[QUOTE="Tanuki, post: 3645141, member: 37053"] The party sorcerer in my game has picked up Benign Transposition. For those without the SC, it's a first level spell that allows the caster to switch the positions of two willing allies on the battlefield. A question arose in my game. A PC was knocked unconscious. The sorcerer wanted to transpose the unconscious ally to bring him to safety. I allowed it. But I'm beginning to question that decision. I looked and was unable to find a definition of "willing." How would you rule? Also, the sorcerer has used the spell to transpose an ally that is grappled. I allowed it and ruled that the ally "swapped in" is automatically grappled. Is that a reasonable use of the spell? The two rulings together resulted in a little weirdness (or cleverness, depending on your point of view) in yesterday's game. A PC fell from a cliff into water, where he was grappled by a dinosaur. One PC jumped into the water and began attacking the dinosaur. Meanwhile, the sorcerer kept rotating the other PCs through the dinosaurs grapple so that none of them would be killed by it. (It had the damage output to kill any of them in two chomps.) Thanks for your responses. [/QUOTE]
