[QUOTE="Kordeth, post: 4621249, member: 5036"] Neither. The enemy takes damage when it enters the cloud, whether that movement was willing or not, on the enemy's turn or otherwise. You can, for example, push a goblin into the cloud and it will take damage. You cannot, however, move the cloud over the target and damage it (until the target starts its next turn within the cloud, at least). If moving the cloud over a target counted as the target entering the cloud, then by the same logic if you moved away from an enemy it would count as the enemy leaving a square adjacent to you and you'd get to take an OA for running away. :) Strictly by RAW, if you have a power that can slide the target multiple squares, you can ping-pong enemies in and out of the cloud for multiple "hits." If you feel that's overpowering, consider limiting the damage to once per opponent's turn and once on your own turn. Personally, I haven't seen the tactic in play to be able to judge whether it's an actual abuse or just an on-paper one. [/QUOTE]
