[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 9409236, member: 5948"] I run that if your target is benefiting from a cover bonus to AC, and if you miss by an amount less than the cover bonus, then you hit the cover. Often that'll have no effect at all, but if it's one of your allies obscuring your view of your target, or something flammable getting in the way of your Fire Bolt, then it might. I do warn PCs ahead of making an attack that this rule would apply though, and let them choose a different action if they prefer. Edit: I also have a fumble rule, but it's a player-optional one. If you roll a natural 1 on an attack, then you can choose to take an inspiration point in exchange for a fumble consequence of my choosing (and you don't know what it is beforehand). I haven't used this to have the attack hit an ally yet, though. It's an option, but generally i prefer to have it result in environmental consequences that make the fight more dynamic or cinematic. I think if i started having fumbles cause friendly fire, PCs would very quickly stop opting in to the fumble rule. [/QUOTE]
