[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9409224, member: 52734"] Yeah, I keep in rules to punish firing into a melee. It's disadvantage to fire into melee. If a 1 is rolled, check the other die - if it WOULD have been a hit, see who the target is (can't be the original target). If the attacker does something to negate the disadvantage in the first place (aim, sharpshooter, etc.), I allow that to negate the chance of hitting a friendly as the character is taking extra caution to avoid friendly fire. (I always have in my mind the scene from Raiders fighting on the plane. There's a scene where the pilot physically holds his fire when the muscle mechanic comes up to melee Indiana). [MEDIA=youtube]FRTkFU1xSwY:148[/MEDIA] Monsters follow the same rules, and certain creatures will or won't risk friendly fire. Hobgoblins won't risk friendly fire, but orcs - they don't care, and sometimes actually hope they take out a fellow combatant as retaliation for some past slight or hope of "promotion" in their clan.
