[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8870282, member: 18"] I was kind of thinking the same thing but I did the math on a couple of spells, and as they have to be two different, not the same spell twice, I think it'd probably be okay. Like, say 2 1st level spells, you could do Magic Missile and Chromatic Orb, which is 3d4+3+3d8, which sounds cool, but it's a 3rd-level slot, and a 3rd-level spell is something like Fireball doing 8d6 to an area, I think the DM would have to say it was experimental and be prepared to veto any particularly obnoxious combinations that came up though, because we're never going to think of everything unless you pay us a lot of money to go through lol. Hmmmm that said you could do Fireball and Lightning Bolt at the same time for a 7th-level slot, which would be 16d6 to the targets hit by both, more than the 12d6 of an immediately detonated Delayed Blast Fireball, which doesn't seem right (esp. as things can go really wrong with DBF). Maybe it also needs the restriction that only one of the spells can be a damage spell? (Healing is less of an issue - if anything current in-combat healing in 5E is undertuned.) TLDR: Restrict to a max of 1 spell that does damage and don't let them use the same spell twice, whatever it is. [/QUOTE]
