[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6965470, member: 57383"] Yes, I was thinking of modifying the Flash SA to cover it. However I was thinking it'd mean creatures with a [I]darkness[/I] spell between them and the radiance quasi to be shielded (or, rather, "shaded") from the flash. We could achieve that by adding the following paragraph after the first one: Any kind of magical darkness will block the line of effect of a radiance quasi-elemental's flash attack. How about we cover both? If a spellcaster targets a radiance quasi with a Darkness spell the radiance quasi takes X damage per CL but the spell is "cancelled", while if the radiance quasi elemental enters the area of a darkness spell it takes Y damage every round until it leaves or dies? We could have the X and Y vary with spell level, so a 1st-level darkness spell does, say damage = CL as a direct attack or 1 point per round as an ongoing attack, while a 9th level spell does 1d20 per CL. Actually, it would be easier if we keep the dice size manageable and have dice damage caps depending on spell level like is normal for 3E. i.e. a 9th level Darkness spell might do 1d8 or 1d10 per CL (max 25 dice) Something along these lines would cleave pretty well to normal spell damage progression: 0-level: 1d3 (max 1d3) 1st-level: 1d4 per CL (max 5d4) 2nd-level: 1d4 per CL (max 10d4) 3rd-level: 1d6 per CL (max 10d6) 4th-level: 1d6 per CL (max 15d6) 5th-level: 1d6 per CL (max 15d6) 6th-level: 1d6 per CL (max 20d6) 7th-level: 1d6 per CL (max 20d6) 8th-level: 1d8 per CL (max 20d8) 9th-level: 1d8 per CL (max 25d8) [/QUOTE]
