[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 3208443, member: 2011"] No. In case A, if there is a different path around the wall that goes through a corner that does not have cover, then the Spread goes around in that path and ignores the cover. In case B, if there is a different path around / through the web that goes through a corner that does not have cover (and still has gone through no squares until that point that do not have cover), then the Spread goes around in that path and ignores the cover. The difference between your POV and mine is that I consider the cover to work based on the origin point and you consider it to work based on each square it gets to, hence, resetting cover for the next square over. From your POV, the fact that this massive underbrush of Webbing which stops all attacks at 20 feet does nothing to hinder a Spread (as if a Spread goes right through the cover, yes, I know you do not view it as going through, but that is the result). If I burst a very large water balloon over a tree top canopy, it hits the leaves and disperses. Some water might get through and someone under the canopy might get damp, but they won't get drenched as if the canopy wasn't there. And that is what I think the intent of the Web cover bonus is supposed to represent. That is the difference between an origin point interpretation which allows for more and more Web to slowly build up the cover until it is finally total cover at 20 feet and one where the Fireball Spread is like intelligent tendrils that snake between the web strands.
