Summary 0000066: Monsters suiciding with fireball
Description In a recent game I had two different deep elf mages cast Fireball on me while within the spell's blast range. In both cases they killed themselves from doing this. Monsters really shouldn't catch themselves in their own attacks unless the damage they'd risk from doing so would be minimal.

beam.foe_ratio is too low, presently 60.

Hellfire (a similar AOE spell) has a foe_ratio of 80.

Testing revealed that a foe_ratio value of '70' is sufficient to fix the problem in 1v1 combat between the player by eliminating fireball as an available spell.

Either 70 or 80 should be used to correct the bug:
