Do these images look right for the 10-foot and 5-foot radius effects?

Does that mean Emergency Force Sphere hits 9 squares instead of 4 now?

There are a pair of posts from Mark Seifter that says this FAQ is only supposed to apply to Large and larger creatures, and that the wording will be corrected to better reflect this.

See here and here.

I sent those fixes up early last week, but I've stated that it is not a huge priority. Some day the PDT will be able to edit FAQs so we don't have to bother them every time.

Let me make sure I've got this right. The FAQ only applies to large and larger creatures? So medium creatures still have the old, off center bursts? Being large or larger is already soooo advantageous (reach, increased weapon damage, str/con boosts). I'd say the FAQ should boost the size of all burst emanations.

If you would, check out this image I've made showing 30 and 35 foot bursts, are my bursts correct or incorrect?

30 and 35 fot bursts

and 10 foot bursts

10 foot bursts

Great thread! while we're at it, do some of you have various cone length for my siege gunner gunslinger? I have the wire templates for 30 and 60-foot cones, but I'm looking for:

15-foot cone;
20-foot cone; and
25-foot cone.

Counting the squares every time has become a pain in combat...

Yeah, those are correct. Thanks for the images.
