06-30-07, 08:00 AM Can a caster choose to cast a spell at a lower than their actual caster level? I.e. have the spell have less effect than it normally would.

If so, could the CL used be lower than the minimun caster level required to actually cast the spell>

It should be in the PHB somewhere, perhaps under magic overview.

06-30-07, 11:05 AM It's on page 171 of the PHB, under the section marked "Caster Level". It's the start of the second paragraph.

Yes you could cast lower, no you could not cast lower than the minimum caster level for a spell of that level.
