[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8177970, member: 6855114"] From what I can see in the poll, most answers are around 3rd to 5th level spells. That was to be expected. I suspect that those that went for higher levels currently have a high level campaign and that is great! Most campaigns end at or around level 11-12 and seeing people actually going higher lightened my heart as I love to DM high level campaigns. So many surprises from both the players and the monsters and the design decisions required into making them is no small feat, believe me. It is not easy. But for most people, 3rd level spells are the place where casters (even divine ones) can really get deadly. A simple fire ball hits an area of 50 squares of 5'x5'. That is 50 medium sized opponents. This is quite terrifying if you think about it. Even the lightning bolt has a chance of killing up to 20 opponents (ok, they all must be in a single file...) but since the lightning bolt no longuer bounce back, it can be easier to use than a fire ball. (I wish they had kept the 10 feet wide variety for half the range in 5th edition. Maybe I should introduce it back...). [/QUOTE]
