[QUOTE="Belbarid, post: 4612700, member: 28213"] Two answers- one from each of my personalities. :) Lazy DM: Assume that the cone is perpendicular to the caster. Yes, this means that (likely) much of the cone will be wasted by going into the ground, but it's easy. From there some easy-to-Google geometry gives you the height, and whether or not said rogue is in trouble. Bastard DM: Assume that the caster wastes as little of the cone as possible, so it is cast at an angle to keep as much of it as possible from getting blown into the ground. Rouge makes his Reflex save, takes no damage, and (if I'm playing the rogue) has a heart-to-heart talk with the caster on the virtues of watching his fields of fire. [/QUOTE]
