You can use your arcane skill to make your magics nearly impossible to resist

Prerequisites: Caster Level 21, Heighten Spell (Feat)

Benefit: An Improved Heighten spell changes the way its saving throw DC (if any) is calculated. When applied to a spell, its saving throw DC becomes:

10 + ½ Character Level + Caster Stat Modifier +2

This feat makes all spells have a 'stronger than strong' save DC when applied, adding a +2 stacking bonus even to a strong save, and tremendously boosting weak saves. If the spell does not permit a saving throw, or the saving throw is 'harmless' (i.e. a beneficial spell that targets willing creatures, who would only save if they had to, such as when they have Spell Resistance), this feat provides no benefit.

Level Increase: +1
