DC 20 isn't even hard considering the effect it's supposed to have.
Level 7 rogue that just got Evasion has a +3 proficiency and could have 20 dex, so succeeds for ZERO damage on a 12, and never takes full.
I think the scroll should've split between Force and Fire damage. Make the Force damage a CON save for half, because you can't avoid it, only tank it, and make the fire the dex save.
Then rogues still get to use Evasion, but it's not "I anime dodge the comet".
Eh. If the wizard can conjure it, the rogue should be able to dodge it.
I know it makes my GM twitch whenever my rogue or monk would dodge an explosion. But we have to disillusion ourselves of the ridiculous notion that martial characters have to obey the laws of physics.
as a DM I tell my players I reserve the right to describe their actions in the event they pull some ridiculous shit like this off, usually they ask me to because more often than not they're equally surprised.
