Well, zadoc showed you one way - assume all dragons have it, extrapolate the math from there. Give a giant 4 wizard levels and wonder how that's actually nonassociated (2 CR less) than 4 fighter...

Why not just houserule extended and persistent spell to not apply to 1 round (as opposed to 1 rounde per level) spells? Seems that would solve the problem, and any spell that designers see fit to...

My biggest beef with wraithstrike is when it's used against constructs, especially Iron Golems. It just doesn't seem right to me that the 'wraith' like qualities should affect them... but this is...

I think they screwed up the editing for wraithstrike. IMHO, it should say either "duration: instantaneous" or "duration: see text" like True Strike, and then describe how it affects the attacks for...
