Message: <blockquote data-quote="Markn" data-source="post: 4772777" data-attributes="member: 21827">Our group must look at forced movement different than everyone else.Here is some examples of how we do forced movement.Player A starts his turn in Stinking Cloud.  He gets hit with a power that slides him 2 squares.  The owner of that power slides him out 1 square and back in with the second square.  We rule that there is no extra damage because he starts in the Cloud before the forced movement and then ends his forced movement back in the cloud.  We don't look at each individual square.  Just his starting and ending position.If the person started outside and got forced moved in, then he would take damage.If the person started outside and got forced move in and out (with the same power, slide 2 for example) he never really was in the cloud and does not take damage.It's simple, elegant and seems pretty balanced.  There is no abuse of any rules, there is no massive damage that makes these spells overpowered and in the case of Grease, this fixes that issue quite simply.  Not sure if this is the RAW of looking at it (I believe it is), but IMHO it is the best way to view forced movement and removes the metagaming of multiple entries of the zone or area with one power/forced move.</blockquote>
