Firebrand spell (MaoF)

[Hypersmurf]

I don't own the book, but we just got hit with this spell... is there a damage cap? And is there really no save, no fire resistance?

firebrand - save: Refl half; spell resistance: yes; maximum damage: 15d6 per each mass of flames (one mass (5 ft radius burst) per level

Hmm.

I was slightly mistaken... we did get saves, but SR didn't apply, and Fire Immunity / Endure Elements (Fire) didn't affect the damage.

And someone took 82 points, which is either a damned high 15d6, or there's an Empower or two on it.

Of course, the fact that it's being cast by an artifact might have something to do with it... :-\

-Hyp.

 

[Hypersmurf]

Ulch. Yeah, the artifact is what's doing it. Negates SR and ER, raises the damage cap, raises the save DC.

Ow.

-Hyp.

Figit has it right

Oh, an important note too: the 5ft bursts can overlap but the damage does not stack from the two-bursts...

Hmmm, must be a custom spell from a custom artifact then Hyper cuz those effects are definately not in firebrand, heh. (SR applies and it is fire damage so resistances kick in too).
