In the PHB, short description of this spell it says that it affects d6 weak opponents while in the description it makes no mention of a limit to the targets although there will be an obvious limit to the number who will be the 15' cone.

Is there a limit or not? I did look in the latest FAQ and didn't see it there...

Thanks

No , there is no limit to the number of creatures as long as all of them are inside the 15 ft cone.

Don't know whether you're 3.0 or 3.5 people, but my crumbly old 3.0 PHB specifies

The closest 1d6 creatures in the cone are affected.

PHB p185

Thats not the short description, that the full description.

Of course, being a Rip Van Winkle type, I may be out of date with ths new fangled 3.5 malarky. :D

I believe they made the cone shorter in 3.5, and removed the limitation. (feel free to verify, for those who care)

Keterys,

OK, that would make sense.

Cheers :)

Where there is conflict, always follow the full spell description.
