Burning a Web spell

[Lord Zardoz]

Just a question that are unrelated.

Web: When a web is set on fire, how does the fire spread / consume the webs?
- 5x5 initially, then all adjacent webs burn, expanding until there are no more webs
- Only one 5x5 block, no spreading.
- Other

Edit: Was originally going to ask 2 questions, then found my answer.

We've always played it that the fire spreads into adjacent squares (we usually track it using dice), destroying the web it burns as it goes (and dealing fire damage to those in a burning square).

 

[Kmart Kommando]

Does a real web burn all away, or just where you burn it?

 

[Starglim]

The first option for my group.

- 5x5 initially, then all adjacent webs burn, expanding until there are no more webs

This is how I handle it, at the rate of one expanding "ring" per round. (At some point, the web will likely no longer have opposing anchor points, at which point it simply collapses, of course.)

Does a real web burn all away, or just where you burn it?

In real life, just where you burn it.

 

[Thurbane]

In real life, just where you burn it.

I'd say that's pretty variable - I've seen some a little resistant to burning, and others go up like they were soaked in petrol. I HATE spiders, and have more than a little experience with burning the buggers!

I'd go with just where you burn it, though if you think the spell is too powerful (some do), you might want to adjust the burning mechanic to compensate.
