However, after re-reading the spell description I can't find anything of that kind. Have I been doing too much drug or is it correct? :) thx

It's d20+Your caster level vs 11+ their caster level. In the specific case of a 7th vs a 9th, you'd be rolling d20+7 vs 20, so you'd need a 13 or higher.
Oya971 09-21-07, 06:08 AM	ok thx for the clarification. I really don't know where I had read this (or imagined I had read this, more likely).

When a caster makes one of his own spells permanent on himself, and that spell is one he can only make permanent on himself, Dispel magic and the like will work only when it is cast at a higher CL than the character was when he cast the original spell. But that is a special case that is not true generally.
