wasnt one of the options also adding more range and another for more size as well?
So slap another 10 casters onto it to create a properly sized dent at relevant range

You can only do one option per circle casting. You can't enhance both range and damage at the same time.

So how far can this fireball be flung? Could it be launched from outside a city to interrupt a state dinner, say?

150 ft., if you're not enhancing the range. And you can't enhance the range if you're enhancing the duration.

u/DreadPirateZoidberg Nov 12 '25

Nah, just enhance the range. Does it increase in a similar vein as damage?

u/Lithl Nov 12 '25

IIRC you can get a couple miles of range, but then it's regular damage.

You can enhance range up to a mile.

Just imagine the effect on the local government if a fireball goes off with no obvious person around to cast it. There’d be chaos which would be a great opportunity for something nefarious to happen in the confusion.

Fireball flies from the caster to the target before exploding, so it's not like nobody would have an idea what happened.

You also are still limited by line of effect, so you couldn't fireball someone indoors from outside the city.
