[QUOTE="ren1999, post: 4980055, member: 85179"] I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve this. The spells I was designing did increase damage by 1 dice every 5 levels but the characters were really decimating the monsters. Now one damage dice is added every 10 levels. 1st, 11th, and 21st level. Other suggestions for scalability?
