The World of Avlis

This may sound like a stupid question, but does the feat Spell Focus (Abjuration) actually affect any of the Dispelling branch of Abjurations?

Ie, Lesser Dispell, Dispell and Greater Dispelling.

It does not affect any dispelling spells.

Nope.

Glyph of Warding & Sanctuary are the only abjuration spells that have saving throws at all. Its a worthless feat for an arcane caster, and can see worthless from where it's standing for a divine caster.

STFU, it is hardly a worthless feat for an arcane caster! It's a totally effin rad RP feat, especially for a magus that fancies herself a demonologist, planeswalker, or summoner type caster. If you can't figure out why, then... well, I'll tell you.

Banishment.

True... any feat can be useful if it's part of your RP.

*hugs his Courteous Mageocracy*

And it helps banishment? Didn't realize that required a save. Cool.

It's the same with Dismissal.. pretty much one of the few abjurations I use.

very similar to spell focus transmutation, it helps your flesh to stone, and your burning hands.

But a focus in Abjuration would increase the DC required to dispel your protective spells, correct?

Banishment.

true ... though the problem is that no one will know weather you hvae or do nt have the feat .... so it's fun to say yeah i focused there and there but imo (call it powerplay if you like) i'll rather drop abjuration and conjuration (which would be teh RP choices for me) and take something taht would actually help me like evocation and necromany.

Anyway sure i can banish a demon but ehm ... a FoD does basically the same so. I just let my RP show what my interests are, not my feats as no one will know those anyway :s. That and it's pretty hard to claim your some powerfull warlock if everyone lives your spells eh?

.... anyway in my case it ain't that bad ... as a warlock is generally a mage who uses the 'darker' side of magic, which often includes shadowy things and demons (summons in general sort to say). so it's not perfect RP wise but hell ..... in this case screw it as otherwise everyone is saving vs my spells :s can't have that

Focus in Transmutation has one other huge bunus for some people on Avlis. Each level of it gives +2 to the success rolls in artificing
