[QUOTE="Forged Fury, post: 6718625, member: 95059"] The DMG may actually have good rules for this, I neglected to check last night. I'll take a look at it when I get home and see what it suggests. I know they have ALL KINDS of crazy cover rules for squares and hexes that I don't want to consider, LOL. ETA: Oops, I meant to include a reply to why I was looking at it that somehow changed to something else. To be honest, I'm not sure how the rules are supposed to work. The PHB pretty much goes out of its way to avoid dealing with grid-type language, so it comes down to DM fiat of "is this target covered by enough of what the spell it covers says it should be" for edge cases. Since the PHB avoids grid discussion, the whole "one square is 5 feet" deal isn't even there. I recall AoE effects and how they worked back in 1st and 2nd edition when grids were introduced and I recall them generally looking like what I'm suggesting. [/QUOTE]
