[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 1465677, member: 3424"] First off, welcome to the boards! Not sure what you mean by this. Normally, a creature does not *have* to stop in threatened melee spaces, although it may certainly attract an AOO if it moves though them. No, a swarm is treated as a single creature. Generally, I treat each 5 ft. by 5 ft. section of a swarm as a separate "creature". As long as each section is adjacent to another section, I allow each individual section to move up to the limit of its move (and don't forget that a swarm can take a double move). If one target is behind another relative to the swarm, I would allow one section of the swarm to move through the target in front to attack the one in the rear so that another section of the swarm can attack the target in front. A swarm is generally immune to mind-affecting effects unless it has a hive mind. If it has a hive mind, it saves as a single creature and is either totally affected or not affected at all. You're welcome :). [/QUOTE]
