-Reserved for 5th level spells-

It's late and I'm too tired to do them now :P


Kaju

[Amérie Ruath'Il]

thanks. nice post

but I think in DDO burning hands does some more damage then 1d4 per level. but maybe I might be wrong.

[Kaju]

I think it's 1d4 per level, but the starter staff is +20% to 1st level spells damage and there is an enhacement which increases 1st level fire spells by another 20% or 30%.
Generally this is just an indication. I post it more fore the saving throws required. Doing the 2nd level spells at them moment.
