[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8481991, member: 2629"] Putting aside the misread: I consider this a strong spell, but it has issues. Area: 30 foot cone requires you to be up close, and isn't that big of an area compared to a fireball. Saving Throw: Constitution save is one of the worst out there. On a successful save,, the enemy will take 1/2 of 3d8 - or about 6 cold damage. Damage type: It deals cold, which is one of the most resisted. Weak allies are awesome: If the creature has a weak ally, that weak ally can free them using an action. Still - the capability to deny a reasonably sized group movement until an action is sacrificed is strong when it works out. If I were to rewrite the spell, I'd up the damage to 3d10 because it will be well resisted. I'd also make the area difficult terrain for 1 minute. I like this spell for flying PCs as it is a good way to put other flyers on the ground, and many flyers are not as durable as grounded creatures. [/QUOTE]
