[QUOTE="jabberwocky, post: 55796, member: 2929"] > 2) Nicer way: "If this spell is extended, in all rounds after the second round, the spell inflicts 3d6 points of cold damage." The idea would be that the spell can only achieve a certain degree of coldness. i like this interpretation. you dont have to make a singular exception to extend spell, and 69d6 isnt nearly as abusive as 300d6 :). still not sure what to do about greater creeping cold - its respectable (21d6 over 6 rounds), but still seems placed a bit high, maybe because you have to be 20th level to get that effect. maybe ill just take out the additional level requirements, since creeping cold isnt level dependent either, and just make it 6 rds, up to 6d6. hmmm... so if you double extend gcc to 9th youd get 21d6+36d6+36d6=93d6 if it was five rds its 15d6+25d6+25d6 = 65d6 four becomes considerably less since theyre both 9th level spells, they should be somewhat comparable - but theyre doing differnet amounts of damage per round as well... gcc extended (if its 5rds) 2x = 65d6 over 15 rds cc extended 7x = 69d6 over 24 rds sorry, now im just amusing myself with the math [/QUOTE]
