That guy's in the thick of fighting. He looks pretty strong. But I bet he's stupid!' Pow. 'Hm. He's casting a spell. That gives to reason that he's got a good grasp of his mental capabilities. But, he looks frail.' Pow. Spellcasters know what their spells work best with. Otherwise they'd be trying to Hold wizards and fireball rogues. Does that mean it's metagaming to not hit a red dragon with a fireball? It is, if you've never heard of a red dragon, and you don't know it's immune to fire, but what character *doesn't* hear tales of fire dragons?And, I don't see how you figure that the FB knows it's his allies he's smacking, and not the enemy. I see it akin to a Vietnam vet having a serious flashback, and seeing everyone around him as Charly. This guy has just been beating an ogre to a bloody pulp, looks up, and just sees more things after him. So, he's gotta beat them into the ground, too. Not 'These are my friends, but I just...can't...stop my hand! Aaah! Bill, forgive me!'.</blockquote>
