Description

This functions as lightning bolt, except as noted in this entry.

This spell deals 1d6 electricity damage per caster level (max 6d6 at 6th level). This spell deals an additional 2d6 electricity damage (which can go beyond its normal 6d6 maximum) against the closest target from the spell’s origin.

Author’s Note: With lightning bolt having a much worse shape than fireball, I think it deserves a discounted version. See also: Vector Shock for an electric spell intended to compete with fireball.

Scheduling: Please reply to scheduling messages ASAP. It does not have to be a yes/no immediately, but if it’s a maybe, you should at least give a reason why it’s a maybe. Preferably with an ETA of when you’ll get better information. If a player fails to show up to a session 2 or more times without good reason, they may be removed from the game. Character Motivations: Regardless of the PCs alignment and personality, I want them to cooperate with each other. For smoothness, I want the party to always be on the same map and to actively help each other during combat. The characters’ motivations must therefore be aligned, at least until the end of a chapter. If character motivations are misaligned, the minority half may have a separate session, or become NPCs until they realign. Roleplay:...
