[QUOTE="Mongolia Jones, post: 4376480, member: 71559"] Correct! But I can see that it has the potential to disturb many people sensibilities. One could say: [I]"You mean to say that you can get "pushed" into a Wall of Fire and sit there till an ally "pulls" you out and you take absolutely no damage? That makes no sense at all!"[/I] My reply: [I]"Yes, definitely possible!"[/I] And here's how you would envision it... We all agree that everyone's turns happens at the same time. You're character's 6 second turn is supposed to happen simultaneously with everyone else's 6 second turn. Those that act first due to high initiative rolls act ever so slightly before others with lower initiative rolls. (Note that no one ever acts a full 6 seconds before anyone else, except for in surprise rounds). So in the case of being pushed/pulled into and out of a Wall of Fire without damage, the combat can be explained as such: -Guy "pushes/pulls/slides" a kobold into a Wall of Fire -Ally of kobold catches kobold just at the moment before he is flung into the inferno and "pushes/pulls/slides" kobold away to safety before any harm is caused. Just like so many things are abstract in DnD, so is combat. If you can justify an elf with twice the hit points of a Rhino or a Wizard's intelligence score increasing his own armor class, then I'm pretty sure you can justify my Wall of Fire scenario above.
