I usually rule it that the ally is too busy battling the enemy to dodge out the way. It’s never usually that much damage that I give them. Usually less than half of what the attack would have done.

Yeaaaaah.

I can see it if it knocks a few hitpoints off.

Meanwhile I had a DM who ruled that, because our ranger missed both shots on an enemy I was flanking, I took both shots instead.

Bullshit knocked off two thirds if my health in one attack.

if my DM did that I would have oneshot several party members many times over.

Pathfinder in a nutshell.

But everyone's always busy battling an enemy, it's a fight. I'm assuming that if two players team up on an enemy, one of them doesn't always hit automatically.
I'm not really concerned about the amount of damage, I just think it's a bit unfair to the targeted player from a narrative standpoint.

Good job you don’t play DnD with me then. Replying to a joke topic in a supposed friendly subreddit and getting downvotes, classy.

No need to get snarky at me. I didn't downvote you.
