im pooping! posted:C) It is most likely invisible I'm gonna go with invisible, also. magic doesn't have de facto sensory descriptions in dnd, but psionic powers do, with a secondary effect called display, with a small group of possible sensory effects that accompany them, and every psionic approximation of magic missile (energy missile, mind thrust, etc.) only has an auditory effect. admittedly this is conjecture but the real answer is probably something gay like "it's whatever it looks like in the collective imagination of the people you are playing with!"

That works better as an in-word explanation, imo. Maybe it has no definite, universal form but varies from person to person. It'd be shaped by the wizard to look like a potent and powerful symbol but the wizard's views on just what that is would be shaped by training and culture:

I always imagined it as a black skull giving off smoke. Possibly a inhumanly small skull, like a baseball size.

I imagine it looks like a distortion in the air, like a localized heat shimmer. Maybe some kind of weak glow too.

I'm not a mil-sperg, so I'm gonna have to guess here, is that an AIM-7? Radar guided, doesn't even have to hit the plane, just gets close enough then explodes into fragments, the archetype of an area weapon in 3D space. That thing will do a gently caress load more damage than a lovely magic missile. Put it this way, a magic missile has a fair chance of putting the family dog out of his misery, if the vet has already given him his nembutal that is, and it has a range of a few dozen yards. While the plane-missile has, by definition, a range beyond the visual horizon, and is designed to shred a Mig-23. You ever see a Mig-23 in flight? If you did, you wouldn't magic missile it, and you certainly wouldn't walk up to it with kind words and try and inject sleepydrugs into it to put it down like you would the family dog.

Rutibex posted:so your saying it's more of a Fireball spell? A fireball on steroids maybe. Your basic fireball is fine against groups of soft targets. I mean it's a classic terrorist weapon, it kills people (the role of a killer) but doesn't defeat an enemy (the role of a soldier). According to various rulebooks, a fragmentation explosive does slashing damage, much better against objects and vehicles because it doesn't have to suffer half damage before applying hardness. A fireball specifically designed against aerial vehicles perhaps? Considering the damage it does, Meteor Swarm is probably more appropriate.

Mange Mite posted:drat now youve got me doing it Please, we all think about balls 24/7. Anyway, the missile is a Magic R550? That literally makes it a magic missile. And, you know, I often have to come up with dice numbers as a DM. Spergy D&D numbers follow. The R550 is meant to either destroy or at least cripple a fighter plane, which has, what, I'ma give it 50 hit points, why not. The Abrams tank has 62hp or something in that book I have, a plane gets close to that. 5 hardness because it's squishy aluminium. Say the missile has a 50% chance of doing at least 50% damage to the aircraft, enough to damage it severely enough to force it to return to base. So 25 hit points of damage as half of 50 is 25, add another 5 for hardness means the missile must do on average 30 damage (before hardness). Using d6s and averaging, that's between 8-9 d6. Lets say 9d6. But gently caress just crippling a plane! The French made their missile to destroy the Soviet fighter, not simply force it to limp back to base on one-engine with honorable battle scars in its fusilage! Make it a nice round number, 10d6. The French see your silly D&D magic missile of 1d4+1 and raise it to a full 10d6 area damage with 30 ft. radius. What are you gonna do? (Huh, it really is like a fireball, I see it now.)
