[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 295819, member: 1134"] Well considering his party accuretly guaged the power of shout I'd say his logic based on what he and his players did is a much better thing to base logic on than on the supposed logic in your post. Sonic elemental orbs absurdly overpowered, hahahahaha. Please sure creatures get resistences to the other elements, but sonic is so easily nullified, not 5 points taken off the total damge, nullified. If I throw a fireball unless I'm fighting a demon or a red dragon chances are I'll wound it. If I throw some sonic balls at a cleirc or a bard or anyone with access to coutersong or silence spells I'll do nothing. If anything sonic is a much weaker element, considering how common silence spells are as anti mage spells. And really elemental resistences aren't that common and if from a spell they could be vs sonic anyways. Face it shout sucks, oh no he did 2d6 damage to me and I'm deaf for a short while please never cast that big bad 4th level spell again. If magic missile were 4th level I'd almost rather cast that, than this piece of crap of a spell. [/QUOTE]
