Disable attack spells on yourself

#1 Post by Jaorin »

Would it be possible to disable attacking yourself? I've lost a couple of characters expecting the target to go to an enemy instead of myself. Maybe a flag on spells that are detrimental that skips the player as a target.

All spells that deal damage are detrimental to the player. No matter who casts them!

This is one of those 'new' things!

Right. . . but the interface really shouldn't let you target yourself with them. Is there ever a reason why you would want to shoot yourself with a manathrust?

I'm working on that!

On the other hand Area effect spells can be positioned so you get hit. I have targetted myself with these and then blinked...

Yes area spells are powerful but you must be careful. That helps balancing mages a bit too.
There is a talent that could help, or some fun spell combos you could try :)
