Default 98F heater pad.

I have had troubles with germination and have started looking for answers as to why peppers and Toms take so long, or not at all.
In the past I took a paper towel, wet it, placed the seeds in the middle, folded once, placed inside a baggie with a small amount of air, then placed it on a small heater pad. It's only 17 watt so I'm surprise at the result.
Today I slipped a thermometer under the baggie and found 98F.
Is this too high? Am I screwing the germination?
