[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7549914, member: 20564"] [FONT=verdana]Lots of fun! Some comments below. If I don't say anything, it's because it's great as it is now. [/FONT] [FONT=verdana][COLOR=#000000] I'm make it an unattended, non-magical object. Just to prevent abuses. "I destroy the straps holding his armor" or "I destroy the cursed dagger". [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] While I'm sure there are times this is best, in general Fire has a lot more resistances and immunities. So I'd be tempted to give a bit more for this one. Maybe all cantrips may do fire damage, but that's pretty wasted if you have EB. Something else thematic, even if just a ribbon ability. The one below about cold damage I have the same comment on. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] This is interesting - it doesn't come up much, but every crit basically goes from roughly x2 damage to roughly x4 damage. Not unbalanced because of how infrequently crits come up plus it's not focus fire. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] 2d10 at 9th level isn't all that great, even if it is an at-will AOE.
