Spell DC Question

[Kilgore Trout73]

Hi

As always, thanks in advance for your help.

Question on how additions to spell DCs stack.

Let's say I'm playing a 9th level kitsune sorcerer with the maestro bloodline. 20 charisma. I've taken the kitsune FC Bonus every level as well as spell focus enchantment and greater spell focus enchantment.

Lesser geas is a spell with the enchantment, verbal only, and language dependent notations.

What is the DC of this spell?

Is it a 24? In other words, doed every modifier stack?

Level +4
Kitsune magic +1 to all enchantment spells
Kitsune FC Bonus +2
Maestro arcana +1 (treats verbal only as 1 level higher)
Maestro bloodline power +1 (+1 to language dependent spells)
Charisma +5
Base +10

Looks like it

The Maestro bloodline arcana just increases your effective caster level, doesn't it? Caster level doesn't impact your DCs.

This is correct. Your DC is 23.

As far as I can see your calculation on DC is off.
+2 Spell Focus (Enchantment)
+2 G. Spell Focus (Enchantment)
+4 Spell lvl
+1 Kitsune Magic (racial)
+1 Perfect Voice (Maestro Bloodline ability)
+2 Kitsune FC bonus
+5 Charisma bonus
+10 Base DC
=
27 total DC.

And Because you are a Maestro you count as 1 lvl higher when casting the spell.
Furthermore, if you started with 20 charisma and used both stat increases in it, and wore a +2 or +4 charisma item your DC would be even more rockstar.

ooh! missed the (greater)spell focus - good spot Lifat.

I don't see Spell Perfection in the build, so Spell Focus/Greater should only be granting +1 each

Just wanted to thank everyone for the feedback.

Nice to know all that spell DC stuff stacks. Wow. Granted, it's a small slice of the usable spells and, as I'm learning, a sorcerer is all about versatility, but it sure seems like there's a lot of power in lesser geas, especially with that DC:

Hit your sword against the stone until it's in 100 pieces
Count X of Y (grains of sand in a beach, stars in the sky, drops of water in that lake
I'm sure there are more creative ones than I'm thinking of.

If the level weren't so high, might be good for Magical Lineage/Quicken...as it is that would be 6th, I believe. Might be worth it, although it wouldn't get much play in PFS.

Yet, I digress.

Learned a lot from your answers....thank you!
