[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 3208903, member: 31734"] But, it does change. When you create a path for the spread in case A (wall), aren't you doing the exact same thing as creating a path for case B (web) under my interpretation? Consider the following diagram for case A (and edits may follow as I try to get it to display right): [code] | F...|T ...[/code] The dots are the path of the spread effect (e.g fireball) to the target T around the shown wall. Isn't this path nondeterministic by the spread effect? If so, the spread doesn't "take the turn" until such a time as the wall is encountered. This supports my interpretation when you apply the above to case B (web). Since the spread is nondeterministic, each "segment" is not hindered by cover. The corollary is that if the spread is deterministic, which is what is required for you to discount my interpretation, then the spread cannot turn the corner. I.e. we draw a line between F and T to determine cover, whether it's a web or wall. You should not use deterministic for one case and nondeterministic for another. PS. It's not my goal to attempt a purely logical reasoning for this. I do think that my interpretation is the one supported (more) by the rules. [/QUOTE]
