Is there a way to increase a spell's 'DC'?


Advice

Liberty's Edge

Hello All-

I am going to be playing a gnome who uses his Ghost Sound ability a good bit. The DC for this is 10 + spell level + Charisma modifier, which in my case would be 12. That's a pretty low DC for anyone to beat. Is there anyway to make this DC higher?

Thanks in advance!


Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus feats are one way. The gnome gets a bonus to illusions I think. I'm at work so I can't look it up right quick.


item that boost charisma, spell focus


Assuming you're talking about the racial spell like ability for gnomes:

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/greater-spell-focus---final

The gnome's Illusion magic bonus could also be interpreted as applying.

Or increase your Charisma.


Some Sorcerer bloodlines give a DC bonus to specific schools or subschools, but since your charisma is only a 14 or 15, I'm guessing that is not what you'll be playing.

To be honest, I think that taking a one level dip of sorcerer for the infinite cantrips would be the best way to go. It doesn't matter how low the DC is. A 1 is always a failure. Just keep making noises until someone checks it out.


The Feat Ability Focus would increase the DC by another 2.

EDIT: Was spelled out two posts before mine. Sorry about the redundancy.


Does Ability Focus work on that?

On a Spell-like ability, yes.

On an actual spell, no.
