[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7240915, member: 58197"] Yes, because of Empowered Evocation and Jeremy Crawford's ruling (unless it has been changed, it was a while ago) that [I]magic missile[/I] rolls only once and uses the same result for each missile. Your [I]chromatic orb[/I]'s damage roll is 61: 7d8 maximized, +5 for Empowered Evocation. (I assume you have 20 Int at this level, because why on earth wouldn't you?) Then reduce that by whatever the percent chance is for you to miss. You can make that chance quite small if you dump feats and things into it, but the chance remains. Your [I]magic missile[/I]'s damage roll is 10: 1d4+1 maximized, +5 for Empowered Evocation. But then you get seven missiles in your fifth-level slot. So your total damage output is 70. And you never, ever, ever miss. Not that it really matters. Having the best single-target damage output of an evoker is like having the world's fastest three-legged horse. The martial classes are always going to put you in the shade. Mass destruction is where evokers rock the house. [/QUOTE]
