[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6112960, member: 40413"] [sblock=Systole]I'm sure we could have a lengthy discussion about this (and I'm willing to do so in the General Discussion thread or somewhere else if you want). ;) IMO, entangle is a very good spell held in check by the limitation that plants must be present. The range of interpretation stretches from if there are plants anywhere within the area that the whole area is under the effects to only squares with plants are affected. I honestly hadn't considered the broadest interpretation until CH cast his spell in this combat. I did some reading, did some thinking, but decided in the end that there must be affected plants within a creature's square or within limited reach. Arguably a tree's branches could reach in through the broken windows and roots up through the floor but that's a little bit farther from the way I've usually played it and more than I'm willing to accept right now. I'll continue to mull it over (which, I know, does you no good in [i]this[/i] combat) and it is entirely possible I'll loosen my interpretation of the spell somewhat in the future. And, so you're not left uncertain how I'll handle it in the future and whether entangle will be useful under those limitations I'll tell you that this is the only encounter you'll have until you reach Sumbru and that in an old city like Sumbru with its odd atmospheric effects entangle will be entirely ineffective.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
