[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5145181, member: 71571"] Here's the question; what happens if he has allies but you want to slide him somewhere else? The answer's very simple: No, you need to go to his allies, otherwise that entire power's text about it has no real effect. What you -can- do, however (and it's kind of surprising no one's mentioned this): You -can- slide him adjacent to a defeated ally of his. That's perfectly legitimate. That said, this is clearly a multi-enemy-is-good power. If the player waits until after the enemies are defeated in order to use it, that's not exactly cool for him to start the 'But I want to use my cool powers!' argument; he had plenty of opportunity in the battle already. While I feel that some generosity is a good idea for DM interpretation in practice, in this specific instance, no. He's decided not to use his tool until after it stopped being useful. I don't feel it's my job to make up for what is essentially, a player mistake. And, who cares, he can use it next battle. [/QUOTE]
