3. I'm making a skill similar to Bone Cage or Thick of the Fight that is suppose to give you +1 Aero for each shocked or stunned character (not counting you) within the radius. It works except that if I cast it with no one around it always still gives +1 Aero. I guess I can reword it if this is a limitation to AOE_BOOST
As far as I know spells wit AOE_BOOST always count the character himself as 1. E.g. Bone Cage will always grant some physical armor since the character himself is counted as 1 corpse.
