Hi all,
I've just started playing Pathfinder and I decided to play a Wizard. I love the way the class plays, but I'm having issue with some of the spell descriptions. What does "Per two caster levels" mean???
For instance the wording of Ray of Enfeeblement states - "A coruscating ray springs from your hand. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike a target. The subject takes a penalty to Strength equal to 1d6+1 per two caster levels (maximum 1d6+5). The subject's Strength score cannot drop below 1. A successful Fortitude save reduces this penalty by half. This penalty does not stack with itself. Apply the highest penalty instead." (emphasis mine)
So does this mean that i get a 1d6 + 2 at 2nd level? then 1d6 + 3 at 4th?
Or does it mean 1d6+2 at 3rd level. +3 at 5th, etc. etc.
At least magic missile is clearly stated, but... its not worded exactly the same.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
