Hey all,
Just ran DW at NerdNYC's Recess event. It went great, thanks to many tips from this board. Something came up that I thought was very fun at the table, but now want to clarify ruleswise.
Our rugged Ranger got overrun by a rat horde after he rolled a 5 trying to Parlay with them to get them to move. Covered in pox-ridden rats and being bitten all over, the Wizard thought to cast Magic Missile. Now, he was casting it AT the Ranger. He stipulated that he was casting a dozen tiny missiles to hit the rats. The Ranger asked if he could Defy Danger by turning sideways so they would only hit the rats. I said sure, but if the Wizard doesn't roll a 10+ and if you don't pass your roll, you're hit too.
Well, the Wizard hit a 12 and the Ranger a 10. So I said, done! Smells like bbq rat in here, but no wound for the Ranger.
Does this seem like the right use of the rules? Or should that have be a Wizard only roll? It was fun, so I'm not overly concerned, but I am curious.
