[QUOTE="Amator, post: 304505, member: 6579"] [b]Spellfire Smackdown[/b] First of all, I didn't see a current Smackdown thread on the first 2 pages in the General RPG Discussion, D&D Rules, and House Rules Forums and I can't search the forums. Moderators can take any action necessary to copy&paste, delete, etc if this is in some kind of violation. After reading the archived Sultans of Smackdown thread, I wanted to join the club. This one isn't too intricate, but it seems to work. Please point out any holes. Without further ado... Spellfire Smackdown Theory: Max out Constitution for most spellfire energy levels to explode into huge maelstrom of fire/Increased Storage Backfire. Dwarven Monk 5/Barbarian 1/Spellfire Channeler 10 Constitution 18base 2 dwarf 3 level gains 5 Inherant from Manual of Bodily Health 4 Barbarian Rage 6 Enhancement Bracers of Health ---- 38 Constitution x 5(Increased Storage)= 190 Maximum Spellfire Energy Levels This Raiden-esqe monk arrived at the Smackdown immediately after catching some rays at a nearby magedual to charge up the batteries. Assuming he can make his per round will saves (with monk saves and a good wisdom score this shouldn't be too much trouble at DC 10) he tumbles to within 15' of his foe. He can only voluntarily expend a number of spellfire levels equal to his constitution, so if he hits with a Maelstrom of Fire it does 228 maximum damage on a failed save. This is nice, and meets the limits for a smackdown, but if he decides to voluntarily fail his save, he is forced to expel a maximum strength blast of energy at a random target within 30 feet, which would be a fun 1140 points of spellfire damage on a failed save. (ONLY 570 with a failed save). I'm sure there are many more ways to buff his constitution(perhaps the shocker lizard/shambling mound combo?) and raise the payoff, but I don't have the library of rule books to truly min/max this concept.
