Glory to Marik
MM always been more of a utility spell then a sure fire damage bet. Turning it into a low level blast misses the point.Magic Missile was good for guaranteed damage in earlier editions and then if you really wanted to accentuate its use, you counted each missile as a separate attack or missile, so in 2e, if someone was using Stoneskin, you could rule that each missile whittled away at then Stoneskin spell, just as in 5e, you could rule that each one means a Concentration check. But that’s dependent on your read of the spell’s effects and not every table can be counted to treat it the same (which to me is fine.)
