[QUOTE="AnotherGuy, post: 9804672, member: 7029930"] Interesting proposal Let us run through 3 examples [B][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]FIREBALL[/COLOR] 1e-2e method[/B] 5th level wizard casts 3rd level spell Fireball - 8d6 6th level - 9d6 8th level - 11d6 10th level - 13d6 15th level - 18d6 [B]variant 5e, increase potency on upcast[/B] wizard casts 3rd level spell Fireball - 8d6 4th level spell - 10d6 5th level spell - 12d6 6th level spell - 14d6 7th level spell - 16d6 9th level spell - 18d6 [B][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]ICE STORM[/COLOR] 1e-2e method[/B] 7th level wizard cast 4th level spell Ice Storm - 2d8 bludgeoning + 4d6 cold 8th level - 3d8 bludgeoning + 4d6 cold 10th level - 5d8 bludgeoning + 4d6 cold 15th level - 10d8 bludgeoning + 4d6 cold 20th level - 15d8 bludgeoning + 4d6 cold [B]variant 5e, increase potency on upcast[/B] 7th level wizard cast 4th level spell Ice Storm - 2d8 bludgeoning + 4d6 cold 5th level spell - 4d8 bludgeoning + 4d6 cold 6th level spell - 6d8 bludgeoning + 4d6 cold 7th level spell - 8d8 bludgeoning + 4d6 cold 9th level spell - 10d8 bludgeoning + 4d6 cold [B][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]CONE OF COLD[/COLOR] 1e-2e method[/B] 9th level wizard cast 5th level spell Cone of Cold - 8d8 10th level - 9d8 13th level - 12d8 15th level - 14d8 18th level - 17d8 20th level - 19d8 [B]variant 5e, increase potency on upcast[/B] 9th level wizard cast 5th level spell Cone of Cold - 8d8 6th level - 10d8 7th level - 12d8 8th level - 14d8 9th level - 16d8 One should really be doing this exercise on an excel worksheet to see if there are any issues with any of the spells. The 1e-2e method is obviously better. Hopefully I haven't made too many mistakes. [/QUOTE]
