Quote:FireballFrom the DSF Buglist:
Type: fire
Min. Damage: Rec(slvl, 4 + 2·clvl)
Max. Damage: Rec(slvl, 40 + 2·clvl)
Quick Min. Damage: (4 + 2·clvl) · (9/8)^slvl
Quick Max. Damage: (40 + 2·clvl) · (9/8)^slvl
Real Damage: Rec(slvl, 2·(Rnd[10]+Rnd[10]+clvl) + 4)
Speed: 16 + 2·slvl (max 50)
Blockable: Yes
Note:
* A fireball causes splash damage in adjacent hexes as well as in the target hex. Splash damage is equal to the damage of the fireball itself.
* If the fireball has traveled over some obstacle on its way to its target, the splash damage normally does not occur.
* You can block either the fireball or the splash, but not both.
Quote:FIREBALLThat makes it as good as sure that it doesn't do '64/64 splash damage twice to area', but only once. I don't know how much splash damage it is supposed to be doing, though.
Fireball actually does far more damage than listed in the spell book, as a Fireball hit causes initial damage to the target and then splash damage on top of it.
Splash damage from Fireballs (possibly other spells) is removed when traveling over objects like spikes, chests, etc. Try casting a Fireball into a pack of Snow Witches behind a spike or something, and only the direct damage will be applied; one witch will be hit, the rest won't be scratched.
