Dispel Magic spell with 2 Feats attached ...


Rules Questions


Hey Everyone.

If my wizard is casting a Dispel Magic spell with the Focused Spell metamagic feat (+1) and he also has the Destructive Dispel feat ... does the Destructive Dispel triggered component of the spell (the FORT Save to avoid stunning) benefit from the +2 DC bonus of Focused Spell??

I hope I explained that clearly enough. I'm looking for a strict RAW interpretation.

Thank you so much for your time and attention!

A better question might be how are you attaching the Focused spell metamagic to a dispel magic when focused spell requires that the spell have multiple targets, and dispel magic targets one creature?

If you're instead just asking if an effect heightens the spell DC of a Dispel Magic, is this heightened DC used for the Destructive Dispel feat, then yes, it uses the same DC as the spell used.

Dispel Magic doesn't require a saving throw to resist so Focus Spell doesn't add anything per its description. Destructive Dispel adds a rider to a successful Dispel Magic, but it doesn't change that Dispel Magic doesn't require a saving throw.
