[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8606568, member: 6987520"] Which IMO is part of the problem. While not everything needs to be explicitly spelled or stated out, it would be nice to get a ballpark for some things to compare to others. Consider bright light in 5E D&D: [ATTACH type="full"]155449[/ATTACH] How "bright" is bright light? How many lumens? Bright light basically ranges from the central light of torches and even candles (to a small radius) to full blown day light without a cloud in the sky. That is a vast range of lumens! As per the post upthread how hot is dragonfire? Will it melt stone, steel, or just burn combustible materials? How long does it last. Is a Fireball a burst and then gone? What about the change in air pressure as the area of the fireball is super (maybe?) heated and the cooler air rushes in. Does it have any concussive force? It is more like an "explosion" or just a blast of fire? Of course this is all highly subjective and I know most people wouldn't really care, but some level of information (on which the rest could be inferred) would be nice for an RPG to me. [/QUOTE]
