Amulet of Power

Divine Power

Description: The caster gains the following bonuses: 1 extra Hit Points per caster level and base attack bonus improves to that of a Fighter of the same level (this spell no longer boosts the Cleric's strength to 18).


If the Caster's Base Attack Bonus rises high enough, they may receive an additional attack at their highest base attack bonus. For example, a level 20 cleric has base attacks at +15/+10/+5. After casting the spell, the bonuses are enhanced to +20/+15/+10 with an additional attack at +20, for a total of 4 attacks.

But the Amulet only casts Divine Power at level 7, giving a BAB bonus of only TWO to everyone except mages if I understandthis correctly.

Compare this to the Amulet of Ice, which is non-planar, doesn't belong to someone as nasty as the Emperor of Terra, and gives the same Wisdom bonus *and* +4AC.

What is the purpose of the Amulet of Divine Power? What makes it not useless?

the divine power makes it not useless. my PM carried 5 before the wipe and my wiz has one now. with the ammy and true strike my wiz has a +50ab for 8 seconds. with max tensers and the ammy i can hold a +40ab for a few mins....thats what makes it good.

So does the Divine Power not work as described at level 7? Is the spell description wrong?

[Death Dealer1]

i don't know, but it boosts your ac. for a non cleric/non melee class it helps out in a pinch

The Level 7 part only applies to the duration, but this was created pre-changes to clerics. Pre-changes it would have been 7 rounds but now its 1 turn so the level of the spell is irrelevant. The spell brings the BAB up to that of a fighter of that level. So it doesn't matter what level the spell is on that part, it matters what level you are.

[CrazyJ]

I see... so a pure cleric @ 20+ gets +5 to AB, pure mageling at 20+ gets +10 (since bab progression is the same for all classes after 20).

[P. Fricebottle]

Exactly.
