[QUOTE="Abraxas, post: 342118, member: 1266"] The DM for the game I play in was having fits with this spell. Initially he had ruled that a separate attack roll and saving throw was made for each missile. In actual play this ruling resulted in the target virtually always being hit and dazed (the mage used fire orb). He subsequently decided that while multiple attack rolls would still be needed only one saving throw would be needed. He hashed over how other spells work and how this spell would affect a creature with SR to come up with his final ruling. Some of the things that went in to the ruling change were; 1) The duration of the secondary effect doesn't stack - so if you get hit by two or more missiles the secondary effects still only last for one round. 2) The caster would only get a single roll to overcome a targets creatures SR. 3) Since the spell didn't act like separate individual entities for these things it shouldn't for saving throws either.
