The bonus doesn’t apply to spell damage. Does that mean lvl 1-3:+1 lvl 4-6:+2 lvl 7-9:+3 etc. or lvl 1-5:+1 lvl 6-8:+2 lvl 9-11:+3 etc. I wonder about the same with Magic Vestment...how to interpret what bonuses on what levels...anyone? Thanks for your time folks.

Father Dale 11-22-06, 10:56 AM	Im pretty sure it would be the second way. The text says "for every three levels" and that seems pretty clear. Thus, divide the caster level by 3 and round down, and that would be the bonus.

DarkRhystar 11-22-06, 12:18 PM	I wonder about the same with Magic Vestment...how to interpret what bonuses on what levels...anyone? It's the second way and Magic Vestment clarifies this by saying: You imbue a suit of armor or a shield with an enhancement bonus of +1 per four caster levels (maximum +5 at 20th level). So Magic Vestment is: Level Bonus 5-7 +1 8-11 +2 12-15 +3 16-19 +4 20+ +5
HairyApe 11-22-06, 12:31 PM	I'd have to say it's the first. Other wise you wouldn't be getting a +1 every 3 levels (1-5 = five levels) and that is clearly not what you get. Also, according to the SRD, Divine Favor maxes at +3.
Dunamin 11-22-06, 12:42 PM	Other wise you wouldn't be getting a +1 every 3 levels (1-5 = five levels) and that is clearly not what you get. No, the spell description (from PHB) specifically states that you always get at least +1.
Father Dale 11-22-06, 12:44 PM	I think he might be right on the +3 for Divine Favor. I think it was errata'd, just like Righteous Might was. Note that Righteous Might has not been changed in the SRD either.
Dunamin 11-22-06, 12:46 PM	You're right, it was in the Errata. My bad.
cato_jensen@hotmail.com 11-22-06, 03:00 PM	A bit forth and back here, but if I understand correctly, this is what you agreed upon? Divine favour is: Level Bonus 1-5 +1 6-8 +2 9-> +3 and Magic vestment is: Level Bonus 5-7 +1 8-11 +2 12-15 +3 16-19 +4 20+ +5
Dunamin 11-22-06, 03:19 PM	A bit forth and back here, but if I understand correctly, this is what you agreed upon? Divine favour is: Level Bonus 1-3 +1 4-6 +2 7-> +3 No. It was: lvl 1-5:+1 lvl 6-8:+2 lvl 9-11:+3
Teron Gorefiend 11-22-06, 03:21 PM	Divine favour is: Level Bonus 1-3 +1 4-6 +2 7-> +3 No. It works just like it says: +1 per three caster levels, but with a minimum of +1 and a maximum of +3.
cato_jensen@hotmail.com 11-23-06, 03:45 AM	Ok, thanks, got it now.
