Are two copies of a spell with different DCs for saves then of equal potency as well? Since the DC produced by different casters is not part of the spell description? I would interpret the "effect" to mean the effect on the character (using / applying the bonus), NOT the effect on the player (rolling the dice). | |

| Jul 15, 2020 at 0:00 | comment | added | Kirt | "it is unambiguous that determining which effect is more potent is done before the effects are applied;" If two rolls were allowed, determining which bonus was more potent would be done before the effects were applied. The effects are applied when the resulting bonus modifies a die roll. Deciding between two die rolls which to apply is done before the results are applied, not after. | |

| Jul 14, 2020 at 23:51 | comment | added | Kirt | The example given of the 'most potent effect' is "the highest bonus". So you are saying that both bless spells give a bonus of "d4", rather than one gives a bonus of +3 and another +2 this round. Would you also then say that a single bless spell gives "the same bonus every round" (d4)? I can understand that as a resolution of my question, but it is not how I would use the word bonus. | |
