Message: <blockquote data-quote="Faolyn" data-source="post: 8136125" data-attributes="member: 6915329">The poster formerly known as Jessica W. here...The DMG says that the average damage for a 3rd-level spell that deals damage to multiple creatures is 6d6. Fireball and lightning bolt were made to be 8d6 solely because they are sacred cows (so is magic missile, which was also upped in the sense that you get to shoot off three missiles at 1st level instead of one). So scaling back fireball and lightning bolt only brings them in line with the rest of the spells. I doubt LU is going to nerf other spells.I would guess--having not seen what LU is actually planning here--that you can attempt to make a Sleight of Hand check to conceal a spell that has the Seen component, and perhaps make some other sort of check to whisper a spell that has the Vocalized component, which you don't need to do with a Still or Silent spell. I would also assume that the DC would depend on the level, with the idea that higher-level spells require more grandiose components.I would make it like with giving out magic items to PCs. If you are building a character of X level, the DM could say that you could have a certain number of rare spells. Otherwise, you get the basic spells.Since sorcerers can already get named spells (Abi-Dalzim's horrid wilting, Sniloc's snowball swarm, etc.), there shouldn't be anything stopping one from casting Ravjahani’s blackfire either. Assume that sorcerers aren't actually casting Ravjahani’s blackfire; they're manipulating necrotic energies in a way that mimics the wizard spell of the same name.Presumably it's just because it's hella annoying to have to look at a spell and then look through all the class spell lists to figure out if it's castable by a certain class. I doubt that LU is going back to different spells casting it at different levels.</blockquote>
