If that takes more than about 10 seconds then I'll prompt them a little. Don't like to bring the players distance judgement into the actions of their PC.Personally, I'd rather use NPC tactics to force a more difficult decision. Magic savvy opponents will mix in with the frontline PCs to make targeting more difficult. Had a couple of situations where AoE spells have been dumped on PCs to make for faster mook clearance... However, the PCs certainly can't discuss this - it's the wizards call to make. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Edit: I'd view fireballs in 2 ways. At lower levels - they're the wizards once/twice per day chance to showboat. Higher levels, they're a convenient way of disposing of large groups of much weaker opponents. Either way, I don't want to mess with their seconds in the spotlight. Doesn't happen very often, particularly at the lower levels...</blockquote>
