Original Text: “You extend your hand toward a creature you can see within range and project a puff of noxious gas from your palm. The creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d12 poison damage.”

Issues: No reward for near-melee range. Inconsistent damage of the most-resisted type.

Solution: Allow multiple targets similarly to Acid Splash. Lower damage-die but add more.

Comments: I wanted to reward the danger of melee combat. But in order to enhance usability of the spell I nerfed the damage to arrive later to be more in-flavor with poison, and to create uncertainty & lower tactical usage.
