				 Re: Dispel Question 
 It should, but it doesn't work that way.
 Also, if boosters *did* count, there are a total of a +7 for items that boost Astral that could go onto a caster at any given time (like the demi-lich) with 3 misc slots.
 
 +1 rod, +2 F/S booster (the name eludes me), hat, robe, and 2 of coin/ros/row.  Given that dispell requires 3, while BoT requires 5, that nets you a total of a slight advantage dispelling.
 
 Not that it actually matters, unless that's ever fixed.
