Clarification if these feats stack correctly


Rules Questions


If I am a 9th level Witch with Spell Focus (Necromancy), Greater Spell Focus (Necromancy), Mages Tattoo (Necromancy), and Spell Specialization (Major Curse). Now assuming I have a 22 Intelligence, would the DC of Major Curse be 26? Is that correct?


mages tattoo and spell specialization only affect caster level, not DC. DC would be 10+5+6+2=23


Ohh I'm sorry I'm new, how does caster level affect spells? Could you use Major Curse as an example please


It seems caster level don't affect major curse (or bestow curse for that matter) at all.

Normally caster level affect the duration of the magical effect (example: 1 minute per caster level in the shield spell) and the damage done (example: 1d6 per caster level to cone of cold)


It does not affect the spell itself, but it does affect your ability to defeat spell resistance. It would only be useful if you are going to use Major Curse against opponent with spell resistance.

It does. In this case, a higher caster level gives a greater chance to overcome spell resistance, longer range, and makes it harder to remove (such as with break enchantment or remove curse).

Indeed, I thought that major curse had rouch range like bestow curse.


Thanks all appreciate it
