[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3457944, member: 29014"] This isn't a math class, though. If I say: "I'm using X, which does Y average damage" it isn't hard to check if you think the number is way off. And if you don't think Connie is insane against the Dragon, that's fine. The Orbs will be fine in your actual game if those numbers look okay to you, I guarantee it. When it comes to my game, I think the numbers I have here are horrible and make the game less fun if they should ever occur. However, as far as I know, your current argument is the only valid one that exists for claiming the Orbs are balanced without SR--that is "I understand that this spell does massive damage on average, allowing two characters to end a BBEG that is CR = character level + 9 (and one character can do this if optimised more), but since it's single target, this isn't overpowered in my game." I respect that argument, and it is perfectly valid. What an onlooker who is unsure about Orb balance needs to do, then, is decide if her game is more like yours or mine, and that will help her decide what to do about Orbs. [/QUOTE]
