct.

An Empowered one grants 1d4+1 x 1.5 = 3.5 x 1.5 = 5.25

Still correct, though rounding takes this to 5 ((3+4+6+7)/4=5).

A 7-times Empowered one grants on average 59, with a max enhancement bonus of 85 on a simple roll of a 4.

Certainly not. Empower uses the D&D multiplication rules, making a 7x Empowered spell 4.5 times as powerful as the base spell, for an average of 15.5 ( (9+13+18+22)/4=15.5 ).

See why these spell abuses should be reigned in?

Some people think it's still abusive as +15. I think the jury's still out on this one...

It's the reusable part that scares me. Most of the smacks are one-shots, but this one just keep going and going.

It's all with 1-point attacks, too!

200 posts exceeded. Closing down now...
I take it that y'all want the thread archived, right? Can do. I must be careful, though, since Piratecat has been experiencing severe problems when trying to archive big threads. Specifically, a lot of posts got lost and since I don't want to risk that here, I'll make a copy of the thread first.

BTW, Jeremy, you could ask an Admin to alter your name in your old account from Jairami to Jeremy (for which he'd need to delete the Jeremy account first, obviously) if you wanted to...

Heh. Like I feared, there were some problems due to length of the thread while archiving it. Thus, this thread here has been damaged quite badly. However, the copy in the archive is intact.
