[QUOTE="Nail, post: 1369997, member: 224"] <takes deep breath> ;) (checks SRD) Right. And the "-20" is a once per turn decision, rather than once per attack. The -20 applies until the bears next turn, at which point it can change it, if desired. While it has that -20, it retains its Dex and can move normally. Which is pretty cool, IMHO. So the bear could both try to damage (an attack, standard action) and move. As for the flaming sphere: I *think* the bear (and any large creature) gets the short end of the stick here. Ouch indeed! I'm not sure I (as a DM) like that. Hmmmmmmm. .....but as a player, that's great! Either way, the elf is sharing the space with the bear (just as a rider is with his mount), and so the elf may also take damage from the flaming sphere. As for the web only covering 3/4ths of the Bear: .....tell me again why this is a 2nd level spell? Wow. (Manditory Bad Guy Equipment(tm): a magic item that casts Web or one that casts Freedom of Movement). Yep, the bear's still entangled. Yeesh. [/QUOTE]
