If there’s some creative use in a specific unique situation where it’s justified, I think I might be warranted since it could be cool and fun without breaking the game. If it’s something they can do in almost every encounter, then definitely not
Indeed. Context is key. But lets not count the exceptions to make the basic rules shall we not ?
Of course if you use Produce flame to burn the heavy chandeleer right over the troll to make it fall down, you could make more than 1d8 fire damage in a round. But the chandeleer is doing the heavy lifting here.
