Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 286139" data-attributes="member: 3929">I would have to say that KarinsDad must be taking the pi-s*.But, just in case, since we are talking syntax here...di'a'met'ri'cal, adj. 1. of, pertaining to, or along a diameter. 2. in direct opposition; being at opposite extremes; complete: diametrical opposites; a diametrical difference.Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary** p. 547***Web Spell, PHB p. 272Web creates a many layered mass of strong, sticky strands...These masses must be anchored to two or more solid and diametrically opposed points...You cannot have more than two complete opposite extremes on a diameter, and thus, by the wording of this spell, you can create a situation which is impossibe to exist according to the English language! If there is more than one diameter, those points cease to be opposites: in this case the spell crumples (anchored to...opposed points).OBVIOUSLY, the only way to stop a Web spell from crumpling is to contain it to one dimension: one diameter.But, LAWS NO!  That can't happen! It says in the spell description that Web creates a "multi-layered mass"! Has no-one noticed this clear blunder by WTC? Writing a spell whose description is not only unclear, but contradictory! To think this awkward wording has been around since first edition!Until Matlock gets here to sort this out, I am going to have to declare this spell broken.*Uninted Kingdom slang, not an insult.**This would be the Updated Revised Deluxe Edition.***Emphasis lexographer's.</blockquote>
