Oh crap I missed this. I apologize. But no it wouldn't work. She'd be caught in the blast even if she is prone and tied up and but she'd automatically save since she's prone already and I assume you're not aiming for her. But if you do this she might be cross with you and she would have a death saving throw failed on her ticks.  Side note, she'd catch three targets. One is the held bugbear (no save), the other is the one tying up Selena (can save) and the last is the dire wolf on guard duty (can save).<br/><br/>Which brings me to something else. You can still die but its<em>much</em>tougher to die because you won't make death saves every round. Without harassment you will auto succeed. However you can be killed by massive damage, or if someone makes you lose all your death saves. So don't go thinking to cast fireballs upon fallen allies just to hit a bunch of enemies or such. Not without potential consequences. There still has to be a risk of death no matter how small or how stupidly it comes about.<br/><br/>Does this work for people?
