For 5x5 creatures, the potential is half of what was listed I believe, at 1,440 damage.
It's trivially easy to prove that you can affect less than 48 squares. Make the line go 24 squares in one direction and one square orthagonal, like in the attached picture (but longer). It'll only affect 24 squares, plus maybe some more around the end-points.Coredump said:Going from the intersection straight down a line, or at a 45 degree angle, either will affect 48 squares, not just 24. hence the 2880. (I believe you willl always affect 48 squares,regardless of angle, but I'm not positive.)
