Chain Missiles/sandbox
Chain Missiles | |
Spell | |
Spell LevelSpell level indicates the relative power of a spell, determining when it can normally be acquired by the relevant class(es) of caster. Not to be confused with character level. For example, Fireball lists Sorcerer 3, Wizard 3.: |
Sorcerer 3, Wizard 3 |
---|---|
Spell SchoolEvery spell (optional for SLAs) belongs to one of eight schools of magic, such as Evocation or Necromancy. Optional descriptors, e.g. Fire, Compulsion, are also listed here.: |
Evocation (Force) |
ComponentsEvery spell requires one or more types of components, either Verbal, Somatic, or Material. These are specified using the templates{{V}} , {{S}} , and {{M}} , respectively.:
|
VerbalVerbal: A verbal component is a spoken incantation. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot act or speak. Certain rare spells, such as Silence Creature, may temporarily disable spells that require verbal components., SomaticSomatic: A somatic component is a measured and precise movement of the hand. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot move causing arcane spell failure resulting in a ruined spell. Spells without a somatic component may be used with disregard to Arcane Spell Failure chance. Note - that characters make the same arm gestures for most spells in DDO, so you can't tell which spells require this component by watching your character's animations. |
Spell Point CostThe number of Spell Points used to cast the spell.: |
15 |
MetamagicThe effects of spells and SLAs can often be enhanced using metamagic, a type of toggled feat, for example,{{Maximize}} and {{Heighten}} .:
|
Empower, Enlarge, Maximize, Quicken |
TargetEvery ability has one or more targets, defined as Self, Friend, or Foe. The field may also contain additional information, such as Undead Foe or Breakables. The field is sometimes hidden, e.g., for a passive feat whose target is Self, such as Toughness.: |
Foe |
RangeThe distance at which an active ability can be activated, such as Melee for Cleave, or Double for Nimbus of Light. Typical values are Personal, Melee, Ranged, Touch, Standard (spell), or Double (ray), although any value can be specified. Not to be confused with area. /AreaThe coverage of a spell or effect, such as Single target, Standard AoE, or Conal AoE. Not to be confused with range. For example, both Finger of Death and Fireball have Standard range, but Finger of Death has a Single target area, while Fireball has a Large Spherical AOE. Note that, in contrast to PnP, DDO in-game descriptions often conflate range and area.: |
Standard / Has some AOE, see description |
Saving ThrowThe type of saving throw, if any, that can be used to avert a spell or effect. Common values include Will, Fortitude, Reflex for half, or None.: |
None |
Spell ResistanceWhether spell resistance can avert the spell or SLA, Yes or No.: |
No |
CooldownHow long a character must wait between activations of an ability, typically measured in seconds.: |
3 seconds (Wiz), 2 seconds (Sor) |
DamageThe amount and type of damage inflicted.: |
See description |
Description
A missile of magical energy darts forth and unerringly strikes its target inflicting 1d2+3 force damage. For every 2 caster levels beyond first you gain an additional missile, up to 10 missiles. After striking your target, the missiles explode outwards, striking other creatures near the primary target.
Also note: While the main missile will be blocked by the shield or nightshield spell like standard magic missile, the collateral ones will not be.
See forum discussion for updates.
Bug: Chain Missiles shoots 1 large highly damaging magic missile at your target, which deals around 4 times the force damage of a standard magic missile (1d2+3). Then 10 standard 1d2+3 missiles explode outwards striking randomly at nearby targets. You seem to get all 10 missiles regardless of your caster level. The magic missile damage is verified as 1d2+3.
A possible explanation for the strange behaviour is that the first, extra-powerful magic missile is actually a composite of all the missiles that should be launched, meaning they appear in nearly the same space and look like a single spell. These then move out and hit the secondary targets as intended once they've performed the first strike.
