Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Burning Hands — It's your Burning Hands — a low-level area fire blast with a Dex save for half — just shaped as a 30-ft line instead of a cone and hitting a bit harder (3d8 instead of 3d6).
Expel a 30-foot line of flame dealing 3d8 fire damage on a failed Dex save, or half on a success.

You expel a burst of flame in a line 30 feet long and 5 feet wide, originating from you. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Overcharge Tech. When you cast this power using a tech slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
