Looking for Spell Chart

[shawnvw]

I'm looking for a chart, spreadsheet, or database of Wizard/Sorcerer spells that includes DC and Spell Resistance for each spell.


Mainly I'm looking to choose the best attacks. Bonus points if there are columns that signify damage (number of dice, plus regular vs DoT), single-target vs. AoE, and similar info.

The problem is variables.

Using Finger of Death as an example.

The target must make a fortitude save. That is not a set number, each creature will have its own fortitude number.

If you are a wizard you add 10 + spell lvl + your intelligence modifier + gear bonuses + feat bonuses to determine your DC. So again the DC is not a set number, each wizard will have their own DC.

Spell resistance is also not a set number. Each creature will have their own spell resistance and each wizard will have their own number for overcoming it.

I guess someone could devise a chart using an example caster and an example target, that could give you a ballpark figure, but that would be for one creature and wouldn't apply in many ways/instances throughout the game.

Oh, gosh, no. That's not what I'm asking for. That would be a lot of work!

I meant what type of a saving throw does the target -- Fort, Ref, Will, or None -- and does the target get a Spell Resistance check, yes or no?

Plus, like I said, is the spell single target vs area, regular damage or DoT, how much damage, etc.

Well, while not an exhaustive chart, this may help...

Single Target Direct Damage (direct damage never has SR in DDO)
Eladar's Electric Surge (level 5, no save)
Niac's Biting Cold (level 5, no save)
Disintegrate (level 6, Fort save, Transmutation)
Polar Ray (level 8, no save)
Black Dragon Bolt (level 8, no save)

AoE Persistent Direct Damage
Ice Storm (level 4, no save)
Wall of Fire (level 4, irrelevant Reflex save on 1/15th of ticks)
Acid Rain (level 4, potentially relevant Reflex save on 1/3rd of ticks, Conjuration)

Single Target Instant Kills (spell-based instant kills always have SR in DDO)
Phantasmal Killer (level 4, Fort and Will saves, Illusion)
Finger of Death (level 7, Fort save, Necromancy)
Trap the Soul (level 8, Will save, Conjuration)
Power Word, Kill (level 9, no save)

Multi Target Instant Kills
Circle of Death (level 6, Reflex and Fort saves, Necromancy)
Banishment (level 7, Will save, Abjuration)
Wail of the Banshee (level 9, Fort save, Necromancy)

.

And while I'm at it...

Negative Levels (never have a save)
Enervation (level 4, SR)
Necrotic Ray (level 6, no SR)
Symbol of Death (level 8, SR, AoE, persistent)
Energy Drain (level 9, SR)

CC (all but Web have SR checks)
Web (level 2, Reflex save / Strength to break free, Conjuration, persistent AoE)
Halt Undead (level 3, Will save, Necromancy, AoE)
Otto's Sphere of Dancing (level 7, Will save, Enchantment, persistent AoE)
Otto's Irresistible Dance (level 8, no save)
Mass Hold Monster (level 9, Will save, Enchantment)

There are quite a few other spells you could use, but if this was all you ever used you'd be in pretty good shape.

A meaningful chart is not possible simply due to variables.

Spell power, enhancements, prestige, implement bonuses, feats and character level all affect damage done by spells. While one Wizard could be doing 250 points of damage with a wall of fire, another may only do 80.

What could be done would be the base damage comparison, but that would be highly misleading due to the lack of information.

Actually, that's all I wanted. You know, "1d6 per caster level, max 10d6". That's fine with me.

Well, that's true. In fact it's so true, I'm sure someone has already done it. That's why I started this thread, so I'd have someone to be grateful to.

I don't see any page with the SP of all the spells. Some friend.

Thanks, I'll try it.

Scroll/click on individual spells to see a more in-depth analysis.

I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for on a one page document.
