[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 235449, member: 2829"] I didn't intend to misrepresent you. I was simply trying to lump it together. Besides, if I was trying to misrepresent you, believe me, you'd know, or worse, you wouldn't even suspect. ;) You're probably right. You know why you don't see it? Because it's not on that page. In fact, it's not on any of the pages, nor in any of the books. In fact, I didn't even say it was on any page. In fact, I gave you a list of examples of spells where the d6 is the "popular" die to use with direct damage spells, such as those I listed. I can only assume that you didn't catch the edited post in time. If that's the case, no biggie. I already listed them. If you don't agree, that's fine, that's your opinion. You have the right to have your own opinion, as do I have the right to have my own opinion. Once again, I already stated why it's a weakness. Ever been in a tight dungeon corridor fighting a bunch of baddies and the best damaging spell you have is a Fireball? It's a pain to place it safely, especially when your allies are kinda scattered about. It's most certainly a drawback. Sure, when you're talking about an open battlefield and the baddies are conveniently bunched together, waiting to accept your Fireball with open arms, it's not a drawback at all. Like I said, I was just stating my opinion. Obviously, a Fireball that affected only one creature but didn't have any other advantages over a standard Fireball wouldn't be the popular choice. That wasn't a very valid question, and it wasn't well thought out. I'm not catching your meaning here. I think I got lost. :o I don't know. Would you like me to count? Are you forgetting about the Ring of Evasion (which I already mentioned), a very popular magic item that is arguably on just about everyone's equipment wish list? Once again, should I count? Monsters aren't the only things you need to take into account. Don't forget about NPCs, like, oh, I don't know, Rogues or Monks? ;) I don't know. I'm still thinkin' 4th. Like I said, it wasn't my intention to misrepresent your post. So no...no hard feelings. So far, I think your Acid Bolt is in fact a pretty good example. Nice job. :) I do get the feeling that we're cross posting though. :) [/QUOTE]
