EDIT: As a matter of fact, I did rule it took a remove curse to get rid of it. Of course it was a moot point since the Paladin that was affected in my party was killed by the Grimstalker and the Assassin Vine soon thereafter.
<p>On the flip side, you're the GM, and what you say goes in a situation like this.</p>
<p>Of course, if you feel that having to send them someplace to get a remove curse cast would be detrimental to the flow of your game, you might be better off letting the lesser restoration handle it.</p>
<p>I run into issues like this with my group because their only divine caster is an oracle with a limited spell list.

<p><b>The Gory Details:</b> Before entering the guard chamber, there was the nasty problem of dealing with Stygian Fires trap in the Daemon Shrine. The rogue couldn't find a trap associated with the strange door, so they decided to open it and move on to take out the strange creature in the next room (one of the PCs can see through thin walls). They opened the door and triggered the trap. Mutumbo took all the damage from the trap and lost a chunk of his Wisdom. The Piscodaemon cast a stinking cloud at the group and took the bard and rogue out of the fight temporarily. Mutmbo charged in and began hacking at the Piscodaemon, but the Piscodaemon got a hold of him with a claw. Mutumbo was bleeding and grappled and the Piscodaemon continued to hold him with a claw and squeeze him until he split apart.</p>
<p>Luckily, they took the daemon down soon thereafter, though the party was pretty decimated because a Greater Shadow (my addition for a six-man group) had attacked them from behind a closed door. Had a couple of people almost incapacitated because of Strength damage.</p>
<p>In addition, the bard had a scroll of raise dead and they were able to bring back Mutumbo. They slept the night in the guard chamber with the doors barred, and the next morning, the wizard teleported them (and the imprisoned centaur) out of there.</p>Name: Mutumbo

Dovan and his bandits took on Oleg, three soldiers from Brevoy, and a couple of redeemed bandits who were helping out around Oleg's. The bandits managed to kill everyone except Oleg, who they left handless. They then strung all the bodies up over the entrance to the compound and set fire to some new structures the PCs and NPCs had been building.</p>
<p>My party arrived at Oleg's the day after a tornado had whipped through the hills and plains around Oleg's. They had seeked refuge in the forest in some low-lying areas. and watched the tornado head off toward the northwest (as they often do). They spotted the smoke from Oleg's and quickened their pace. They then spotted the bodies, and one of the player's who had a love interest in one of the NPCs took off toward Oleg's.</p>
<p>Only Jhod (returned from the temple of the elk and stabilized Oleg) and Oleg were there. They forced Oleg awake and made him tell them where everyone was because they couldn't find bodies. Oleg says they went to Bokken's for potions. They sigh in relief until they realize a tornado was headed to the northwest just yesterday. They take off in the late evening, lame a couple of horses, and get to Bokken's where his hut is collapsed and a tree was barring a door into a cellar of some sort. They move the tree and rescue Bokken and the other NPCs.</p>
<p>After all this, they decided it was time to take care of this Stag Lord.</p>
<p>I had a seven character party at the time. The ranger and rogue decided to loop around to the back of the fort since it wasn't guarded too well. They even managed to spot the trap door at the back of the fort. They started to make their way up to the palisade to investigate when the zombies attacked. The two of them managed to get away without being spotted.</p>
<p>The next day, they decided to take the tricky approach and show up as bandits. Well, one of the players is playing an Animus from one of the 3PP books and has a bear head, so they make him stay in the woods 300 feet from the entrance. They gain entry to the fort and begin moving into position. My group is about as subtle as a tarrasque, so they almost immediately open fire and begin taking out bandits. Once the Animus druid is in, the rogue jury rigs the gate so it can't be opened; it's a fight to the death. The alarm is raised and Akiros and Dovan begin fighting the PCs with the bandits. Dovan opens the gate to let the owlbear out and calls for Auchs to get down here. With all the ruckus, the Stag Lord finally makes his entrance, totally sober because the PCs drank all his booze. He steps out with his bow, spots the Animus Druid who is fighting the owlbear and uses insightful strike to sneak attack, nearly taking the druid down in one shot. The battle basically turned into a huge smorgasborg with every bandit in the fort on the field against my seven PCs (and one animal companion). Auchs took a burning hands from the party witch who then began slumbering things. Akiros turns sides and helps the ranger flank Dovan. They cornered the Stag Lord back into his room where he fights to the death.</p>
<p>Akiros is the only one who survived of the bandits. My party took the charter rather seriously with regards to the unrepentant bandits shall be punished with the rope or the sword.</p>
<p>It was a pretty epic fight with lots of close calls. I didn't have any deaths in Stolen Lands. The party was smart enough to not go chasing the one will o'wisp I rolled on the random encounter table.</p>
<p>Rivers Run Red was totally different.

</blockquote><p>It deals 2d4 damage. Those are DICE. More so than 1d4+1 can claim to be DICE.
<p>It does deal them over rounds, but magic missile deals them via missiles.</p>
<p>The feat makes NO MENTION of duration needing to be instantaneous now does it?</p>
<p>How much damage does a 4 round acid arrow spell deal? 8d4? How much damage does a 4 missile magic missile spell deal? 4d4+4?</p>
<p>How does the FEAT see these as different?</p>
<p>You make a claim here, but have nothing to back it up.</p>
<p>If magic missile can have this feat applied to it, then certainly acid arrow can as well.</p>
<p>Here's the next question: how does intensify work with magic missile? It gets more DICE via the feat. So how does that WORK? It DOESN'T get more missiles obviously as then it can target more creatures. it DOESN'T get more +1's as they are not DICE.</p>
<p>So do we suddenly get magic missiles that deal 2d4+1 damage? That doesn't seem right.</p>
<p>If so can we increase wall of fire? It has DICE. The Damage goes up by level. Perhaps it can deal more than 2d6+level now?</p>
<p>I do agree with you that magic missile was not thought of when writing this feat. I think if it were then... </blockquote><p>I would allow intensify spell to work with wall of fire with respect to the damage for walking through. The difference between this damage and the damage from acid arrow is that the damage for walking through a wall of fire and MM is instantaneous in the same round. At any point with acid arrow, it deals 2d4 instantaneous damage (unaffected by level). Only duration is affected by level, and there already is a feat that extends durations that doesn't have a level cap like intensify spell.
<p>And keep in mind: while I agree with JJ's response and interpretation of Intensify spell, he has said before that rules that are unclear are left to the particular GM to interpret, even in PFS. He said earlier in this thread that he would change the RAW of telekinesis with respect to hurling gargantuan arrows at targets so it became AOE.</p>

<p>If you're a PFS player, clarify with the GM before the game starts how he rules it because as James Jacobs said, even in PFS, there is room for GM interpretation.</p>
<p>In my games, I'm more than happy to give you 2 extra missiles if you want to make it a second level spell with this feat. (It's not 3 extra missiles because MM level caps at 9th caster level and the plus 5 from Intensied Spell only takes you to 14th caster level, so you get a missile at 11th and 13th caster level).</p>
<p>If you're playing in TOZ's game, then know that this feat will be limited to dice per level spells like burning hands, fireball, and lightning bolt.</p>

<p>That's how I'd rule, anyway (and I'd allow intensified spell on magic missile). So in my game, you'd at most get 14d4+14d6 damage in the round for a 6th level (5th if you take the trait) spell. This averages 84 damage no save if done to a single target.</p>
<p>Or... perhaps the sneak attack adds to each target. If you break the spell up to multiple targets, then I could see applying sneak attack to each. Either way, I don't see this doing 14d4+98d6 to one target. That's just me, though.</p>Surprise Spells says it adds the sneak attack damage to the spell not to each missile.
