I would like to have a clarification on the rules for the Elemental Ray.
Elemental Ray (Sp): Starting at 1st level, you can unleash an elemental ray as a standard action, targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. This ray deals 1d6 points of damage of your energy type + 1 for every two sorcerer levels you possess. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.
1) Does the +1 for every 2 sorcerer levels mean +1 damage or plus 1d6 damage?
2) Is the first +1 gained at second level?

It is plus +1 damage, and you get the first +1 at second level.
Usually with "+X per Y levels" starts at the level you gain the ability. So for elemental ray, you would deal 1d6+1 at level 1 and 1d6+2 at level 3. Essentially every odd level would add another +1 to damage.

Thank you.
When the bonus is gained at every odd level it is normally stated explicitly. It will state something like the ability does 1d6+1 and this damage increase by 1 at every other level or every 2 levels past the level the ability was gained at.
The ability specifically say states a formula of every 2 sorcerer levels/2 so it would be every even level.
Agree. At first level it's just 1d6.
I concur.
