Changes: Dispel magic

Revision as of 17:21, 14 December 2019

Spell level: bard 3; cleric 3; druid 4; paladin 3; sorcerer/wizard 3

Innate level: 3
School: abjuration
Components: verbal, somatic
Range: medium (20 meters)
Area of effect: colossal (10 meter radius), or single creature
Duration: instant
Save: none
Spell resistance: ~~yes~~ no

Description: This spell attempts to strip all magical effects from a single target. It can also target a group of creatures, attempting to remove the most powerful spell effect from each creature. To remove an effect, the caster makes a dispel check of 1d20 +1 per caster level (to a maximum of +10) against a DC of 11 12 + the spell effect's caster level.

Notes

The area of effect is large; the spell description incorrectly lists it as colossal.
The in-game description of this spell erroneously reports that it is affected by spell resistance; dispel magic does not check spell resistance.
The DC is incorrectly reported in-game; it is actually 12 + caster level, with some vagaries in the determination of the effective caster level. See dispel for details.
If used as an area of effect, this spell will also attempt to dispel any area of effect spells centered in affected area.
Most of the spells of a level 19 caster are immune to dispel magic, as the dispeller's best possible roll is 30 (20+10), while the DC is 31 (12+19).
