[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7488994, member: 2629"] It does resut in some logical oddities. A gigantic monster with a toe in the area of a fireball is treated no differently than one that has the fireball blow up front and center and cover their whole body... but that is RAW an RAI. However, RAF (Rules as Fun), I like to give creatures advantage on saves against area spells if they are on the fringes, and disadvantage if someone intentionally targets somthing like a fireball front and center on one specific target (sometimes asking the attacker to roll an attack roll to force the disadvantage). I'm not too worried about it as damage spells are not overwhelming in 5E as much as they have been in prior editions. [/QUOTE]
