[QUOTE="Xahn'Tyr, post: 10726, member: 1525"] If you need to go by the letter of the rules, then keep in mind the following: [i]If it enters a space with a creature, it stops moving for the round and deals 2d6 points of fire damage to that creature.[/i] That is the [b]only[/b] time that it ever directly causes damage to someone. A creature can move through the sphere, or hang out in the same square all day without taking any damage. [i]The surface of the sphere has a spongy, yielding consistency and so does not cause damage except by its flame. It cannot push aside unwilling creatures or batter down large obstacles [/i] Only the [b]surface[/b] of the sphere has any tactile qualities. The interior is probably as substantial as plain old fire. So how hard would it be to break through a thin spongy surface? Not very. Also, if the sphere cannot push aside creatures, I would doubt that creatures could push aside it. The spongy surface just parts and passes around any solid bits. [/QUOTE]
