Rules Questions


Quote:

Class Abilities: Wizards who train at the Arcanamirum, a famous college of the magical arts located in Absalom, spend much of their time studying the practical applications of their spells, often in the school’s dueling fields. As such, some of them have learned the arcane duelist special ability, which replaces the Scribe Scroll feat gained at 1st level.

Arcane Duelist (Su): Wizards with this ability are specially trained to push their spells when needed to gain the upper hand. When pushing a spell, the wizard can choose one of the three following effects: increase a spell’s DC by +1, add +2 to the level check to overcome spell resistance, or add a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls made with the spell. A wizard can use this ability a number of times per day equal to his Intelligence bonus. Using this ability is a swift action.

Exploiter (Archetype) wizard's gains the Arcanist's Arcane Reservoir (replaces arcane bond) which includes the ability to spend 1 point for a +1 to the DC (+2 if you have Potent Magic).

Both are swift actions; So I can use both on the same spell for +2 DC (or +3 even)?

You only get one swift action a turn, and can't trade for more, so no. Pick one :D


Correct. Only one Swift or Immediate Action per turn/round, and each activation requires a Swift Action to utilize the benefits.

In other words, they're mutually exclusive, unless you find an item that allows you to get an extra Swift or Immediate Action in a turn/round.


Yep you're right. For some reason I though you could trade a move action for a swift action (but that would allow for a 2nd quickened spell)


Except the Arcane Reservoir is a free action, not a swift. So they can work together!
