[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7556057, member: 15882"] Wait. Have I misunderstood the question? Are you saying you want a lightning bolt to target the line down the middle of a 2 adjacent grids? I wouldn't allow that. Choose your line and the bolt goes along fully inside the squares. The diagram in Xanathar's does not show the lightning bolt going down the line. It shows two rows of dice and each die is fully contained inside a square. -The first two images in diagram 2.6 are of a 5 foot wide 'line effect' on a straight grid angle and then on a diagonal angle. -The second two images in diagram 2.6 are of a 10 foot wide 'line effect' on a straight grid angle and on a diagonal angle. It is not showing you 4 ways to adjudicate a 5 foot wide line effect. Tokens can't finish their movement between squares. If they don't have enough movement to make it to the next square (like if their movement was impeded by terrain and they had 2.5 feet left), they have to stop in the closest square, not half-way between. Spells work the same way. I thought you were asking how to adjudicate a 10 foot line. [/QUOTE]
