[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 4265642, member: 13107"] So ... an actual gelatinous cube ... if mostly water ... and if filling an entire 10' cube ... weighs about 64,000 pounds. I think that in part most folks have a gut feel that a gelatinous cube is, well, dang huge. And, that it fills most of an entire cube. One way this gets to be a problem is when one player, who is really trying to imagine a gelatinous cube, thinks, naw, that is not possible, and doesn't try the maneuver, while another says, hey, them's the rules, and goes ahead with it. I would be OK with a tumble (or a shift) past a cube as an epic difficulty tumble check, except that the new rules take away the DC's for actions and make them automatic. One of my beefs has been that opposed actions (your tumble against my abililty to track you, your concentration while casting a spell against my ability to take a smack at you) should actually be opposed actions, not actions against a fixed difficulty, or automatic.
