You deal with the saves on each char's action through to the caster action. Anyone in the barrier at that point takes auto damage at the start of there action from then on. Why this way? Because it is an action and choice to leave the area. If someone says " I want to pick up the vorpal sword I dropped and they move to the edge of the barrier " I would say sure go ahead you can do that, then roll the damage.Seriously this is how I se it:The next char in the barrier gets asked what they will do.answer is "move to edge of barrier like my ass is on fire". If they make the save then they moved quick enogh to avoid the blade as it is manifesting in this first round. I they don't save then they still ran but got hit. If they don't leave immidiatly then they take full damage no save. What they can do then depends on what the move intailed. If they reamin in, they take full damage and then full damage again and again untill they leave. This makes escaping the barrier a REAL EVENT THAT HAS TO BE ROLEPLAYED.  E.G other chars may be on the edge waiting with spears set vs charge $%^^%&% .....joke but possibleYou may even get held back by someone with spell resistance!!the possibilities go on and on and are fun.</blockquote>
