[QUOTE="deathdonut, post: 4129477, member: 62072"] I apologize for my tone there it came off both condescending and arguementative which is pretty difficult to pull off. I was thinking in terms of a traditional campaign DM (which I am) and not that of the event rules arbitrator (which I am not). I actually happen to like rules arbitration in most situations, but there's a switch in my head that turns to 'keep them fuzzy' mode when I start thinking of Roleplaying Rules. Otherwise, my inner power-gamer triest to bust out of his shell. If I were to answer the topic in the spirit of the rules-lawyer, I would agree that players wanting to use this spell as an area effect would have to target a medium sized motionless object (the ground in that square) and would still have to roll to hit it. A miss would result in exactly zero effect. I would hate to see even an event GM go by this ruling, but I admit I'm not sure what their limitations are when it comes to flexibility. In any case, sorry for the tone. I obviously needed coffee. [/QUOTE]
