It makes for good entertainment to apply thorough logic to fantasy (see Terry Pratchett) but it tends to spoil fun quickly!If there was no chance to make the save in a 5-ft-corridor in the first place, the whole 2-people-sharing-a-5-ft-square qould be moot. But, as a fact, it is possible to make a save under that circumstances. Imagine they lay flat on the floor or just find the areas where the fire is not so hot or where there's a breach in the fireball (I don't think its a solid ball of fire, it's more like a big burst, and they're not regular).In fact I know several stories where a DM killed players with physics. The fireball in the small cave where it consumed all the air and such like. I just isn't fun to play with such a DM. It's all supposed to be a game, no representation of real life.In fact, it doesn't say that you must have something to duck behind, or really much space to move, it just says that you have to be able to move and may not be confined overmuch (such as in a corridor just wide enough for you to fit in). That's rule enough for me.</blockquote>
