i play a wizard and cast a fireball, it damage 20~25 hit points on each enemy.

i use qara to cast a fireball too, it damage 25~30 hit points .

we have the same character's or class level., and we have the same feat 'spell penetrate'

is that sorcerer's spell stronger than a wizard ?

Are you a pure wizard or a multiclass? The power depends on casting level.

Another thing I can think of is this...Fireball allows a reflex save to take half damage (or none if they have evasion). Quara has some spell focus feats in evocation. Fireball's school is evocation. That spell focus gives the enemies a penalty on saves so they are more likely to miss the saving throw (and take full damage)

Yes, you are right sir,

i didn't have that feat spell focus (evocation), i think this is the reason.

thanks,

No, sorcs should do more damage but they don't.

The difference must be from that feat, as said.
