Should I feel bad?

Only if you aren't a psycho or as said an US soldier
Ayden Fisher
You should feel bad but not guilty.
Kids died and that was your fault, but you had no way to know and everyone trying to guilt you with that is an asshole.
Make it a learning experience for your character and have your rogue scout the place more/avoid big AoE if you don't know about what collateral damage you may cause.

No, but your DM should, that's not how Fireball works.
No. You killed terrorists and more terrorists. Nothing wrong with that.

Does anybody have that one "We blew up bus with school children in Shadowrun. It was the only choice." screencap?
Owen Garcia
Collateral damage is one of those weird ethical quandaries. You do everything in your power to prevent it but it is sometime unavoidable. Even if you do your due diligence and do everything you can to minimize it, some people feel you can never justify harm to innocent bystanders under any circumstances. But in the heat of the moment there is often little choice.
Should you feel remorse? Probably.
Did you do the right thing? Probably.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner

It sucks but whatever, collateral happens quite often in real life too See?
As long as you kill the bad guys you're good to go.

Fuck off to your safe space, faggots.

of course you should feel bad you fucking idiot, didn't they teach you to only use fireball in a sterile environment? Hodgepodge's Secondary Damage Law applies every time you use magic you dong
