Pillar of Light to Radiance III

[bbqzor]

Unless Im grossly mistaken or unless you plan on adding a low level light effect, there are no level 1 and 2 light spells. This makes the focus you added to Pillar of Light useless. If you bump it up to level 3, itll hit Searing Light, solving the problem. Also, since it has a click of searing light, it makes a fair bit of sense. Thanks.

I believe that Radiance II being referred to, is not the same Radiance effect as in Improved Radiance II or something like that, but rather Radiance II, as in the Greensteel effect.

However, I haven't actually gone in to get my upgraded one yet to confirm. It's supposed to be a on 20 hit ability or something (like a crit).

This would make more sense.

Effective: Blind on a Critical Hit. No save, no check, just Blind.

Needs testing.

Ohho, well that would make more sense. They need more unique names for their effects ><. Ty.

Nimbus of Light is sad!

But we'll put bumping it to Radiance III under consideration. I don't see why not.

The Catacombs item has increased damage to level II and lower light spells, not the greensteel effect.

Aspect of Radiance 2 on a lowbie staff would be perfectly balanced. I promise.

So say the thief-acrobats, right?

Either way it's a twohanded weapon, meaning you sacrifice a possibility of having a good scepter in each hand. Caster staves should be as powerful as two scepters, or at least 1.5 scepters.

Nimbus of Light is completely useless. The maximum damage you can get as a level 20 cleric is 28. Utterly replaced by Searing Light.

He's referring to this. And there is a 1st-level cleric spell called nimbus of light that does 1d8, excuse me, 1 to 8 +1/level light damage as a ray attack. There are no 2nd-level spells, but this was likely included because radiance I, as an enhancement, does not exist AFAIK. It at least leaves the possibility for any future spells added that are 2nd-level.
