Talk:Spell Damage Increase

Two questions were included in the entry when it was added. They have been included here, as I don't know the answer. Good questions that could enhance the article, though the spell damage formula could use its own page. OK, enough musings!

Regarding Evaluate Intelligence forumula:

does the above for eval = a flat # damage added or is it a % added to base damage?

Regarding the Inscription Bonus:

question is does the 10% add the % from the base damage or the % after all the previous factors are figured in?

Here's some more... does SDI affect Weapon specials at all? Spellweaving? Necro spells? Holy light?

Spell Damage increase

Max spell damage as of pub 57 is 99 SDI, this includes all of the following: Spell Woven Britches 10, Crystaline Ring 20, any Bracelet with +12, Kasa of the Rajin 12, Midnight Bracers 10, Pendant of the Magi 5, and the War of Shadows Spell Book 30.

SDI does affect Poison Strike it does not affect pain spike or Holy Light. I do not know about Word of Death someone else needs to test that but i beleive it does as word of death is similar to poison strike as it is not dependant on a secondary scource like the pain spike formula (involves spirit speak) or the holy light formula (involves karma)
