[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7751566, member: 996"] In some games that are actually designed to be played without any sort of minis, play surface or granular position-tracking, 'Nearby' or 'Close' or "ReallyReallyReallyReally Far" or the like can have jargon meanings used in place of exact measurements to help determine things like range, area, & movement. Barring a jargon meaning, probably anyone that matters. A passing rat would just be color (and probably just described as crisped), a passing rat that is a wizard's familiar, would take the 2d6 damage. Presumably, something that gives no duration has no duration, though, again, the system may have a default, like, oh 3d6 turns, for instance. That's the 64 sp question, isn't it? Or it could imply that the fireball and armor are both sentient, but that the fireball is too full of itself ("I am MIGHTY!") to give armor the time of day. I'd expect full plate, for instance, to be quite punctilious ("How dare you, you hot-head!") about such sleights... Since DW uses PbtA, I'm guessing 'nah' to all that. That sounds plausible, and it saves the full plate from having to challenge the fireball to a duel. Since you've volunteered to be my straight man: what does DW have to say about 'nearby' or 'everyone,' and how does it feel about each DM ruling being treated as an iron-clad precedent...? [/QUOTE]
