Why should area-effect combat spells be resisted by armor if they can be
aimed at a point in space? DMs sure, they attack from the outside, but
combat spells attack from inside out. I'd like to see body armor that
protects against that...
Furthermore, I don't see what the big fuss is about -- there is no
difference to the resistance if an area-effect combat spell is aimed at a
person or a meter beside him/her.

Would you mind running that by me again? I have no clue what you're
talking about...
