D&D Context[]

  • Flame Strike is a 5th level spell which deals 1d6 damage per level, to a maximum of 15d6, with a Reflex Save for half damage.
  • Inflict Serious Wounds deals 3d8 damage +1 point per level. To undead like "Durkon", it heals rather than harms.
  • "Durkon"'s vampiric energy drain attack drains two levels and grants him 10 temporary hit points.
  • Vampires in D&D also have an inherent Spider Climb ability, which "Durkon" uses to climb the wall.
