[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9508999, member: 57383"] Okay, let's figure out the details then. Might as well do them in order. How's this: [INDENT] [I][B]Invoked Inferno (Recharge 5–6).[/B][/I] A point within ## feet of the efreeti firelord blossoms into an inferno. Every creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point is affected. The inferno spreads around corners, igniting flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried. The firelord chooses one of the following effects. [B]Concussive Inferno.[/B] Each creature in the sphere must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution saving throw or take ## (#d#) bludgeoning plus ## (#d#) fire damage and be stunned until the end of their next turn. On a successful save, they take half as much damage and are not stunned. [B]Incinerating Inferno.[/B] Each creature in the sphere must succeed on a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw or take ## (#d#) fire damage and catches fire; until someone takes an action to douse the fire, the creature takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns. On a successful save, they take half as much damage and do not catch fire. [/INDENT] We just need to decide on some figures for the ##s. The firelord's Invoked Inferno has the same DEX save DC as the fire breaths of an [b][url='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/dragon-brass-ancient']Ancient Brass Dragon[/url][/b] [90 foot range and 56 (16d6) fire damage], an [b][url='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/dragon-gold-adult']Adult Gold Dragon[/url][/b] [60 foot range and 66 (12d10) fire damage] or an [b][url='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/dragon-red-adult']Adult Red Dragon[/url][/b] [60 foot range and 63 (18d6) fire damage]. Giving the Invoked Inferno something along those lines would work for me. So maybe 60 foot range and 66 (12d10) fire damage for the Incinerating Inferno? It'll likely actually be 71½ (13d10) fire damage since the target's going to be on fire at 1d10 extra damage per round, remember! The Concussive Inferno is a bit trickier. I'd have it do significantly less damage than the incinerating version as the stunning effect is quite powerful. Maybe 21 (6d6) bludgeoning plus 21 (6d6) fire damage? [/QUOTE]
