Ask Doctor Bubba

Dear Dr. Bubba My character recently cast a Fireball with a triggering spell I had invented on himself, so that when people hassled him the FB would go off and kill them. But when just such an event occurred, my GM told me that *I* had taken the damage too, and since I was right at ground zero, I got no save. Is this fair? Or should I find a more reasonable GM? Fried in Florida And on a similar note... Dear Doctor Bubba, My character recently made a lamp using a milk bottle, some petrol/gasoline and a rag. However, my GM insisted that this was actually a "f***ing molotov cocktail!" and told me that my character had lost 55 hit points and had his charisma reduced to 3. Is he right? Maimed in Maine Well, Fried of Florida, and Maimed of Maine, the same answer / observation applies to both your questions. You're morons. We suggest that you stick to playing PCs with intelligences of 3. At least that way you'll always be in character.
