FIREBALL: Baldur's Gate 2 BG2

Fireball is a Baldur's Gate spell in BioWare's cRPG of 1998-2001, Baldur's Gate.

• Fireball (Evocation) 
• Level: 3
• Range: Visual range of caster 
• Duration: Instantaneous 
• Casting Time: 3 
• Area of Effect: 30-foot radius 
• Saving Throw: 1/2 

A fireball is an explosive burst of flame, which detonates with a low roar and delivers damage proportional to the level of the wizard who cast it - 1d6 points of damage for each level of experience of the spellcaster (up to a maximum of 10d6). The wizard points his finger and speaks the range (distance and height) at which the fireball is to burst. A streak flashes from the pointing digit and, unless it impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed range, blossoms into the fireball (an early impact results in an early detonation). Creatures failing their saving throws each suffer full damage from the blast. Those who roll successful saving throws manage to dodge, fall flat, or roll aside, each receiving half. 

***

◦ Fireball (Evocation, SCRL1G): Famous AoE direct dmg spell that inflicts 1-6 fire dmg per level of the caster up to a max of 10d6. However, wands can be found that serve the same purpose, and wands have no casting time. Save vs. spells for half. 

Rank: Mid-tier.

The Fireball spell isn't all that useful when we have wands of fire and detonation arrows [in-depth].
