"The Lore skill gained from one's Background advances at the same rate as Lore skills purchased using a skill feat." As much as I like this, I think it is intentionally set up so you aren't missing out if you choose the wrong background. Like, how often will you ever roll mining lore? Or circus lore? Though, that is more a problem with useless lores than anything.
The problem with +1 to DC's is that it is a +5% chance for the enemy to crit fail. Crit fail on a spell can end an encounter, while a crit success on an attack will just do more damage. Having an item that only bolsters a single spell would be interesting, though, because it could be limited to less destructive spells. Like, crit failing Command isn't too bad, but Feeblemind... "The target’s intellect is permanently reduced below that of an animal, and it treats its Charisma, Intelligence, and Wisdom modifiers as –5. It loses all class abilities that require mental faculties, including all spellcasting. If the target is a PC, they become an NPC under the GM’s control." Imagine hitting the big bad with that.
The way I see it, casters have 4 DC's to target: Reflex, Fortitude, Will, and AC. Martial's need +1 and such because they are only targeting one of those. Still, cantrip selection is limited. A +1 item that only applied to cantrips would be a nice addition. |
