Ways to Make Spells Harder to Dispel?

[James McMurray]

(like a feat that makes your spells 2 levels higher for the purposes of caster level checks when being dispelled)

One of the Books of Eldritch <ight has a feat that does exactly this.

Also, R&R has a spell called ghost dweomer. You cast it on another spell, and the illusory dweomer gets dispelled first,

Clerics of the various "alignment" domains get +1 caster level to those spells.

It ain't much, but it doesn't specific the domain bonus only applies to clerical spells. So a LG Cleric 1 (Lawful and Good Domain)/Sorcerer 19 would have an effective caster level of 21.

Clerics can use a necklace of prayer beads (karma) to get a +4 bonus on their caster level.

Wrong, you dont mix caster level from different sources. A wiz 10 / sor 10 has caster level 10 for wiz & sor spells, not 20.

Besides increasing the caster level, is there any way to make your spells harder to dispel.

Be ready to counter those dispels when they come in your direction.

Thanks!

No prob.

Tenacious Magic: I think it is a +2 to DC for dispelling when dispeller's spell is cast from Mystara's weave of magic (FRCS)
Spell Girding: +2 to DC for dispelling (MoF)
Spell Thematics: +5 DC to spellcraft check to identify spell (MoF)
Any domain that increases caster level - many of the ones in the PHB simply add +1 to caster level. However, some from DotF and FRCS add +2 and Summoning doubles your caster level (for summoning spells only)

PSIONICS!

Once again, they've been over looked. The Ablating power. 6th level. adds +6 to the DC to dispell one thingummy.

You might want to check my example again. It's a Sorcerer 19/ Cleric 1 for an effective caster level 21 for the Sorcerer when he casts a spell that is both lawful and good (for example, Summon Monster 9, summoning a Couatl) would be summoned as if it were caster level 21, lasting 21 rounds. That's 19 (Sorcerer) +1 (Lawful) +1 (Good). We're not mixing caster levels; we're adding the domain abilities, which are:

"Granted Power: You cast Law spells at +1 caster level."

and

"Granted Power: You cast Good spells at +1 caster level."

Create Magic Tattoo from the FRCS will let a 13th or higher level Sor/Wiz cast their spells as if one level higher. I suppose you could cast this three times, the maximum number of allowable tattoos (must've been written by someone old, I would make it three times per extremity), to raise your caster level by three.
