There's a lot here that I don't like, but we'll start with the bonus size and spellcraft check first. You do know that the spellcraft check is 15+ spell level right? So with the minimum skill ranks (12) and intelligence modifier (+3) they have a +15 to their check. They automatically ID 1st level spells, and ID 9th level spells more than half the time (and eventually get to auto ID them too). And since it doesn't take an action, they can do it against every cast spell if they want. So... was the intent to give them +6 SR and save bonus against almost every spell that isn't cast in ambush against them? - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 20:23, 29 October 2012 (UTC) | There's a lot here that I don't like, but we'll start with the bonus size and spellcraft check first.
