PROOF that Empower Spell should not be allowed to stack with itself!

[Anubis]

As for how meteor swarm works: The meteors from meteor swarm must burst in one of the patterns detailed in the book - it's not like you get to toss 4 (or 8) separate meteors to completely separate areas of the battlefield. So they really all go down the same line.

It's probably easiest to picture the meteors as going in a straight line to the 'center' of the burst pattern and spreading out from there, like some kind of magical MIRV warhead. That's the simplest eway to picture it and it fits the spell's description. Draw a line from you to the spell's 'point of origin', and if anyone is on that line, they take the 24d6 damage.

The part that is unclear to me is that the spell says if the spheres reach their destination they explode, which makes me wonder if they go away after hitting a single target and doing their 24d6 (no save).

Since those two already beat me to the errata . . .

Thanks about Meteor Swarm, I get it now. I never thought of the warhead way. That makes things much more simple.

Actually, it does deal 1d6 per level, not 1d8. It's in the errata.

That'll teach me to make sure which copy of the PHB I'm looking at.

EEECHHH!

His whole post reads like that crazy

Time Cube Website.

I'm going to sue you for permanent brain damage for linking that site. I thought I was warped before, but that very nearly made me snap.

Rule zero man, rule zero.

What's your point?

What's your point?

He may not have one, he's already admitted to having been twisted by Time Cube.

I find this thread highly amusing, and I have nothing constructive to offer other than this: take everything you read on the web with a grain of salt, including "insults." You can't translate tone or intent over a messageboard post, so it doesn't pay to be thin-skinned. ENWorld is the tamest messageboard I read, and I'm glad this is so. I need a relaxing place to wind down after doffing my flame-retardent suit

This EverQuest rant board makes ENWorld look like the mecca of enlightenment and understanding. Take that for what it's worth

Good to see that you cleared up the little argument yourselves, folks.

Hmm... kreynolds, I think that your feats, while certainly funny, can seem to be a bit rude if posted without much explanation (unless the person you're suggesting them to was present when you created them, of course ). So it might be good to be a bit careful with how you present them.

True. But, there's only so much I can compensate for. You know, that whole "walking on eggshells thing". I think, more than anything, my timing was off. It's better to post stuff like that when someone isn't already really upset.

*nods* I think you're right; timing probably is the most important factor to consider...
