Red mage's Ruby knowledge II - Algol_Star - 04-30-2014
A quick question about the Ruby Knowledge ability of Red Mages and its wordking.
Ruby Knowledge (Ex): A red mage is specialized in dealing and healing damage with his spells. Whenever a red mage casts a spell that deals hit point dice damage, he adds his Intelligence bonus (if any) to the amount of damage dealt. Whenever a red mage casts a spell that heals hit point dice damage, he adds his Wisdom bonus (if any) to the damage healed. A single spell can never gain this extra damage or healing more than once per casting. If a spell deals or heals damage for more than 1 round, it does not gain the benefit of the ruby knowledge ability. The bonus from the this ability applies only to spells that he casts as a red mage, not to those he might have by virtue of levels in another class.
Now, this bonus to damage and healing I'm lead to assume that this in in addition to the bonus from his charisma? For example, the spell "Cure" is described as;
"A soft white glow surrounds a wounded living creature, healing for 1d6 points of damage + your casting modifier (Wisdom or Charisma) + 1 point per caster level (maximum +5)."
For Red mages, you'd add the CHA bonus and the WIS bonus, is that correct?

Correct.
