[QUOTE="Turtlejay, post: 5010564, member: 70267"] Too true. Take a breather you guys. As for damaging allies, it helps if you don't think of HP=damage. The warrior caught in the edge of the fireball perhaps didn't sustain an injury, but the wash of heat maybe singed his eyebrows and threw off his honed battle concentration. The woodsman in the path of the cleric's radiant power is perhaps dazzled by the holy radiance. On and on, you get the picture. And really, I look at this as an in-character choice. I have had PC's that surely would protest at being targeted, and some that almost welcome it, if they know it will bring pain to their enemies. Just be careful of status conditions. I remember hitting an ally with a power that dazed, and our cleric was down to one action a round for most of a fight. In the end it was certainly not worth the cost, as the enemies died or shook it off long before. Jay [/QUOTE]
