Most Damaging Spell in the game?

Sunfire isn't the most damaging (I can't imagine more than 80 dmg), but it's good when you're surrounded. For area spells you'd need some immunity to target yourself. Or mirror image, if there's some on you. I still prefer massive mordenkainen's sword butchery with like +54 to hit.

 

Scratch that thing about Tymora's Loop. It doesn't work with spell damage dice.

 

Would the Luck Spell affect min dice rolls. Such as normal spell damage does 1d6 but with Luck it would do 2d3... kind of???

If it does - increasing Luck could help gey max damage.

 

Luck affects your rolls within the normal maximum IIRC. So you would avoid critical misses, minimal spell damage etc and get closer to max damage, but wouldn't exceed it.

 

Luck affects ability enhancing spells. For example, having Luck on someone gives +1 luck, and when casting Cat's Grace (1d4+1 normally), the result of 1d4 is shifted up by 1, unless it's 4, in which case it's unchanged.

This doesn't work with spell damage dice. Ive tried equippping a character with 2 Tymora's Loop and casting Luck on him. I've monitored the attack roll with the available option. He has never gotten a roll below 8. If luck applies to spell damage rolls, DBFB should always do its maximum damage of 240. It didn't. It was still averaging around 120. There are several possible explanations:
1. luck only affects the first die.
2. each luck source affects 1 die.
3. luck doesn't affect spell damage dice.
I don't really feel like determining which one because the result is all the same: it's not big enough of a boost to spell damage, if any. I guess it makes sense: how cheap would it be if every DBFB you put out did 288 damage every time?

 

Hey guys, I'm not sure which spell deals the most damage in a "decent" amount of casting time, I just wanted to say that I love smashing wave too I have a human ranger(1)druid(29) and she's at character level 13 and her smashing wave deals about 60 damage on average, kinda long casting though.
