Re: [HOE] Burst Radius/Damage question

Ah, ok.  That's the problem.  The group we usually have play its typically
how much damage in each radius and applied as massive damage since its a
huge explosion.  I think that's what was going wrong.  I stand with an idiot
stare on my face right now.

Thanks
