^ Assume 2 creatures targeted with either a spell attack (66% hit) or a saving throw (reduced by 25% to 75%) use average of 70%
* Cantrips only ever affect 1 creature
It is assumed a damaging spell:
- targets 2-3 creatures (10' radius) or 1 target for 2-3 rounds
- has a saving throws (which on average reduce damage by 25%)
It will do the damage equivalent one level higher than its level if:
- Only a single target for 1 round
- a spell attack/roll to hit is required (assumes 66% hit)
It will do the damage equivalent one level lower than its level if:
- Affects 4+ characters (35' diameter)
- Targets 1 creature for 4+ rounds
- is a battlespell/reaction spell (free action)
Minor modifiers that increase a spells effects
- has additional effects
Standard diameters for area are shown below. Assume number of targets is proportional to the squareroot of the area
Rectangles
80' x 5' = 400 sq ft assume 3 targets
40' x 10' = 400 sq ft assume 3 targets
Circles (diameter)
80' = 5027 sq ft assume 14 targets (14")
34' = 908 sq ft assume 6 targets (6")
27' = 573 sq ft assume 5 targets (5")
17' = 255 sq ft assume 3 targets (3")
Cone (Truncated)
55' x 25° = 660 sq ft assume 5 targets
45' x 16° = 283 sq ft assume 3 targets
26' x 90° = 506 sq ft assume 4 targets
13' x 90° = 123 sq ft assume 2 targets
