Versatile Evocation and Multi Classing


Rules Questions

As I read Versatile Evocation it seems that it would work with any evocation spell you could cast not just your wizard's spells.

Here is the discription of the ability.

Versatile Evocation (Su): When you cast an evocation spell that does acid, cold, electricity, or fire damage, you may change the damage dealt to one of the other four energy types. This changes the descriptor of the spell to match the new energy type. Any non-damaging effects remain unchanged unless the new energy type invalidates them (an ice storm that deals fire damage might still provide a penalty on Perception checks due to smoke, but it would not create difficult terrain). Such effects are subject to GM discretion. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

Anyone see a reason that it wouldn't work on all evocation spells? (Not just wizard evocation spells)

Nope, definitely works for any spells you cast.


I play a wizard/druid (3.5 Arcane Hierophant prestige class)and I have always used versatile Evocation with spells from both lists.

I agree wit Cartman, there is nothing in the description that suggests that you shouldn't be able to.

Enjoy!
