[QUOTE="apsuman, post: 317957, member: 1769"] First, when trying to implement rules for a game, I think it best to apply a literal interpretation. Now, back on point, the first sentence of the feat "All variable, numeric effects of an empowered spell are increased by one-half." With that sententence, I would agree that it implied (to me) that only the 1d4 part of the magic missle spell would be effected. However, teh second sentece applies clear direction "An empowered spell deals half again as much damage as normal, cures half again as many hit points, affects half again as many targets, etc., as appropriate." Now, I do not see how you can subjectively apply that the +'s from the CLW are not the same as the +1 from the magic missles. However, my trump card is in the PHB, [i]"For example, an empowered magic missle deals one and one-half times normal damage (roll 1d4+1 and multiply the result by 1.5 for each missle)."[/i] PHB page 82. a-ha! g!
