[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8482864, member: 7030563"] That is not the normal way to interpret that sentence. This sentance means: The creature must take the dash action. The creature must move .... unless there is nowhere to move. That would be the normal interpretation of that sentence and it would be consistent with the way wording is typically done on spells etc. If another action was allowed they would do it like they did the turned effect, where they say what other actions can be used if he can't move. Regardless of the odd interpretation, you can always position yourself so he can move [I]somewhere[/I] by at least 5 feet. If he is trapped in a room against the far wall, think of a chess board and move to the verticle directly opposite of him then he can move one or more squares sideways to be a little bit further away from you and triggering this. The only way this would not work is if he was in a 5 foot wide hallway. As I said though, I do not think that is the intended interpretation. Moreover remeber that if he was holding a weapon it was dropped. [/QUOTE]
