[QUOTE="Liquidsabre, post: 2686291, member: 15635"] Thanks Mistwell, I'm playing an Evoker so [I]scorching ray[/I] was the second evocation I picked up! I just gave those Orb spells a good look over and I'm definately going to have to pick a few of those up. Wow, I had no idea the orb spells ignored SR! A nice series of conjuration spells. Yea, absolutely agree there. I ended up selecting both Sudden Widen and Sudden Maximize. Got to play last night and I was surprised at the level of power I got from these 1/day use feats, being able to use them on my highest level spells and all. We just started running through the RttToEE module and I have to say being able to select from maximizing a [I]scorching ray[/I], [i]flaming sphere[/i], or a [i]shocking grasp[/i] 1/day on-the-fly and widening a [i]burning hands[/i], [i]grease[/i], [i]glitterdust[/i], or a [i]web[/i] spell 1/day on-the-fly to be quite handy! Yea that's what I got out of the reading of the spell myself, but my DM thought that it was a little funny since the sphere is 5-ft diameter. There isn't any room for getting out of it's way, but then again the spell does have a Reflex save for no damage, who knows how creatures manage to dodge this ball of flame that fills the entire 5-ft square. That's magic for ya. I figure, for psuedo-realisms sake, it has something to do with the spongy nature of the flaming sphere and/or that only the exterior of the sphere is a-flame and that there is a hollow, though toasty, center. :p Though a flaming sphere wouldn't damage anyone moving through the square, would it still set flammables a-light? As per the text: [COLOR=SandyBrown]"It ignites flammable substances it touches..."[/COLOR]. Would this set clothing on fire for creatures passing through the sphere? Thanks everyone for all your help on this! [/QUOTE]
