Dispel Magic vs Spells with Metamagic Feats


Rules Questions

Dark Archive

When using dispel magic against a target with a number of active spells, does the matemagic feats applied to the active spells count when determining which spell is dispelled?

For example, the target has bull's strength and extended mirror image, both casted at 5th level. Will a successful caster level check with dispel magic dispel the bull's strength or the mirror image? Both are 2nd level spells, but the extended mirror image uses a 3rd level spell slot.


I believe it will be random between spells of the same level, the metamagic shouldn't be a factor.


Dispel magic only cares about caster level, spell level doesn't factor in.


Yeah, spell level doesn't matter to dispel. Only caster level.

If all spells are at same caster level (which is common) I'm not sure their is an official way to resolve which spell is targeted first (unless you call for a specific spell per Dispel Magic).

Complete overlooked dispel magic only considers caster level to determine whether a spell is dispelled.

Thanks for reminding me. :)
