[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 3509612, member: 8439"] Since I never said that offensive means moving or moving means offensive, that doesn't bother me. I stated that having a symbol inside a chest's lid would be fine in an earlier post. The chest could be moved willy nilly, and it wouldn't change the defensive nature of the spell. Saying "throwing an active symbol to be a burst effect weapon is an offensive use of the spell" is not a house rule to make symbols immobile. It's simply ruling that that particular movement would be an offensive use of the spell. And the "effect people you hit it with" example is just that - called out as an example. Since you brought up use of the english language, I do not generally take the use of the words "for example" to mean "and here is a comprehensive list of what the former sentance describes." Offensive does not mean moving. But moving something dangerous to someone to force an interaction that will harm them, is offensive. [/QUOTE]
