Flame Strike (spell)

Flame Strike

Range	60 ft.
Duration	1 round
Area of Effect	10 ft. circle, 30 ft. high
Casting Time	2 rounds
Saving Throw	reduces 50%
Level	cleric (5th)

Calls a spire of flame to descend from above and explode within the spell’s area of effect, causing 6d8 damage +1d4 per level of the cleric above 9th. Thus, a 13th level cleric would cause 6-48 damage +4d4.

Creatures who make their saving throws will suffer half the damage determined by the dice—fractions are disregarded.

The fire lasts for 12 continuous seconds, and all materials and items within the flame strike must make save vs. normal fire. Flammable objects, regardless of their thickness, will alight as a group with a 5% probability per level of the caster — unless the caster pronounces prior to the flame strike that he or she wishes this probably reduced to 1% per level.

The flame strike will take effect indoors, but this doubles the likelihood of combustion.
