Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vaeron" data-source="post: 145529" data-attributes="member: 3956">A workable solution might be just to make the dmg 1d6 per round, non cumulative.  This makes more sense for a second level spell anyway.  Since metamagic feats, even of the same type, are stackable (according to the official FAQ), piling a number of extends to 9th level on Creeping Cold at non-cumulative 1d6 over 24 rounds would result in a total of a 24d6 (average 84) dmg instead of a total of  300d6 (average 1050 dmg) using the cumulative rules.  In fact, using the rules as written with 7 extends would require a save against instant death for 50+ damage each round after the 13th or so.My solution: 1d6 a round.  Makes it less desireable at later levels where you get instant kill type spells, but compared to magic missile or even fireball, which have definite caps, this sounds about right.V</blockquote>
