And I like it a lot better than All-or-Nothing's everyone or no one effect.

For an AoE affliction, this is a good way to simplify handling large areas. Rolling for every NPC would get tedious otherwise. Kind of like how I would only have a player roll for damage once for an explosive attack.

But players will get upset if they get knocked out without a resistance roll. Since rolling is distributed over multiple people, tedium is less of a problem. So I would only apply your rule to mook NPCs. Boss NPCs and NPCs that are alone in the AoE should still get a resistance roll.
