[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 3211112, member: 31734"] I just had a thought. Wouldn't it be valid to think of web as providing soft cover? I see nothing that identifies it as hard cover and the fact that it requires an accumulation of webs to even provide cover probably justifies it as soft cover. That would render this discussion moot, wouldn't it? ...and don't for things like movement? The answer's in how you ask the question. ;) How does a spread work? Does it work from point A to point D or from A->B->C->D. For your interpretation to work, it has to be the former, ignoring the effects of moving (the spread rules allude to this both times for effects and area, using the word 'distance'). The section on effects even says, "as with movement." So, if I move through a web (ignoring hampered movement effects), do I ever try to move through cover? No. Well, the key is that the web has no cover at all for the first/adjacent/next 5ft. This means that the spread never actually goes through spaces with cover. I said this before, that a web has no blocked squares, only an accumulation of them. It's this accumulation that makes the cover of a web irrelevant to a spread area/effect. [/QUOTE]
