    Default Rakhir's +2 caster level bonus on SLA's

    Can someone else verify this please? When I was running around casting my SLA's and the Rakhir's set bonus went off, it didn't appear to affect my SLA's. My haste was still the same length and so was jump, etc. However, it did work when I actually casted the real spell from my spell book. Has anyone encountered this yet? I'm interested to see if the other SLA's are the same way, as I only have transmuting.

    I don't have an archmage with the set yet, but I would send in a bug report ASAP.

    By default, Spell-like effects granted through feats and enhancements use a Character Level for the effect's Caster Level. For whatever reason, effects that boost Caster Level can not enhance spells based off of Character Level (such as Positive Energy Aura and Radiant Servant's caster level bonus to positive energy spells).

    For instance, if you were a 10 Wizard/6 Ranger who went Archmage (Abjuration) and had Song of Arcane Power you would have the following from Resist Energy:

    Cast as Ranger: Caster Level 7 (6 Ranger + 1 Song of Arcane Power)
    Cast as Wizard: Caster Level 11 (10 Wizard + 1 Song of Arcane Power)
    Cast as Spell-like: Caster Level 16 (16 Character Levels, ignore Song of Arcane Power)

    The SLA's do get affected by the bard song, but not the archmage bonus. I have tested both scenarios. I have filed a bug report already. I can't imagine an archmage bonus not affecting an archmage ability. I guess we'll see.
