Could you use persistent spell with any of the buff line. Such as bull's strength or eagle's splendor.

The dm may allow it. but keep in mind those are enhancement bonuses, which do not stack with things like a belt of giant strength or the like.

well the DM has a house rule that all effects stack, dont worry, lots of people still die, hehe. Just want to know if that is something i can use with persistent spell...

Hello.

I thought Persistant Spell only worked on spells with a range of You or Personal. Bull's Strength is neither.

Edit: Oh, and this should probably be in Spells and Magic Items.

If you dm is going to allow you to use the persisant feat, many house rule that it is very over powered and out of their games, but each player/dm to their own decisions.

Anyway, have a close look at the divine favor, divine power and righteous might spells. These spells are personal targets and completely compatible with the persistant feat.
Bulls strength, cats grace etc are not personal or fixed range so they can't be persisted.

according to the sage, no.

Sage Advice indicates that touch isn't counted as having a fixed range.

of course, you can always try talking to your DM and get him to rule that touch spells do count as a fixed range :)

i have allowed it and it hasn't proved problematic IMC's. but many believe it to be too powerful as written.
