i recently had a discussion with a friend if Spikes/ lvl 3 priest spell - complete divine - is having an maximum enchantment(to hit) bonus of +2 and a damage bonus of +10????

or if it has +10 enchantment (to hit) and +10 damage

he told me wizards had written somewhere that the +10/+10 bonus was confirmed as this was the intention of the spell(hard to believe that) could anyone help me out on this matter?

thank you

02-05-06, 08:44 AM It's still an enhancement bonus to damage... just often a very different value than the enhancement to attack. The wording on the damage bonus was cleaned up a bit in the spell compendium (overriding the Complete Divine versions, just as it changed Spikes' duration down to 1 round per level as it should be IMO).

From the Spell Compendium Brambles entry..."It Gains +1 enhancement bonus on its attacks, and also gains a +1 enhancement bonus per caster level on melee damage rolls (max +10)."
