[QUOTE="Andreagoma, post: 6666727, member: 6671719"] First of all hi to everybody. I'm not native english so forgive me for spelling and grammar :) I'm not new to D&D and RPG in general, started in mid 80s, but I'm new to 5th ED. So far this looks like a solid edition and me and my group, yes I'm the DM, are enjoying it. Reading the rules, especially the spells section, I noticed something weird about some spells, and 'cause it seems I can't figure out what it is I decided to ask the community :D If I look at spells like Fireball or Lightning Bolt these spells do 8d6 of damage as 3rd level spells, damage increase if cast with higher slots. Spells like Flame Strike (5th level) or Circle of Death (6th level) do the same damage. What am I missing? Why does these high level spells do the same damage as lower level spells? All of them allow saving throw to half, are instantaneous, have different AoE but that's normal. Thanks in advance for answers. [/QUOTE]
