[QUOTE="Gallant Farstryder, post: 347619, member: 1808"] Uh huh. So far still with you. Not nice. The stupid besides refers to the PC's ability to know where everything in darkness is. This wasn't clarified, but I admire your ability to insult regardless. PS: Tact goes a long way towards making friends. Also if you assumed I was insulting someone else, and you took up the gauntlet, no problem, no foul. I haven't found anything in the DMG. Referances are helpful. PHB states that "some spells spread out like a burst, but etc. "YOU select the point of origin. and hte spell spreads from there". My understanding is that the point of origin must be known. If you can find me the page it states otherwise, yet again that would be helpful. That's why I brought up the message on the board "dudel." After reading the books several times I am not sure of all the rules. Yes, it is his choice. But there is not any "danger" in knowing exactly where everyone is, and launching a fireball into darkness specifically manuevered such that his compadres arn't hurt. PS: After looking at the round by round sheet, darkness was cast, 4 players went, 3 NPC baddies, and then it was his turn. At that point he started saying they were in the same spot. He knew they weren't because he could see. Regardless people did go, and they could have moved. He could not have known. I believe he does since his shooting the targets requires him to name the "point of origin". And the only way he can name said point is by looking at the board. I don't believe that anyone (26 int or not) could see a scene, walk 25 ft out of darkness, turn around and state "14ft forward, 4 to the left, and a bit of an arc for flare" I understand that your IMHO covers what you have said here. If you would like to turn said IMHO into matter of fact, some page references would be lovely. Gallant Farstryder [/QUOTE]
