For example, if a Fireball is big enough to hit a real foe and several minions, and you miss, the real foe takes half damage and could die, while the minions are completely unharmed. Yes, they only have 1 hit point, but imagine how much time someone might waste using abilities that cause damage on a miss against minions, that can't be hurt by misses.Infamous Jumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325095907854089585noreply@blogger.com
