[QUOTE="Mort_Q, post: 4212916, member: 19808"] Only if you let it. I'm obviously not much of a writer. [B]DM:[/B] 3 orcs break from the cover of the crates and move here, here, and here. These two have hide armour and are armed with clubs, this one looks tougher, and has leather armour and shield, and is weilding a battle axe. He looks around and locks eyes with you (pointing at the player with the wizard PC)... he doesn't seem to like casters. [b]Player:[/b] So, if I cast [i]Fireball[/i] centered on this square, I can get both the axe dude and one of the clubs. That's what I do. [b]DM:[/b] Roll... INT vs Reflex, and then damage. [b]Player:[/b] Ok... club first... I get with bonuses 16, and for the axe 19. Damage is... X [b]DM:[/b] The fireball blooms into existence frying the two orcs caught in the blast. The one with club is down, and his club smolders briefly. The other orc you can see, managed to absorb most of the blast with his shield, but you singed his dreads, and he's looking meaner than ever. It's his turn... he charges you... Heck, if there's a Cheiftain in the orc party, the minion can still get an extra attack in when you kill it. Fun fun fun. [/QUOTE]
