Area 30-ft.-radius burst
Duration instantaneous and 2 rounds; see text
Saving Throw Reflex half (see text) Spell resistance no

Acid erupts from your space in all directions, causing 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 20d6) to creatures and unattended objects in the area. On your turn in each of the next 2 rounds, creatures and objects that failed their saves against the initial burst take an additional 1d6 points of acid damage per 2 caster levels (maximum 10d6) unless the acid is neutralized, dispelled, or washed away.

The stat block states that this spell is of medium range, while the descriptive text states that it erupts from "your space in all directions". Any thoughts on which one is it ?


Clearly it allows you to use the spell if you are a hundred feet away from yourself at the time of casting.


I would cut the "from your space" part from the description.


I believe, the text is correct, otherwise it would have a 20ft. radius like delayed blast fireball. It's probably a balancing factor, since it could do as much as 40d6 with SR: No.


it has been tagged for clerification in the um eratta thread. nost seem to be going with the text and a 30 foot burst.
