[3.5] Raising Caster Level

[Burley]

I'm playin' a sorcerer here soon, which'll be going into Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil. I'm wondering if there is anyway to increase your CL for abjuration spells. I know spell focus increases DCs for them, but that doesn't help me with Dispel Magic and such.
Any ideas?

The non-archived thread's table makes it easier to read. (http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:b4W955AVzukJ:forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D615672%26highlight%3Dhieropha nt+site:forums.gleemax.com+%22raising+caster+level %22&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a)

Arcane Thesis feat adds +2 to your caster level for a specific spell, and lowers the cost of metamagic applied by 1. Only applies to one spell, though.

[sofawall]

Shieldstone Cavern deserves mention, just in case you miss it in the list.

+1 CL to all Abjuration spells, 1 year, 1,000 gp (magical location).

[Starbuck_II]

Scrolls (UMD) or potions of Adept Spirit (Cleric 2/Wiz 3).

The spell lasts 1 hr/level. But activating the +1 insight caster level bonus is an immediate action that lasts 1 min/level.

Create Magic Tattoo [SpC]
Dumb question, I'm sure, but can someone tell me which source is "SpC"?:smallconfused:

[lsfreak]

Spell Compendium.

[Curmudgeon]

The Clerical Purification Domain's granted power is +1 CL for Abjuration spells. If you don't want a dip, a Domain Draught (Magic Item Compendium, page 156) gives you the power for 24 hours.

[only1doug]

be a kobold for a free level of sorcerer (yes level, not caster level. see the web enhancement (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20060420a) of races of the dragon).

If you have lost caster levels from your PRC then practiced spellcaster returns upto 4 lost caster levels (cannot increase above total character level).

Or Planar Touchstone: Catalogues of Enlightement [PlH] feat.

But, making sure this is clear, it is only CL, not spellcaster level. You do not get spell/day or spells known.

Many people get confused there.

EDIT: 3 ninjas (or pseudo-ninjas) in as many minutes. What. The. F***.

[Dhavaer]

There's an abjuration Reserve feat in Complete Mage that will give you +1.

[Curmudgeon]

Yes, only Clerics can get this, via the appropriate Candle of Invocation (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#candleofInvocation). (Most people ignore this capability because of the alternate use to generate a Gate.)

Theres a Transmutation spell from SpC I believe that raises your caster level by 1 for the next spell.

[Starbuck_II]

There are Bard spells that do that, but requires a Bard to do it (concentration I think).

[Claudius Maximus]

Don't forget Adept Spirit. It's an Incarnum spell and thus you need a feat to cast it, but it gives a +1 insight bonus to CL.

I believe this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0012.html) strip would be appropriate here.

Suffer the Flesh in eberron is a spell that lets you take con damage to raise your caster level for 1 round. Casts as a swift action. Its pretty good for daily buffs, because you can heal the con damage right after.

I thought this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0003.html) would have fit better.

[woodenbandman]

Earth Spell. Arcane Thesis applies nicely here.

Question: can Magic Tattoos be permanencied?
