WHY.

Actually why does fireball even knock out anyway since wizard is kind of inspired by D&D Fireballs just do fire damage

lag bro

You were a victim of RNG. Explosions (Light and heavy) have a chance of knocking the victim unconscious. His roll turned out luckier than yours!

basically what gunhog said.

Projectile explosions are weird, sometimes they explode on the victim's tile, Often the tile next to them, and sometimes they just fuck you

Be glad the fireball button doesn't stay on any more. That was just a guarantee to fireball yourself in the face while trying to open a door.

I dont like the blindness

This is entirely intended! AoE projectile spells, such a fireball, will target adjacent mobs. It was initially a holdover from the dumbfire version which also had a radius check. But, it is also amusing to see wizards blow themselves up with the fireball by using it at point blank. I like the risk involved in using this spell! The fireball will look for any excuse to explode, so please consider keeping your distance before you cast it!

Note: The blindness is due to the explosion rolling a knockdown stun on you.

I never use fireball for this reason. If I wanted to roll a dice on if the enemy dies or I do I'd just buy summon guns.

We literally just had a fireball thread here a few weeks ago.

TL;DR don't fireball people point-blank like a idiot
