Did they nerf bolster spell?

Unless my hotkeys need updating I used a empowered and bolstered magic missile just now and it only did empowered damage, so I just cast bolstered mm by itself next and it was just plain mm.

now it actually applies the 2 damage per dice rolled, rather than 2 per dice...for every caster level. so it was initially bugged and now its working as intended.

I color me stupid but I think I liked it better before

It was amazingly broken on magic missile, specifically, because of how MM interacted with it. Useful, but very much not intended.

Yeah my first playthrough I One Shot everything with Lich MM and thought "wow this mthic really is OP..."

Dude it made being a force mage a legit possibility. Lol it was my whole concept, now it very much does not work.

Agreed they should have made a mythic version that worked like the broken version that used two spell slots, I would have happily paid some sort of price for it.

What what? It's not suppose to add 2 damage per dice rolled?

Isn't that legit what it says it does? What does it actually do? Just add 2 damage? That seems weak as heck.

2 damage per dice makes alot of the spells with alot of dice to roll really good. :|

I think the misconception stems from thinking that magic missile is a roll of multiple dice at the same time while in reality it's different rolls ;) Bolster just works well with spells that have for example 10d6 explicitly written in their descriptions.
