    **? The reason Meteor Swarm is not appropriate is not because the party might get caught in the larger AoE.

    You guys are all wrong. Horrid Wilting doesn't allow Evasion like Fireball, isn't blocked by Death Ward like Enervation, or deflected by Ray Deflection.

    Amusingly, there *is* such a spell in 3.5. It normally shoots the target up into the air(if they fail two Fort saves first, that is) and pushes them into a random direction. However, if there's a window in range, the target is automatically knocked into that direction instead.

    My character was actually the daughter of a Changeling who "made their choice" to be fully human after I was born, resulting in me being a Minor Talent with only the Minor Glamour Power. (it was our first and only dip into Dresden and I had only read the game books.) My Grandmother (whom I knew was Fae and Winter court, but did not know the power level of) loved me because she got to claim me as a representative but I was not bound by the fae inability to lie. Despite being well meaning and fairly good, I caused more chaos than almost anyone else.

    * [The Dresden Files RPG] I am allowed and expected to be angry at the party for not being able to tell my character from another fae using Glamour to look like me.
    ** Proving I am not a glamoured fae by telling a single obvious lie is acceptable. Doing so by lying about everything and everyone all the time is not.
    *** Referencing the Immortals Can Lie scene from EGS is funny once.

    *May not try to convince anyone that half-elves, having pointy ears, are like vulcans and cannot lie. One, that's a lie. Two, anyone who's seen enough of the series knows vulcans can and do lie, despite their claims otherwise.

    I use blue text for silliness and/or sarcasm. Do not take anything I say in blue text seriously, except for this sentence and the one preceding it.

    ... wait, in-atmosphere?

    From what little I understand of physics, wouldn't that be less a case of 'rocks fall, everyone dies', and more a case of 'atmosphere is stripped away in a hellish firestorm and entire hemisphere is sterilized with hard radiation, everything dies'?

    A baseball at 0.9 C takes out a baseball stadium, maybe a small town. Given that energy increases exponentially as you approach C, something at 0.5 C would definitely do a lot of damage, but it's not causing in atmosphere fusion with its mere passage. Something at 0.6 C is "just" a strategic nuke, not a country wiper.

    Yes, but a missile is a *lot* bigger than a baseball. Anyone care to do the math?
