During the very last encounter against a 17th level minion of Iborighu, the mojh mage blade decided to cast a Sorcerous Blast (Fire) in the room. Result: one PC reduced to -7 HP (Mandingo, the hummingbird totem warrior). He would die at -8 (as per AE rules) at the end of the turn. Then, the winter witch tries to stabilize him by using her Heal skill... and rolls a fumble, which kills the character. This made me think of Fireballs/area-damage spells cast around friendly targets, resulting in their death. I fairly believe this is a classic, since I've seen this happen multiple times while playing D&D/AD&D. What are your own experiences about this? Did you see characters die because of friendly fire? How? Anecdotes are welcome. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
