In fact, a level 1 wizard could hit a god with it. The problem is that it doesn't do much damage. A 3rd level magic missile hits for an average of, lets say 6 damage (I don't know the actual specs), but for a 12th level fighter, thats the damage he takes when eating breakfast. A magic missile is a ball of pure force that will go directly to a target (though it can move and bend around things.)The way to deal with rules that seem stupid is to just make something up. Why would that Magic Missile not hit the ally in the way of you and the orc? Well, the wizard is smarter then that, she aims it well and it weaves around the ally.I am in no way a veteran, its only been a few years for me. But basically the rules, for me, say mathematically what you can and cannot do, and you're free to fill in whatever reasons you want for it. Maybe instead of a ball of force, that magic missile actually summons a giant meteor down from the heavens. It will still only do 6 damage.</blockquote>
