[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 1597453, member: 1331"] Forget about whether the spells are simultaneous or not. It doesn't matter. If you're subject to two [i]reduce person[/i] spells, you must save against each individually. The effects do not stack, they overlap, and only the stronger reducing works. However, even though multiple [i]reduce[/i]s seem not to do anything, you must still keep track of how many saves you failed. If you get hit with an area [i]dispel magic[/i] for instance, one of the reduce effects may go away, but the other will still be working and you will not return to normal size. Yes. The [i]web[/i] spell will entangle only creatures who are in the area when the spell is cast. Creatures who later move into the area of effect, say to attack or assist others, do not themselves become entangled. A monstrous spider's sheet of sticky webbing is different, and does affect creatures who walk into it. If you enter a square with spiderwebbing, you are "trapped as though by a successful web attack"-- which is to say, entangled as by a net, with no save at all. You must make a separate save for every distinct effect, regardless of whether they have the same result. If George the Graceful sets off a complicated trap and is hit with a tanglefoot bag, a net, a spider's web, a [i]web[/i] spell, and an [i]entangle[/i] spell, he must make a separate save for each. By the book, multiple entangling effects do not stack, they overlap, just like multiple paralyzes or blindings or whatever. The book does not specify, but reading between the lines, it appears that they're planar. That explains why they're difficult to spot. If a monstrous spider wants to trap flying prey, it can hang the web vertically, on a border between squares. For prey on the ground, it can spin the web horizontally, to trap creatures who step into it. [/QUOTE]
