[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 3210841, member: 31734"] The problem is that there are [B]no blocked squares[/B] in a web. There's only an accumulation of squares that result in blockage. Only when an attack goes from point A to B can you accumulate those squares. That happens with an arrow, burst, or ray, but not a spread. In the wall scenario, there's no blockage because the cover is then recalculated from a different position. I'm arguing nothing differently for the web scenario. Let's look at what happens with a spread area. So the fireball erupts and how do you figure how far it reaches (to its maximum radius)? Do you (a) skip from the origin to any specific point (ignoring what's in between) or (b) go from square to square, "taking into account any turns the spell effect takes?" Interestingly, the following rules on spreads are not pertinent because it's for an Effect, not an Area. Doesn't this mean that any references to it (for area spells like fireball) are not correct?
