[QUOTE="Lasher Dragon, post: 2102529, member: 26634"] That's the thing, you have to have 20 feet of web for [I]total[/I] cover, anything less and it's just cover... so by those rules we kinda see it this way: when you cast a fireball into a web, it goes in until it reaches that point at which there is full cover (20 feet in, basically the center of the web) and detonates. Maybe we are doing this wrong, I don't know. I still contend that for a 2nd level spell, it is extremely powerful.
