Why does everyone love Dragonfire Inspiration?

Pyroclastic is a legal choice for half Dragons or Draconic Heritage (skill: Listen, choose Fire or Sonic to get save bonus against).

Same with Chaos (bonus vs. Compulsions)

I love how no one has taken a second look at the end of my post.

You know, the part where I say you can apply Fell Drain or Searing Spell to Inspirational Boost to make attacks you make drain a level/bypass Fire Resistance respectively.

Wait, if the Fell Drain is legal, would it bestow a negative level for each IC type? I.e., would I drain 3 levels each time I hit, no save?

Hope not.

Maybe b/c I can't even figure out what you mean by that.  Why would a metamagic feat be applied?  Are you hoping to apply Fell Drain to Inspirational Boost?  I see that as kind of a reach, too.  You can't Fell Drain Polymorph, even though the Strength bonus will increase the damage your friends do.

Benefit: You can alter a spell that deals damage to foes

You need to do some metamagic chaining to even apply it, and then what? Inspirational Boost only deals damage to your self so you gain a negative level. Inspire is a separate. effect

Dang, I knew there was a difference between Critical Strike and Inspirational Boost. Scratch that part, please.

Here's why everyone loves it, short and sweet version: If I can pick between adding 4 to hit and damage of my party's beatface, or adding 4d6 damage to my party's beatface, I'd rather add 4d6. Because except for one out of 1296 attacks, it's better than +4 damage. In fact, that saves him Power Attacking for 4, and still nets more damage, so you don't lose anything.

If we fight something immune to that, or it rarely beats the resistance, I just use regular inspire instead of dragonfire inspire. It isn't like you trade one away for the other.
