I think he meant travel to exotic locales, fight alongside (and against) others, commit crimes, avenge injustices, and wage battles.

Swords + real life :unsure: . What a strange idea.

I always wondered, though: how does a wizard toss a fireball without burning his own hands? If you ever considered that in a real-life application, the dude would toast himself before he ever got the shot off.

A missile's warhead becomes dangerous only after travelling clear of the launcher. Magic spells— do not!

Depends on the arming and fusing circuits, and their settings. The Standard D & D fireball, being absent electronics, tends to behave like a zero milisecond fused impact detonator.

Use at your own risk.

AS a DM, I usually explained the fire of various fire spells not burning the magician's fingers as a side benefit of the boundary layer . . . for those who asked. :rolleyes: They'd still occasionally cast fireballs at targets 15' away, and take full damage -- half if saved. The boundary layer can only help so much.
