Gnome Pyromantic Question

[Erefine]

With the pyromantic racial trait for gnomes it says that all fire spells count as 1 lvl higher. Now does this increase the damage or is it just that the D/C check is higher to resist the spells. Thanks

You misread the ability. The SPELLS are not a level higher; the CASTER is a level higher. So a fifth-level pyro wizard casting a Fireball spell will deal 6d6 damage, but the DC will still be 13 + Int mod.

Thank you that makes it a little clearer.
