This simple pack changes the way Meteor Swarm works so that it resembles its D&D 3.5 version: 4 meteors are summoned targeting 4 creatures (if there are less targets the meteors are assigned while cycling through the creatures in HD order. If there are no creatures, random location are targeted). Each meteor does 2d6 physical damage if it successfully hits. Additionally it exlodes dealing 6d6 fire damage to all creatures in a vast radius. Reflex save halves the fire damage, but if a creature gets sucessfully hit directly, there is no save. If a creature gets hit by more than one such fireball, the damage stacks. Other than that the targeting variations work the same - "location" targets creatures in a location, "creature"  focuses on a single target, "caster " makes sure the caster is out of the blast radius,

There are 2 versions: one for "purists" and one for "explosion enthusiasts". They both work the same, but the latter has a little more "flare" to it. Here's a video.

WARNING! IMPORTANT! The standard OC version has a significant delay between casting and effect. To get rid of it you must make a slight change to the spells.2da on your own:

- open spells.2da

- go to row 116

- go to column "Proj"

- change the value to 0

- repeat for rows 973, 974, 975

Enjoy ;-)

Dear Bartosz, since it seems you're taking requests, can I persuade you to fix the ridiculous Battletide VFX next? You'd be my hero forever. Thanks. All your work is great (using everything that doesn't conflict with Reeron's Spell Fixes!)

Anything specific in mind? I personally like that vfx, cause you have no doubt the spell is cast :-P

Haha, too true! Maybe something understated? A circle where the spell's AoE begins (adding insult to injury, the default VFX is much larger than the actual AoE) and gray wisps of smoke curling across the ground in the circle's area?

I'll see what I can do, but I can tell you right now that some wisp is not a good idea - it would send the framerate to hell... Also: adding insult to injury? Could you clarify that please?

Oh, sorry. "adding insult to injury" just means "and what's even worse..." I'm sure whatever you come up with will be great. Thank you!
