I found it Odd
The Druid spell Crumble dont do much dmg on a Golem/ construct with max dmg it was 90 for a lvl 21 druid and that is Soinc it sould do extra dmg but let me tell you that the mage spell Chain Lightning do much more dmg on some Golem/construct not all but it do extra dmgs on some Golem/construct why we dont know but that is the way it is Sould Soinc do extre dmg to Golem/construct?

Re: I found it Odd
As per wiki, the reason damage is lower is because there's no save or SR check. Of course, you could argue it's niche and therefore should be stronger. I would agree. I have made a similar argument with the anti-shapechange spells and got the sense there won't be changes. Maybe it's just the lack of hands on deck. If I were you, I would move on.Unless the construct is immune to sonic damage, this spell really can do some heavy damage to them. No save, no spell resistance, and it can be maximized or empowered meaning a lot of un-resistible damage.

But the Golem/construct is not immunie and i did use maximized but i was only lvl 21 but then agian if i only do 90 dmg with maximized then i dont see it as a Powerfull spell ,This spell really can do some heavy damage to them couse it is a lvl 6 spell so it will be a lvl 8 or 9 maximized so it is not worthy to use maximized or empowered.

That's true, but what would have happened if you used Chain Lightning and failed the Spell Resistance check? You would have dealt no damage. What if, even after passing the SR check, Golem would have passed the Reflex save? You would have only dealt half the damage. Crumble bypasses that, but only in a niche scenario (constructs).

If you don't pass the SR check, they won't take any damage at all, vulnerable or not.

Re: I found it Odd
Crumble disregards SR, therefore justifying lower damage output.

Re: I found it Odd
The reason it does less damage is because it doesn't care for SR and saving throws. Don't know what else to tell you.
