Spell damage and caster level


Rules Questions


Just a quick question - a lot of spells that deal damage have increased damage based upon caster level. For instance - Produce Flame deals 1d6 + 1/level.

My question is: does the 1d6 increase due to caster level as well? Or is it just the +1?

I'm reading it as it is only the +1 that increases, but I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks!

It's just the plus one, otherwise it would have been written as (1d6+1)/level.

The "lot of spells" you're thinking of are all 1st and 2nd level spells for the most part. Can't have them outdamageing 3rd level spells now, can we?
