Make an explosion hurt less the farther away you stand, never zero inside

A blast that either hurts fully or not at all makes rocket jumps and grenades feel like a coin toss, and one that measures from the middle of a big monster hits it far too softly. This entry gives a fade that feels fair for small and large targets alike.

Why this works

A blast reaches the surface of a body, not its centre, so distance should be measured to where the thing is actually touched. A smooth fade keeps near misses and direct hits distinct, and a small minimum makes any touch matter.

When not to use it

Skip it when walls and cover should shield targets: distance alone ignores them, so add a line-of-sight check. For a blast that must be all or nothing, such as a puzzle trigger, use a plain inside-or-outside test.
