[QUOTE="Ashrem Bayle, post: 4192115, member: 3103"] If you are looking for house rules, here's one that came to me. Every AoE spell has a center right? So you could do it like this: Target a square. You get a +2 bonus on the enemy in the target square. For every square the effect extends out, subtract 1 from the result of the casting roll. So, for example, Evil Bob is the target of the spell. You cast your Fireball at him with a +2 to hit. Let's say you roll a 16, which is adjusted up for Bob to 18. Bob's Henchman, Dug, is 10' away from Evil Bob. For the purposes of hitting him, the result is 16. Meg is a total of 25' away from Evil Bob, so the effective roll agains the is 13. It makes things a little more tactical. Dude at the center of the effect is probably going to get lit up. Those farther away however have a better chance or surviving the spell as the effects dwindle the farther it gets from the center. *shrug* Just a thought. It doesn't really address the conversation at hand, but I thought it as an interesting notion. [/QUOTE]
