Since I personally believe the spell has to really fill up the area with gunk to be that useful, I think it was fine. Did you warn the wizard's player that his line of sight was obstructed? If you did, no problem.Yes, the Fireball decided the outcome most decisively <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />However, as they say, them's the breaks. That's why most of the time trying to figure out the outcome of a fight is impossible. If you judge only by the outcome, the monk is über-broken <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />When you wrote that the monk was doing d6 damage, was that a typo? 'Cause a level 7 monk is supposed to do d8, and level 8 does d10. Ah, a single level more <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=":)" />You know, I just thought of a "fix" for the monk with this situation. Instead of scaling the damage dealt by a die type, what about a class bonus (like the AC bonus) that rises by level, much less drastically? Keep the base die of d6, but add damage using the same bonus as a high saving throw (i.e. +2 at level 1, to +12 at level 20). That way a basic level 20 monk does d6+12(plus whatever bonuses), which is a better average than d20. And the monk is suddenly a better fighter for it, despite still having only d6 for damage.Also, there would now be a reason for using monk weapons, since the bonus damage would apply to those as well. What do you think?</blockquote>
