Spell Balancing, Variant (5e Variant Rule)

Variant Spell Balancing

This variant rule is made for vanilla 5e damage and hit point mechanics as written. Any variation on those might impede this rule's goal, which is to make spells deadly based on how many spell slots are available at the class level of being gained (as well as taking into account hit dice). This format is based off a table found in the DMG for balancing custom spells. You can make custom spells using these guidelines or use them to do some patchwork on existing spells.

Spell Level	One Target	Multiple Targets
Cantrip	1d10	1d6
1st	2d10	2d6
2nd	3d10	3d6
3rd	4d10	4d6
4th	7d10	8d6
5th	9d10	10d6
6th	12d10	13d6
7th	14d10	15d6
8th	16d10	18d6
9th	20d10	24d6
