@Tacticslion
No worries about the tone. And I get the point you're making

Thanks for responding.

@ckdragons, thanks for the response. And thanks for your candor about your own assumption on this.

However, why in the world would this be left undefined by Paizo? I don't get that, at all.

Cheers,

Ok, thanks for those answers.

Can you tell me where Paizo defines the syntax of their stat blocks? Most of it, of course, is self-evident, but there are a couple of things (like this one) that aren't obvious.

In other words: How did you two know the meaning of that '2'?

Thanks, again!

Greetings,

I've looked high and low for an answer. Now I am here.

If you were to take a look in the NPC Codex at the stat blocks of, for example, a couple of Illusionist NPCs, specifically, Prankster Illusionist (p.185) and/or Black Ice (p.238), you would find in one or two of their Spells a single digit instead of the DC, or in addition to the DC. For instance, with Prankster Illusionist, look at color spray:

1st -- color spray (2, DC 17)

While in Black Ice, you'll see:

2nd -- invisibility (2) and
1st -- magic missile (2)

Can someone tell me what those digits signify? Both by themselves, and with the DC?

Thanks!
