[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 6816457, member: 31754"] Different situation. Spells do not get Extra Attack. If they did, then it would be 2 or more separate spells. Each would be targeted individually and each could be interrupted. On the flip side if you could make simultaneous attacks with, say, a melee weapon, that would be awesome. The closest think I can think of is the Ranger's Whirlwind Attack. It's one attack with separate attack rolls for each target. Note that you do not get to chose targets after each roll. Of course you can only ever get one attack on each target. So let's say that the Ranger is next to four opponents. He wants to leave at least one unharmed. I would rule that he has to pick all of his targets before rolling. It is just one attack after all. So he could pick all four and hope he misses one, or he could pick three and maybe end up with more than one unharmed if he misses. Time to make a tactical decision! Do you risk it? Fun! :) Edit: Also, you can move between attacks. But not between the "instantaneous" attacks of a spell. I wonder why that is? [/QUOTE]
