Default Re: Some questions from a newbie

About the modding spreadsheet: Cloud of Death for example is listed in-game as AOE 9+. That means nine squares, not a radius of nine. (Too bad.) If you look at the modding spreadsheet, it has a value (if I recall correctly) of 1002 in the AOE column. This means 1 square, plus 2 per level in the primary path (Death), which works out to 9 squares at the minimum level for casting it (4D). A 9D caster would have an AOE of 19, and since the damage is 5001 he would do 14 points of AN damage. There's an MR check, but since he is 5 levels over the check is penalized by 2. (I love that spell!)

Does that help you see how to read it? There's a README also that explains more.
