We have had a rather interesting encounter this week that showed us one of the nastiest effects in the game. The group had to fight through a zone of darkness. A game rule has been brought to my attention and I would like the group to voice their opinion on the subject.
If ranged attacks get a -5 shooting into darkness and melee attacks get a -5 while fighting in darkness, should an Area effect ranged power (Area burst 2 in 10) suffer the penalties other attacks do if the caster is targeting a square that is within the darkness?
I would like to hear all your opinions on this one.
