Realm of the Fellnight Queen - OOC Discussion

How many squares is the swarm occupying? just figuring for damage potential
Lets say Al start charging up Ice spears right after she launches the blast

[TheTick]

Each swarm is roughly 10ft by 10ft by 10ft in a cube.

[BigbyMichael]

so as a level 6 druid for that area i would get only 1 spear to hit that grid even though it occupies 2 5ft grid squares
(just trying to figure out my spells)

[TheTick]

Right you get one spear, but it can hit a creature twice if it is two squares tall.

[BigbyMichael]

so width wise id get 2 hits, potential max of 50 damage?? since my cold would make it 2d6 +1 cold damage
Ok yeah definitely charging up my ice spear for next turn

[TheTick]

Barring a reflex save for half damage, yup.  Very solid spell.  Surprised I hadn't noticed that one when I made my cold-themed Sorc a while back.

[SteveRogers]

I really have no idea what I could do to be effective here.  I am open to any suggestions.

[TheTick]

I didn't know if you had any of your fire domain spells readied for the day (Burning Hands, Fireball, etc.).

[SteveRogers]

I guess I'm not sure what spells Felix actually knows.  Is it listed on the character sheet somewhere, and I'm just not seeing it?

I've never played a spellcaster before really, so this is new to me.

[TheTick]

Clerics 'know' all spells on their list, but they pick which spells they want to be able to use each day.  In addition to those spells, you have one domain slot for each spell level, and you can fill it with one of the two spells granted by your chosen domains at each level.  It's one of the awesome benefits of certain domains, as you may get spells that aren't normally on the Cleric list.  Like the Fire Domain giving Fireball or the Plant domain granting Entangle.

I'd have no problem assuming Felix would've prepped Burning Hands, Produce Flame, Fireball and Wall of Fire in the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th level domain slots, as the Healing domain options are all Cure spells there and you can convert any of your standard spells to Cures, and you have Channel Energy.

[SteveRogers]

Fireball it is then.

[Phil]

Fireball should be nice for fighting swarms.  Though if you only have one usage of it today, maybe we should try and get the two swarms next to eachother so both are hit?

(Maybe they already are, would need to review the IC thread.) 

[TheTick]

They'd be close enough for overlap.

[TheTick]

what I mean is, one Fireball would overlap both swarms.

[SteveRogers]

Oh, well.  Even better.  :)
