[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6686889, member: 2011"] The extra damage of Sunbeam is not the umph I am talking about. Nor does Daylight give a saving throw. The "I cannot use Misty Escape so I die", "I cannot regenerate" is the umph I am talking about. Sunbeam is a 6th level spell. It should do more damage than a 3rd level spell. But the real issue is that 4 or 5 prepped PCs of level 5 can wipe out a CR 13 (deadly encounter) vampire, pretty much at ease. A Charm Person or some such might swing the tide of battle, but Daylight makes this a lot easier of a fight. At least this happened in our game (although we had 6 5th level PCs at the time). The party was struggling until the Daylight spell was cast. For this discussion, yes, it would be fine to houserule Daylight with a saving throw for this type of thing, especially for Clerics and Paladins. But also for this discussion, I think that RAI and RAW is that Daylight does not hinder vampires and other sunlight sensitive creatures. [/QUOTE]
