[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 9859932, member: 59057"] I think moving away to the best of their ability is quite clear and not really prone to discussion. I'd never force my players into jumping into a pit if there are other paths. The idea is getting away. If in doubt, they run towards the direction where they came from. Conclusion: The spell is ambiguous. One has to decide: straight line or around obstacles. Ability usage or not Are you allowed to jump or not (jump into pits or over pits or over caltrops). Otherwise you can come into weir situations: you might get stuck in a u-shaped wall behind you when there is an easy way around. Probably the best course of action is finding a consensus in your group and try to be as consistent as possible. The spell is just not as clear as we wished ("approach" is much more clearly stated... most direct route). [/QUOTE]
