"Self Damage%" stat line on AoE spells/skills

#1 Post by ushnor »

Right now, it often seems ambiguous if a spell will damage the caster or their allies. Some spells specify that they ignore the caster or say it only hits "foes", but many simply have no indication and no way to know until you experimentally throw one at your feet. Ideally it would be something like "#% damage to caster" due to things like Meta/Spellcraft and Alchemist Protection but even a simply yes/no would be helpful.

A line for "damages allies" would be even more useful, because if I'm playing a character which never has allies around and I suddenly have an escort, I'll find myself unsure what attacks are safe to use.
