Sun Burst how big?

[braddw34]

i know the radius is 80
and the diamitor is 160 and
that gives me an area of 160*3.14 witch is 502.4
but how many 5' squares is in that?
if i divide by 5 that makes 100 pie shapes in the area

Do you need to actually know?

Estimate?

Take a string and tie to a marker, then measure 80/5 squares and hold the end in the middle?

Maybe this will help?

A lot, planning on Sunbursting an army ?
Around 800 unless my math is awfully off (which is possible btw)

Area is pi r^2. So it's actually 80*80*3.14=6400*3.14 ~ 20000. If you're talking squares, that'd amount to ~800 (since each is 25 square feet). But anything that focuses exclusively on the count will ignore that a bunch of those are partial squares that you need a method for determining whether it's in or out and means it touches significantly more than that 800 squares. Also, Pathfinder generally does diagonals on a 5,10,5,10... basis which affects how corners land.

Thanks all for posting I counted the squares from the link Tacticslion posted 625 if it ever comes up again
