@OmgdestroyedAlso noticed that Thunderwave gains +d8/spell level, while Burning Hands only gains +d6/spell level. Thunderwave wins later on. yes, it's a little weird but judged to be easier than swapping die types at higher levels

Magic Missile, three missiles, three targets: Separate damage rolls, or once for all of them?
@OmgdestroyedMagic Missile, three missiles, three targets: Separate damage rolls, or once for all of them? What about a 2-1 missile split? one damage roll per target

Brute bugbear
@doug_justice I’m running the LMoP (loving it!) and the Bugbear picked up a greatsword. With his Brute ability, would he do 3d6 or 4d6? 3d6

Can you crit with a spell?
@A_real_geekCan you crit with a spell (assuming it has an attack-roll)? Rules seems to indicate that you can. #dnd yes, you can

Wizards have insane damage (Meteor Swarm). Will other classes, like Fighters, be able to keep up?
@khelthrosI see… Wizards have insane damage (Meteor Swarm). Will other classes, like Fighters, be able to keep up? yes – compare meteor swarm's 40d6 to 8 attacks from a fighter using action surge. Fighter can easily get up to 140 damage

The overchannel ability for wizards. Can it be used to max cantrip damage?
@khelthrosThe overchannel ability for wizards. Can it be used to max cantrip damage? At no cost as well, since it’s a 0 level spell? as written, yes, but i'd house rule it to increase the damage by 1d12
