Fiery Burst: Overpowered?

[HeapThaumaturgist]

My 13th level Sorc has the Invisible Needle feat.

Hasn't used it.

I figured it would be a great resource, and I don't regret choosing it, but sorcs in particular get enough spell slots of enough levels that it seems there's ALWAYS a better spell to be cast. It's a nice thing for ambushes or whatever, but you're going to be hard pressed to find it always more useful to use the feat rather than cast a spell.

As a note, the draconic heritage feat that grants a breath weapon for 2d6/spell level sacrificed is pretty darn scary too. You lose the spell, but 4d6 in a 30' cone is pretty sweet at 3rd level.

My wife's character has that feat.

It totally rocks out - it's so much fun.

What's the range on this Fiery Burst feat?

 

[Nail]

5ft radius burst at a range up to 30 feet.

 

[Nail]

+1d6 fire (Ref for half) of the highest fire spell you have available to cast.

Not bad........

...but I'd be tempted to get Acidic Splatter instead, as there's apt to be fewer creatures with that type of Energy Resistance.

Nail, you still trying to get your post count up after the crash?

 

[Crothian]

It isn't bad, but 30 feet is kind of close for casters.
