Which looks like the AoEs becoming smaller on outdoor maps, but in theory the spell AoEs are remaining constant while everything else increases by a factor of three.(The core underlying theory is that you can shoot arrows further outdoors than indoors because you can arc shots without worrying about hitting the ceiling, and everything else is Mr. Gygax giving excuses why everything except spell areas of effect also treble outdoors.)</blockquote>
