[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7555224, member: 22779"] Ahh, I see what you mean. I wouldn't interpret it like that. You step through the wall of fire, you step through the wall of fire. End of story. So, you take the 5d8 for starting in the wall, step out (regardless of how many layers you step through) and take no more damage. Why would I interpret it your way? That would be ridiculously overpowered. You only take damage from a wall spell once per turn. Seems a pretty simple solution to me rather than trying to futz about with how many times did you walk through a "layer". It's all one wall. It only takes damage when "it enters the wall for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there." Note that "first time on a turn" bit. You can jump back and forth through a wall of fire multiple times on your turn but you only take damage once for entering the wall. And, even a bent wall is still all one wall, so, you only take damage once. [/QUOTE]
