I suspect my players are going to try this. And if they don't this week; I can
be sure to see it eventually.
A mage is casting an area effect spell like powerball in a small contained room...
To limit who gets hit he covers one eye and cups the other such that he only
sees some of the people.
How would you rule it?
Half the party is in front or to the side of him, the other half behind. A hostage
and several opponants in front and he's trying to obscure vision to only some
of the people. The room is small enough that the entire 6m radius spell would
fill it 1 and a half times.
Which bring up another question.
If a physical damaging area effect spell is cast up against a wall and does
not blow through the wall will it double back on everyone like explosions do?
I know an elemental spell will, but what about something like powerball?
