Newbie ?? re: Spell Damage

[Kristoffer O]

As Arralen says + means higher dmg with higher lvl. THe amount varies from spell to spell, but is about +1 for spells with dmg 1-10, +2 for spells with dmg 10-20. Some spells have higher bonuses, but that is rare (thunder strike IIRC and banefire). In the case of fatigue dmg it might be +5 / lvl (ghost grip).

Thanks for the explanations!

[Zooko]

So, is it +3 for spells with dmg 20-30?

[FarAway Pretender]

Cool! Thank you so much for the clarification(s)!! Really does help me a lot, and also affects the spells I'll be casting going forward (with some of my spellcasters, at least!).

[Zooko]

Yeah, I just decided that my 9-Fire, 9-Astral Flaming Head Baphomet really ought to cast Power of the Spheres, Phoenix Power, Summon Fire Elemental, Luck, Holy Pyre.

Don't tell Argitoth.

[archaeolept]

ooh, also check astral fires...

and living fire, the mass elemental spell, would give you 11 elementals...

[Zooko]

Those are way too advanced for my simple-minded nation of campaigning religious fanatics.

Also Astral Fires doesn't have "+" damage, and magic resistance negates. Bleah. Oooh, but I see that the area of effect has a "+" on it. Cool. If my mages ever get tired of throwing themselves into battle and decided to do some research, we'll look into that.

Oooh! So that's what you have. Lucky I didn't start next to you. You must have really kick *** flagellents!
