:You choose to use ''Dispel Magic | :You can choose to use ''Greater Dispel Magic'' in one of three ways: a targeted dispel, an area dispel, or to suppress a spell-like or supernatural ability in one or more creatures: | ||
:*''' | :*'''Dispel Spells:''' Greater Dispel Magic can be used to dispel one spell on the target creature or object with a [[Caster Check]] result of a [[Skill DC|Challenging]] DC, versus the target creature's CR or target object's caster level (this is identical to [[Dispel Magic (Spell)]]). If the caster check result equals or exceeds a [[Skill DC|Hard]] DC for the target's CR or CL, it dispels up to two spells present on that creature or object. If the check result equals or exceeds an [[Skill DC|Impossible]] DC for the target's CR or CL, it dispels up to three spells present on that creature or object. As with [[Dispel Magic (Spell)]], the spells removed can be selected by the dispelling caster if the spells or known, or are chosen randomly. | ||
same as if the curse were a spell (Challenging DC based on the casting creature's CR or triggering object's CL). | |||
:*'''Area Dispel:''' When ''Dispel Magic | :*'''Area Dispel:''' When ''Greater Dispel Magic'' is used in this way, the spell affects everything within a 20-foot-radius burst. Roll one dispel check and apply that check to each creature in the area, as if targeted by [[Dispel Magic (Spell)]]. For each object within the area that is the target of one or more spells, apply the dispel check as with creatures. Magic items are not affected by an area dispel. | ||
::For each ongoing area | ::For each ongoing area of effect spell whose point of origin is within the area of the ''Dispel Magic, Greater'' spell, apply the dispel check to dispel the spell. For each ongoing spell whose area overlaps that of the ''Greater Dispel Magic'' spell, apply the dispel check to end the effect, but only within the overlapping area. | ||
::If an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by [[Summon Monster (Spell)]]) is in the area, apply the dispel check to end the spell that conjured that object or creature (returning it whence it came) in addition to attempting to dispel one spell targeting the creature or object. | ::If an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by [[Summon Monster (Spell)]]) is in the area, apply the dispel check to end the spell that conjured that object or creature (returning it whence it came) in addition to attempting to dispel one spell targeting the creature or object. | ||

:*''' | :* '''Suppress Abilities:''' Finally, ''Greater Dispel Magic'' can be used to temporarily suppress a a [[Spell-Like Ability|spell-like]] or [[Supernatural Ability|supernatural]] ability in one or more creatures within the range of the spell. This functions the same as [[Dispel Magic (Spell)]], except that the caster may target more than one creature in range of the spell. The target DC remains a [[Skill DC|Challenging]] DC based on the highest CR of the target creatures, but the effective CR of the check's DC is increased by +2 for each additional creature after the first being targeted. This must be declared before the dispel check is rolled. | ||
:: ''Example:'' A caster wishes to suppress the ''Breath of Shadow'' ability (a supernatural ability) on several CR 15 Dragloths. The caster wishes to target a total of 3 of the dragloths present, which means the effective CR, for purposes of determining the DC of the check, is increased by 4 (+2 per dragloth after the first), making them effectively CR 19. To achieve a [[Skill DC|Challenging]] DC for CR 19, the caster must achieve at least a {{Skill-DC|Challenging|19}} on their check. If the result equals or exceeds this number, all three dragloths lose the ability to use this ability for 1 round (until the start of the caster's next turn). If the result is less than this number, the ability is not suppressed on any of the target dragloths. If the check result equals or exceeds a {{Skill-DC|Hard|19}} (a Hard DC for CR 19), the ''Breath of Shadow'' ability is suppressed for 2 rounds on all three dragloths. If the check result equals or exceeds a {{Skill-DC|Impossible|19}} (an Impossible DC for CR 19), the ''Breath of Shadow'' ability is suppressed for 3 rounds on all three dragloths. | |||
