[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7393561, member: 1465"] Do we actually have a RAW to imply that the grid is fixed? I don't use a grid so I am not sure... it just occurred to me that a [B]fixed[/B] grid is obviously convenient, but perhaps not strictly required by the RAW, although the books normally refer to moving diagonally on a grid (which kind of implies that the grid must be fixed indeed). A check is better than advantage on ST, IMHO, because the latter only works if there actually is a ST, and advantage sometimes implies something more than just a better chance. However, my general opinion is that this situation is a corner case, both because very few offensive spells use a [I]cube[/I] area (most cubes are creation spells or illusions) and because orienting the cube would be useful only in some occasions... so I'd very much prefer not to add more rules here, just allow/disallow without any extra check.
