Message: <blockquote data-quote="Technik4" data-source="post: 869438" data-attributes="member: 7211">Sigh. Ok magic missle is an awesome spell. It is quite possibly the benchmark of the most power a 1st level wizard spell should have.Your spell has the following advantages over magic missle:Can be taken by the sorc, I mean mystic class which can also take healing spells and gets progression as fast as a wizard.Does +1 damage per miss, I mean bolt to a maximum of 5 more damage at 10th level. 5 more damage than the most powerful first level wizard/sorc spell.Has a chance to stun the target, which basically combines a weak color spray effect with the damage.Your spell features the following "disadvantages":Only affects evil or undead things.Requires a ranged touch attack.Ok, how are you not seeing the overpoweredness here? Are you comparing this spell to the ones in Tome and Blood? Because all of those are elemental and many creatures have elemental resistances (or immunities). They also have a 1d8 damage, meaning they can only do 1 damage sometimes (but otherwise is equal damage to your spell). They also suffer a Fort for half damage, and do not have an additional stunning effect. Conclusion: your spell may be very overpowered.Oh, and for the record, here is the comparison to knife spray and soundburst:Knife Spray: Cone, 1d6+5 damage, reflex halfSoundburt: 10 ft radius spread, 1d8 damage+stun, will partial (always does 1d8 damage).The damages come out the same, as reflex is the easiest save to avoid, soundburst still has the stun. This is another sign that your spell is overpowered to the plane of negative energy and back.Technik</blockquote>
