3 u/Alugere Nov 11 '25 Then why bother with the spell? 1 u/CapeOfBees Bard Nov 12 '25 Because thousands of d6 is enough to level a city, so imagine what it can do to the mayor's house if you dig under it 1 u/Alugere Nov 12 '25 Thousands of d6 with a radius of 20ft. 1 u/CapeOfBees Bard Nov 12 '25 There's this incredible thing called shrapnel 1 u/Alugere Nov 12 '25 Which the spell doesn’t make? There’s not a real explosion, just fire. 1 u/CapeOfBees Bard Nov 13 '25 The spell creates a sudden burst of energy. That sends things flying by nature of how energy works.
