[QUOTE="Woas, post: 2677714, member: 16317"] I always liked the idea of a Sonicball myself. I picked Lightningbolt because for me, Fireball is like the text-book defenition of "rollplaying". For example, I kinda get annoyed with D&D combat because of how "blocky" it is. People moving exactly 30ft... being able to count 100ft to see if that last goblin is just within the range of your bow, etc. I mean really, does the character have magical Range-Finding eyes or something? And well, fireball falls under this category too. I've seen many a time where a player will calculate the exact square where their fireball needs to go off to get every possible monster in the radius and not hit an ally who is in melee with said monster... I mean really, can the character truely pin-point that little bead that good? What if their off by a foot and the blast comes into the allies square? How do they know where exactly 20 feet starts and stops. Ok ok, I'm done.. for another thread sometime I guess. [/QUOTE]
