The Only Sheet |
If my PFS spell caster character received a Level Bump, he gains multiple bonuses, one of which is "spell damage': So if I use a spell that does 1d6 fire damage, this would become 1d6+1 fire damage. So far so good.
What happens if a spell has multiple sources of damage, with different types? How is the level bump spell damage applied in this case?
EXAMPLE: Look at the Chilling Darkness Spell 3: It deals 5d6 cold dmg, plus another 5d6 evil damage if the target is a celestial (assume that IS the case here) - How is this handled in regards to the +1 dmg granted by the level bump?
Is the damage 5d6+1 cold plus 5d6+1 evil?
Or just 5d6+1 cold plus 5d6 evil damage?
Or 5d6 cold plus 5d6+1 evil damage?
While this is but one example, there are other spells that incur two types of damage... (like Tempest Touch)
I would like to know the official ruling on the Level Bumps's bonus to spell damage!
THANKS!

I'd probably assume it adds +1 to the first damage type listed in the spells description.
That is reasonable but I don't see a problem with letting that +1 be untyped. It is a bonus for a very lower level character and giving them a little extra zip to their spells I don't see as a bad thing.
