Benediction adds both AS and DS (non-bolt) to the caster and his or her group. If the caster is not leading the group, it is necessary for the caster to cast this spell at the group leader.

The base bonus is +5 AS/DS, +1 AS/DS per 2 Cleric Base ranks trained beyond 7. The spell's maximum bonus is +15 AS/DS.

Proximity

While the spell initially benefits all members of the cleric's group, proximity to the cleric is necessary to maintain the benefit, as it is the strength of the Cleric's conviction that bolsters their inherent abilities. Mechanically, the game intermittently checks to ensure that a character is in the room with the cleric that initially cast Benediction - if not, the spell expires.
