Sultans of Smack

[Darkness]

Sultans of Smack and similar threads tend to go in Rules; I'll move you there.

BTW, if you want, I can merge this thread with the Sultans of Smack one (which also will bring that thread on top again, given that threads are - normally - sorted by last post).

Re: Spellfire Smackdown

Thanks, I'd appreciate that.

He's 16th level, so couldn't he get one more stat increase?

Wouldn't a "maximum strength blast" still only be 38d6? IIRC, you can't (ever, even if you fail a will save) spend more than your Con in Spellfire levels per round.

D'oh, forgot about that one, thanks!

Magic of Faerun, pg 40

"Regardless of the number of spellfire energy levels stored, a channeler can voluntarily expend only a number of spellfire energy levels per round equal to her Constitution score. (Involuntary expenditure, such as that noted above<refers to Maximum Blast Backfire> isn't limited in this way).

Being that the Backfire is not voluntary, I think I am correct in saying you can apply each spell level. I still could be wrong, or there might be errata though.

You are correct. Backfire is both an advantage and a drawback. You could toast your enemy, or you could fry your buddy. Kinda risky.

Done!

As a friend of mine and I are going to co-DM Return to Tomb of Horror as a pseudo-tournament with pregenerated 20th level characters, I would like to add my appreciation for the Sultans of Smack.
