greater dispel magic question


Rules Questions

Dark Archive

Could not find in my search-fu:

From the PRD:

"Targeted Dispel: This functions as a targeted dispel magic, but it can dispel one spell for every four caster levels you possess, starting with the highest level spells and proceeding to lower level spells."

So when a wizard at 11th level casts greater dispel magic, how many does the wizard get?

Does he get 2 because 4th/8th

OR

Does he get 3 because 1 thru 4, 5 thru 8, 9 thru 12?

Debate is between me and a player...

Thanks all


1 person marked this as a favorite.

You always round down in pathfinder unless otherwise stated, so he would be able to dispel two spells. He doesn't get that third dispel until he hits level 12.

For three spells at level 11 it would need to say 'it can dispel one additional spell for every four caster levels'.
