[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2837236, member: 2011"] What part of "when the spell is cast" is not crystal clear? The spell ONLY has a chance of completely entangling the creature when the spell is cast and at no other point in time. Your "house rule" extrapolation of the general rule is not listed as a rule anywhere. Best? How about the spell says that a save is only required at casting time is the best interpretation? How about the spell says that creatures moving through have to follow set rules as defined by the spell is the best interpretation? The spell and ONLY the spell is the source for what is meant by "being subject to". You have no rules to support your position. No text that indicates that a saving throw is required except when the spell is cast. Zip, zero, nil rules support. Obviously, your interpretation is far from best since it ignores what is written in the spell. Look at the wording in other spells. Blade Barrier: Web does not have a saving throw for whenever passing through statement because Web does not work this way. Repulsion: Web does not have this type of wording because Web does not work this way. "When the spell is cast" means "when the spell is cast". It does not mean "when the spell is cast and when a creature enters". This is your own spin and nobody else here agrees with you. Even the spell explicitly disagrees with you. :p [/QUOTE]
