Hello to everyone:

I'd like to ask something and I'd like to know the "official" answer.

So the question is as follows:

I'm a DM and a player uses Thunderwave against 4 goblins. Let's say none of them pass the saving throw.

Do I need to roll 4 different damage rolls with 2d8 each, or do I need to make just one damage roll and apply the result to all the goblins?

Thanks in advance.
