[QUOTE="Nail, post: 3454612, member: 224"] [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3454325&posted=1#post3454325]That's a cool break down of some high level published adventures.[/URL] Thanks again. Are each of those encounter groups an adventure? I'm unfamiliar with the AoW path. (Where's Hong when you need him? :)) There's no question that orbs are great against 1 -2 foe encounters, in which the foes have spell resistance. (Even foes without SR don't get a save, so they are good for those too.) But I think it's just as obvious that an orb is good in larger battles, i.e. the BBEG and his minions. Killing just 1 of 4 opponents for example, or even 1 of 5, makes things a heck of a lot easier for the rest of the party. (And IME, foes at higher level are not nicely grouped for AoE spells.) As I've said before, the Orb spells become more reasonable if you just add SR = Yes. They are still on the nasty side, even with that adjustment, but I'll adjust. [/QUOTE]
