I wanted to get an objective opinion from a few of you please. I have started a Savage Tide campaign...play by post. The companions only met for the first time when commissioned for their task at dinner.
Bottom line....the gnome spell-caster just cast a Color Spray amidst the battle onboard the Blue Nixie. Shouldn't I include his own group members in the number of hit die affected by the Color Spray spell ???? When cast into an ensuing melee...then all people within the given cone are possibly affected correct? Not just the foes? Thank you in advance.
i dont know why you reference a number of hit dice, but other than that, yes, anyone in the 15' cone should be affected if they fail their fort save.

Yes. Everyone in the cone is subject to the spell's effects, just like everyone in a fireball is subject to taking fire damage.

I think he did because the effects are dependent on HD. From the SRD:
"A vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from your hand, causing creatures to become stunned, perhaps also blinded, and possibly knocking them unconscious.Each creature within the cone is affected according to its Hit Dice.
2 HD or less: The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)
3 or 4 HD: The creature is blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round.
5 or more HD: The creature is stunned for 1 round.
Sightless creatures are not affected by color spray."
Note also it is a WIll save, not Fort. But everyone is affected, as you say.
you know, i just looked at that and wondered why i put fort save, especially since i had looked up the spell right before i posted that. wow, i had a horrible moment of fog there.

Must have been that gnome again and his rampant color sprays...good thing you have more than 5 HD!
