To use them more carefully, knowing you can harm your own teammates or allies.

He means to make AoE spells affect friendly homins too, thus forcing people to take greater care when using them.

Wouldn't that make it impossible to tank?

he seems to fail to comprehend that what he thinks are AOE spells aren't.
They're multi-target spells.
If you cast a bomb at a dense pack, it will hit only a maximum number of targets in the pack, depending on the stanza used, it won't hit the entire pack (unless of course the number of potential targets is smaller or equal to the maximum your stanza allows).

As to tanking, a true AOE with ability to damage friendlies would make tanking harder, especially it'd make the healers' job a lot harder.
It'd also create a massive capability for griefing, in that a caster could simply target something near a friendly (or so they think) group and kill them all by casting a few bombs.

Never argue with an idiot; they will just drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

-1 It confilcts with many of the other game mechanics, don't see the benefits.

+1 for more realism

+1 If the AoE effects wouldnt have a limited number of targets and affected ALL targets inthe Area of Effect dealing 100% damage in the effect starting point and dissipate as it spreads (not dividing the damage of a single hit among multiple enemies).

They should also work for healing spells - after all who didnt try to heal themself using a bomb heal.

Under any other circumstances I think it's pointless.

Make bombs hit friendly targets so people can kill non attackable homins?

This would just become the next aggro dragging, have one character stand next to another regular homin and bomb nuke them to kill other homins... Not to mention it wouldnt be ticketable because it'd be part of the game

They're not ordinary bombs, where indiscriminate damage is the usual outcome. They're magic spells, so can be tailored to hurt only the bad guys, like er, magic.

Isn't it enough that they already target everything in range, and some careless homins aggro loads of herbivores by just using bombs at inappropriate times?

So nope from me.

"It's shite being tryker! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of Atys! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the Matis. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Marceline, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any ****** difference"

No. They target only a few mobs in range, not everything.
