Hey Cog, just reminding you of our conversation.
Quote:00:47 Skunkrocker So apparently
00:47 Skunkrocker I'm told wizards can't target space bears
00:47 Skunkrocker ...why, exactly?
00:49 cogwerks hm
00:49 cogwerks targeted spells don't target critters i guess
00:50 cogwerks why??? whoever coded that stuff was lazy
00:51 Skunkrocker Can it be added or is there an issue?
00:51 Skunkrocker Cause I was totally talking my way out of getting my beard shaved after killing three people if I could just kill the spacebears. Whoops, can't target them with fireballs :v
So yeah, a wizard's round can easily be ruined by random chance if the wizard just happens to run into anything more dangerous than other humans like yetis, wendigos, those new things, xenos, etc.

I could see this getting annoying with passive mobs. I'd totally drag around one just so a wizard couldn't auto target me

How would this work? The wiz can still blast you.

Okay, I get it now.

No thanks! Being able to fireball monkeys is bad enough!

Do not forget the not-really-used Right Click>Cast [spell]
But yeah, this would be evident. Like suggested in another thread, have a prefix before NPC's like, *BOT: Officer Beepsky, and people take priority over critters, so they're closer to the top? I dunno.

Don't allow it to target passive mobs, maybe be a little hard but I know it can be done.

How often does a wizard ever run into a wendigo or a yeti anyways? That's a bit too much of a fringe case to be considered round-ruining, when just getting shoved over can already be a death sentence.
Advice: run away

This made the round where Lison made me ALF the Wizard and sent me to exterminate the cat plague on the station a lot less fun than it should have been
(as did the borg who sat in front of me for ages spamming a hootingium mix and was still doing it when I gave up, went for dinner, ate it and came back from dinner but yes)

How about that lightning bolt spell that was tested for a bit? That could hit critters, and would be a cool spell to pick

owning a wizard with one of my maneaters is among my top 10 ss13 moments.
