[QUOTE="Janos Antero, post: 760287, member: 4480"] So what about Flame Arrow? That is another spell with multiple targets potentially. I tend to side with Caliban here in the fact that logically it should work like that. Specifically rules-wise I'm not so sure though given the general way magic tends to work. Seems a big case of logic vs balance I suppose. While SR and DR aren't identical, SR really should set the prescedent for magic, but that said, consider a weapon that does damage over time, such as Spiritual Weapon. If spiritual weapon has it's damage reduced by Hardness every round, magic missile likely would too. The missiles all hit the same round, but not at the same time. The missiles are all from one magic effect. Spiritual Weapon hits over several rounds. Spiritual Weapon is damage from one magic effect. Just some general thoughts. [/QUOTE]
