Dispel Magic improvement

[Namora]

Dear all,

Nearly everytime I try to dispel/counter-dispel something I fail in my D20-check. Is there any option to improve the check?

Thanks for your advise!

This is better directed to the Advice forum.

Any feat or trait that allows you to cast the spell as though your caster level were higher should grant you a bonus on the dispel check. So for example if you took the Gifted Adept trait or the feat Spell Specialization it should increase your effective CL for the check.

I say should because there may be an FAQ limiting feats and traits from raising your caster level higher than your actual caster level. But I haven't read up on that area recently.

Do what Sela Kurn did and you will be fine. He can automatically dispel anything from a spellcaster several levels higher.

Check here and here for examples of what powerful dispellers are capable of.
