[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5750833, member: 6669384"] Yes, you are. I'm not asking about the effect of damage, I'm asking about the effects of blow-back by a wind effect, if the effect covers only part of a large swarm. Does it move the whole swarm, even the part that's not being blown? That makes no sense at all. Does it leave the swarm unmoved, despite the fact that the component creatures are sitting in a 75 mph windstorm? That makes no sense either. Option 3 would be that it moves part of the swarm, effectively dispersing it. That makes wind-sheer effects into insta-kill for swarms, and while that makes a certain amount of sense, it nerfs swarms down to nothing. In our case, several CR 12 foes potentially taken out by a single 3rd level spell., one that does almost no damage. We have three potential answers, all supported by the rules to one extent or another, without an actual good answer among them. [/QUOTE]
