Fireball is a hell of a drug.
Fireball: Not even once.
You're talking mad shit for someone in Fireball range
Have you ever seen someone's brain after prolonged Fireball exposure? Keep that nasty shit away from me!
I now perceive the world in 40 foot radiuses. When I walk into a room I immediately assess the potential xp gain of a fireball. When I choose a table at a restaurant I ensure that I am outside the blast radius of the point any logical wizard would target. When planning my wedding I ensured there would be a counter spell prepared by every member of the wedding party (I distributed enchanted flasks to the martial classes.) My home is a series of right angled hallways and all bedrooms are only accessible by ladder.
This is from a copy pasta, isn't it?
If it wasn't, it is now
I toyed with allowing my players to use the fireball by volume incorrect rule (as it's not all that well defined in the 3.5 ed we play)
It is as dangerous to the caster as the enemies, especially in a group that neglects to check the ceiling height of dungeons
