I was messing about making npcs for a campaign I'm creating, and I came across this ability within the Sorceror's aberrant bloodline abilities and powers.
Acidic Ray (Sp): Starting at 1st level, you can fire an acidic ray as a standard action, targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. The acidic ray deals 1d6 points of acid damage + 1 for every two sorcerer levels you possess. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.
As you can see by the bold text, I'm not quite sure if the scaling of the damage applies to the d6 AND the +1, or just the +1. For example, would a lvl 8 sorceror with Acidic Ray deal 4d6+4 acid damage, or 1d6+4.
For the sake of argument, is there a spell that scales by number of die AND bonus damage, and how would it be notated, according to pathfinder rules?
