Title: 5e Drain Question
Post by: Jarrod on <03-22-20/2228:12>

In 5e, you have to resist magic drain if you fail to cast the spell? Like 0 successes for a Fireball?

Well you can't "fail" to cast a spell. All that can happen is you fail to affect the target. In the case of 0 successes on a Fireball, it's just off target and you have to resolve scatter.

So naturally, you still have to deal with drain.
