03-09-05, 06:03 PM When a PC casts a area of effect spell like Fireball on a Large (10'x10') or larger creature. How much of its area or body has to be within the area of effect in order for it to be affected by the spell?

How much of its area or body has to be within the area of effect in order for it to be affected by the spell?afaik, since a creature is considered to 'occupy' all the squares it is in, an area affect that affects even one square that the creature is in should also affect the creature. Similar to how you can injure (and even kill) a creature if you can target any part of it.
