He isn't a villain and may end up helping the party so it is very important that I balance him so as to not make the game too easy for my PCs. Anyways, I really like a lot of your spells especially Soul Lance but no one has commented on it yet. Personally I feel like 22d12 is a little high for damage as Meteor swarm only deals 20d6 and 20d6 for a total of 240 max damage while Soul Lance can deal a max of 264 and reduces the target (or targets) HP. This seems kind of out of balance to me. I feel like it should deal 18d12 or 20d12 damage instead. Also a line of 65 feet seems like an odd number. Most 5e spells use 60 feet (it's actually a very standard distance for a spell). So what I want to know from everyone else is if anyone else feels like this is a balanced spell or not? I want  to give it to my Necromancer NPC but I'm afraid it is a little broken and needs to be toned down. Anyone have any thoughts on Soul Lance?</p></blockquote><p></p>
