Message: <blockquote data-quote="tigycho" data-source="post: 2020123" data-attributes="member: 26604">I thought of that, but I wanted to make sure I didn't do better than Acid Arrow...  the Enchanced MM does its damage all at once, while the extra damage from Acid Arrow happens over time.  Yeah, (assuming you always target a single creature) compared to the original MM, Enhanced Magic Missile does less min, avg and max damage for caster levels 1 thru 10.  I didn't want to make the spell too complicated in decription though, and couldn't come up with a combination of number of missiles, and damage die per missile which would make it strictly better than the original magic missile but roughly equivalent to acid arrow at most levels.Would it help if I posted the spreadsheet?Doing that makes Enchanced strictly better at damage than Acid Arrow at every level, often severely so.  In fact, at some levels, it does as much damage to a single target as Fireball...  I don't know if that is a problem though.Let me crunch some numbers. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />That's a change I think I'll make immediately.  I like that.  <Note:  editing the original post to reflect this advice>Thanks for the feedback.  I am always reluctant to 'invent' spells that are more powerful than anything existing, for fear of being labelled a Munchkin.</blockquote>
