[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 1424915, member: 6562"] Note that 1d4+1 = 1d6 in average damage. So, his spell is exactly like a double Magic Missile (in terms of damage output). IMC, I've house-ruled that Magic Missle caps at 3 missiles (at 5th level). So, one of my players is researching a 3rd level version of the spell (Magic Missile, Improved), which will deal 1d6+1 x 5 missiles. Gravity Warp looks like it wants a Reflex save instead of a Fort. Dodging stuff in changing gravity fields sounds like a job for the quick of hand and eye... that's my gut instinct anyway. If you want a higher-level Fort save spell, look to Necromancy, or see my Sonic spells below. Vacuum Burst is interesting, but I would not allow it IMC. Here's what I allow as an anti-rogue sonic spell: [b]Cacophonic Detonation[/b] Evocation [Air, Sonic] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 20 ft. radius burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes Invoking this spell causes a sonic detonation which damages those caught within its area, dealing 1d6/level (max 10d6) Sonic damage. [b]Cacophonic Detonation, Greater[/b] Evocation [Air, Sonic] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Area: 40 ft. radius burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes Invoking this spell causes a sonic detonation which damages those caught within its area, dealing 1d8/level (max 25d8) Sonic damage. [b]Cacophonic Detonation, Minor[/b] Evocation [Air, Sonic] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 5 ft. radius burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes Invoking this spell causes a sonic detonation which damages those caught within its area, dealing 1d6/2 levels (max 5d6) Sonic damage. -- N [/QUOTE]
