Indirect Combat spells and targeting, Simple question: Options

[Dread Polack]

Should I ignore the FAQ and say that firing off an indirect combat spell work just like shooting a gun or tossing a grenade. That is to say that you don't need to pick a person to anchor it at, and it simply hits everyone in the area, subject to normal defensive actions.

This might work better in my campaign where I allow characters to abort their next action to roll Reaction + Dodge and dive a meter away from the blast to reduce the damage they take. There is no standard defense roll. I'd allow the same action to be taken in defense of an area effect indirect combat spell.
