Question, possible bug, on GMW description
« on: May 07, 2007, 11:01:54 am »
The spell description for [lore]Greater Magic Weapon[/lore] states:

Quote
You empower the touched weapon with a +1 enhancement bonus per 5 caster levels (maximum of +5). You can either directly target the weapon you want to cast this spell on, or you can target a creature, affecting the creature's main hand weapon.
Is this actually correct?  The way it's written makes it sound as if it's +1 at level 5-9, +2 at level 10-14, etc., capping out at +5 at caster level 25, which would make it kind of pointless to use this spell until you have 10 or more caster levels, even though you can get the spell as early as level 5 (Wizard), as you could just use the regular level 1 spell Magic Weapon instead (same duration, and no material component, either).

Or should it be "+1 enhancement bonus plus +1 enhancement bonus per 5 caster levels (maximum of +5)"?  Which would be +2 at level 5-9, +3 at level 10-14, etc., capping out at +5 at caster level 20.

It's correct as you first put it yes.

+1 untill casterlevel 9
+2 untill casterlvel 14
+3 untill casterlevel 19
+4 untill casterlevel 24
+15 from level 25 and beyond

At level 15 a mage can already give a blade the same enchantment bonus as a mithral weapon mind you.

And yes, you're better off with magic weapon till level 10.
