Dnd Spells: Meteor Swarm

Meteor Swarm is a level 9 Evocation spell for Sorcerer and Wizard. Casting Time is 1 action Range is 1 mile Requires a Verbal and Somatic Component Duration is Instantaneous.

Blazing orbs of fire plummet to the ground at four different points you can see within range. Each creature in a 40-foot-radius Sphere centered on each of those points makes a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 20d6 Fire damage and 20d6 Bludgeoning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature in the area of more than one fiery Sphere is affected only once.

A nonmagical object that isn't being worn or carried also takes the damage if it's in the spell's area, and the object starts burning if it's flammable.

God, Orym bringing Dorian back to consciousness, holding him and telling him he needs him, only for him to immediately go down right in front of Dorian... That was rough.

I've been enjoying how Brennan seems to be using the limited format of the EXU series to explore game balance scenarios that are interesting but untenable for the average long-term campaign.

What if you faced a CR 40 challenge but everyone at the table is literally a god? What if you have wildly unbalanced abilities, so you can deal 300 damage easily but you only have a normal set of hit points? What can you do if you're guaranteed to pass almost any skill check? What if the table isn't even level 1 yet, but they have access to artifacts of enormous power meant for level 15 characters? How do you play tactics for these challenges? How does the DM plan for them?

Notable interesting examples include the DM's failure to quite plan for what a 20th-level wizard can do, meaning that the intended imbalance of the "unshackling the god's power" scenario was far more short-lived than intended. On the converse, the players have had some pretty fun tactics: see Ashley rolling a 60 to persuade a construct to abandon its programming, or Matt looking at his character sheet and smartly deciding his artifact-level siege weapon would be much better applied using the terrain to cause damage for him, rather than walking up to the enemies and whacking them with it.

No, her point was, we should fight her right now, in the heart of Whitestone, risking everyone's lives here and now, rather than taking a risk that her dubious help will at some point bite us in the ass. All the choices were bad. Her choice would have sucked and killed thousands of people too (more people imho, and they wouldn't have been soldiers, they would have been civilians, children). She isn't willing to see that. Raishan has meteor swarm, she would have leveled Whitestone into a crater. The BABY dragons killed hundreds in Whitestone in the animated series (didn't happen in the campaign). Imagine what she would have done, even if they managed to kill her, everyone civilian would've been dead too.

Now I'm using my knowledge of the campaign here as well which is perhaps unfair of me if you haven't seen it, but nah, Raishan helped more than just that bit at the end. But even just using what happened in the animated universe, keeping the fight away from Whitestone was a good call.

Uuuugh Keyth I love you girl but you're so fucking annoying sometimes. Literally everyone agreed with you about Raishan being a tricky bitch who was eventually going to stab the group in the back. They just also saw the necessary evil in a temporary alliance with her. Geeze Louise.

Everyone was like, "Yeah no this is gonna suck later, she's a dragon, this is totally going to end in death, but we're in a terrible situation with no perfect choices and we need to make hard decisions" and what Keyleth heard was "No Keyleth, you are wrong, trust Raishan, it'll be fine, shut up."

No one listens to me! I told you she was going to betray us!!! Yeah, we know, WE AGREED WITH YOU!!!
