[QUOTE="Dorloran, post: 1639249, member: 15748"] This question kind of brought our game Friday to a not-so-friendly halt. A druid was outdoors, casting Call Lightning. The conditions: northern penninsula near a frozen coast, overcast skies, not snowing, but windy due to "lake effect" wind--blowing pretty strongly, but the snow that had fallen for days had cleared, so there was no precipitation--but it is always perpetually overcast and windy there. The spell description reads: If you are outdoors and in a stormy area—a rain shower, clouds and wind, hot and cloudy conditions, or even a tornado (including a whirlwind formed by a djinni or an air elemental of at least Large size)—each bolt deals 3d10 points of electricity damage instead of 3d6. Question: does the druid do 3d6 or 3d10? Does overcast and windy mean "clouds and wind"? At what point does "stormy conditions" become "clouds and wind"? Aren't there always clouds and wind around? And then would the druid always get 3d10 if she casts outdoors? Opinions? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
