If you target specific creatures, I can see you trying to overcome the individual SR of each target you specify, however, with burning hands and fireball, you simply apply the spell to a certain area of effect, and anyone who's in that area will end up being afffected by it.With magic missile, you roll damage separately for each missile, regardless of it being targetted at one creature or multiple creatures, however, with the area of effect spells, you only roll damage once and that's applied to the entire area. And the creature's SR is a static number, not an active defense on their part, so it's hard to see how a spell that has the same damage applied over the entire area would potentially affect creatures with the same SR differently.For targetted spells, I can see individual rolls, but for area affect spells, the one roll seems more logical.</blockquote>
