Attack at night. 400ft range isn't any use at all when you can't see past 60.

Oh I might be thinking of Complete Warrior (I have both). You're right, there is a good section in the back of CWar about how battles might play out.Zandel said:First appeared in CW......good option....CW also has idea on wether to use magic and monsters in battle or not......if you do then your 100 solidures will be one to a 10' square at least anyway just to try and protect themselves.
Aidan mac Culloch said:2. Give them all evasion capability.
Door #2 is outrageously expensive. Rings of evasion are pricey.
Another simple solution is just spreading out. Fireball has a finite radius of coverage and the wizard doesn't have 40 castings of it (I hope). Sacrifice a few for the good of many and all that.
Just some ideas, nothing too exciting I guess.
[Edited to change the name of a spell to the correct one.]
The fire ball would not fizzl, but it would burst against the cover and than you start to determine the effects of the fireball.Grogtar said:Im not sure I understand the problem. People using Tower Shields can easily block a fireball, cant they ?
When using a tower shield for full cover you get to select one "side" of your square that you gain total cover from. Like this (x = people, | = shield):
_____|x
---> |x F
_____|x
If the arrow is the fireball its line of sight and effect is blocked by hard cover. Doesnt this mean the fireball fizzles ?
<edit : ignore the _'s. Stupid formatting>
