The only difference here is that default spells wouldn't require anything, so you don't have to remember and keep track of that, and players might get creative including the skin of various fire-dwelling beast along with your rare sulfurs.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-6789662210271063302010-09-17T08:17:44.209-07:002010-09-17T08:17:44.209-07:00I do exactly this especially if my players are on ...I do exactly this especially if my players are on another plane. Right now the group I'm dm'n was banished to the plane of pandemonium where spell effect can go off kilter normally (teleportation is mighty tricky!) A few of the spell casters have figured out that by using various spell components or "enhanced" spell components they might get a little extra "umph" out of a spell. <br /><br />For example the Fireball spell takes a small ball of bat guano and some sulfur to cast. That combo gets you normal dmg (yawn), however the dark of it is if use use sulfur gathered the nine hells you get more bang or other interesting effects. <br /><br />1st layer of hell Avernus sulfur from here will boost your dmg output by 2 die.<br /><br />Sulfur from the Phlegethos the 4th Layer of Hell it'll add 4 die but its rare. <br /><br />If you've been extremely lucky to gather the ultra rare sulfur from the cold wastes of the 7th layer of hell, Cania, you get multiple effects specifically fireball will do equal dice of both cold and fire (that's double dmg!) as well as act like negative energy all while encompassing the area of detonation with a deeper darkness spell. <br /><br />WOO HOO! <br /><br />But that's why its almost impossible to get the various kinds and if someone in madhouse claims to have the real thing but won't let you examine it before parting with your jink then stuff is likely fake.<br /><br />-david<br /><br />http://www.d4d6d8d10d12d20.com - My Game Blogpoly hedronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211102289345645754noreply@blogger.com
