|reason=This is far too powerful for a 3rd level Spell
“Acid Fog” also deals 2d6 Acid damage per round over a 20’ area and lasts for 1 Round/Level. It also reduces the speed of any target that passes though it and has a range of Medium – This is a 6th level Spell from the PHB.
Similarly, “Holy Storm” deals 2d6 damage to Evil-type creatures as well as imposes a penalty to Spot and Listen. All other variables are the same aside from the 20’ range. This is a 3rd level Spell from the SPC.
Finally, the baseline for most damage-dealing Spells is “Fireball” – a 3rd level Spell that deals 1d6 damage per Caster Level over a 20’ radius, at long range.
Taking this into account, “Acid Rain” would therefore be equivalent to a 7th level Spell when factoring in the increased range and ability to reduce the combat effectiveness of those affected.
For this to function as a 3rd level Spell, the range should be reduced to Medium and the weapon degradation should be removed; The damage should be reduced to 1d8 if it can be cast anywhere, or it can remain at 2d6 providing it cannot be cast indoors or with a low ceiling.
If you want to keep the weapon degradation as-is, then the damage should be reduced to 1d6 Acid damage and the Spell Level increased to 4th if you allow a Save or 5th with no save.
