I try to create a homebrew spell for healing. Its a level 2 spell and heals for 2d4+1. I want to let it scale 1d4+1 each level but it seems i cant get it working in the charakter sheet.
Spell scaling is 1 on Bonus - Hit Points (2d4 + 1) as additional Points with 1d4 and a fixed value 1. In the character sheet the dice roll scales as intended but it stays on +1 on all levels.
I tried splitting the modifier up in different ways but nothing seems to work. Is there something i just did not see yet?
The work around is to do it like Magic Missile and do mil pile instances of 1d4+1. It would only roll 1d4+1 and every instance would use the same roll, but....
That would work, i see the but tough .. i would like to keep the rolls to a minimum.
I think i will use the ability modifier, that makes the spell slightly stronger on lower levels. Balance should still be fine.
Since what I recommend would roll 1d4+1, that’s the only roll. So if it would be 3 instances of it and you rolled a 3, then +1 would make it 4. Times three instances and it would be 12 total. If you rolled a 1, then +1 would be 2 times three instances would make it 6 total.
Thank you for the answer. I guess i will have to find a workaround.
Actually you "can" get it to function the way you want, but it takes a little more effort on your end. In short, you have to set the scaling "spell level" then apply the proper scaling to each spell level. Which because you have it as a 2nd level spell, you got to this for levels 3-9.

No, you didn’t miss anything. The +1s just don’t scale like that.
