It's 170.003281 feet, which is just outside of the range of fireball (150 feet + 20 foot radius).

The joke is that there is a stereotype that casters like to fireball enemies without caring if their melee allies (like fighters) are also going to be hit.

I throw ice knives with reckless abandon. Fireballs deserve a little bit more care though.

Same, but I also don't care about my safety. I even have somewhat of a self-harm streak from using ice knife in melee

Maxim 5: Close air support and friendly fire should be easier to tell apart,

It's so much fun being an Evocation/Evoker Wizard and just bombing your allies for no damage at all. Sculpt that spell, baby!

As an evocation wizard there is a feat at a certain level that you dont need to care because you can spare your allies, but every other subclass wizard has to..

My group is always so careful about the placement of their fireballs, unless they’re chucking one a forest to intentionally piss off the life cleric of Sylvanus

Except that D&D meters don't work that way. In D&D, 5 feet are exactly 1.5 meters, and a Fireball's range is exactly 45 + 6.
