Q: Difference between Sunbeam and Lightning Bolt

I was looking at some 5e spell effects and noticed that the 6th level spell Sunbeam does 6d8 radiant damage (ave 27 damage). The 3rd level Lightning Bolt spell does 8d6 lightning damage (ave 28 damage). Why does a 6th-level spell deal the same amount of damage as a 3rd-level spell? To make it wor...

@Eddymage Definitely not answering because I haven't done it at my tables, but it does sound like you want something to happen beyond the retcon. I'm not sure something oes need to happen, but one potential dice rolling option is roll for the new HP.

Within the rules, just part of the switch, but adds some risk.

@NautArch This is a really good one, didn't think about this

instead of HP max reducing, reroll the hit dice for the sorcerer levels and see what happens

I like it

NautArch

They might end up with more :)

Eddymage

Yes, I want something to happen mainly for 2 reasons: because I think that decisions and choice have consequences, and moreover there are some plot/background details that strongly suggest that something should happen

@NautArch it really depends, since he new hit die is lower, but the trill of the rolls adds something more to the whole event imho

@NautArch Mmm, I discarded that option because there are several sidequests on hold, and I planned a level up soon. I'd like this change to happen with before the level up

That’s reasonable :) moving on is probably a good call anyway.
