Message: <blockquote data-quote="AuraSeer" data-source="post: 1246963" data-attributes="member: 1331">There is no such thing as "half movement" for the hand because it has no speed limit. It is not affected by enclosed spaces or other movement restrictions. When making a bull rush it moves the full amount allowed, even through a 5' tunnel. (If the mental image bothers you, imagine the hand balling itself up to fit through the space.)The hand provides cover in all directions, just like any solid object of its size. The spell explicitly points out that the caster gets cover because that is its purpose, but it doesn't prevent other creatures from benefittting as well. In particular, remember that the target also has cover from the caster.The hand always stays in between the caster and target, regardless of where or how fast the target moves. In the case of the interposing hand, saying it "does not pursue" means that the hand remains a certain distance from the caster. The forceful hand does pursue; that is, it moves away from the caster and toward the target, to the limit of spell range. If an ally happens to be between the forceful hand and its target, the hand will try and move through him; the spell description does not define exactly what happens then, but I would treat it as an Overrun attempt.</blockquote>
