I'm a little confused by the interaction of Primary Target and Area weapons - how does the attack roll factor into it?

I get that a hit will cause failure and suppression for the target (unless they get a crit success). Does it effect the Primary Target damage in any way? ie. Does a miss mean that the Area Fire damage isn't taken or reduced in some way? Or is still dependent on the subsequent Reflex save for both? Or does each (Primary Target damage and Area Fire) require a separate Reflex save from the Primary Target?

Think of them as 2 separate attacks

2. Area damage. Role area damage once: all targets in the area roll a saving throw vs that damage. If the Primary Target was hit by the primary attack, apply the saving throw adjustment to the primary target's saving throw.

Fun little observation, unless I missed something - Out of all the player d20 rolls in this combat, only 4 have been above 10.

On the flip side, all my GM nat 20s and 19s have been on flat check vs Concealed, which has saved you from some critical hits.

So the takeaway from this is that dropping a fog cloud loses you encounters. Got it.

I suppose it matters what order you roll in, but the dice will likely figure that out too.
