If it were me, I'd roll once per target, except in cases where it's affecting a very large number of targets (which is the rare case)... But since I tend to play online games, rather than tabletop ones, rolling a large number of dice and seeing the totals is very easy. Most would probably just roll once, and go with that...

Seeker95 01-23-05, 09:13 AM	For area effect spells (fireball, et al), roll once. For multiple target spells (magic missile, et al), roll for each target. For targeted spells that simply might affect more than one target (burning hands), I would only roll once.
