Destruction Spell DC
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2005 10:23 pm
I cast this every now and again and noticed that despite a wisdom of 28 and GSF: Necromancy, my cleric hardly ever killed anyone with this spell.
I checked the feedback window and noticed that sone random creature (a Histachi or Yaun-Ti I think) rolled a Fortitude save of 20 and was sucessful.
By my calculation, the DC of my Destruction spell should be 10+4(GSF:Nec)+7(spell level)+9 (wisdom bonus) for a total of 30. That critter should be smoke! One of the main reasons I took GSF: Nec. was to boost my Destruction spell! If this spell has a set DC of 14 or something I'll be gutted. Could have had Weapon Specialisation: Greatsword instead!
I also noticed that the Massive Halberd of Hate +4 has a higher DC to resist the life drain effect than most weapons (most have DC14). I think the MHH has DC 20.
