Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 2218343" data-attributes="member: 2525">I don't think that would work, as by that ruling you would move MORE if you stayed in the web than if you exited the web.  I'd think that the worst case senario for RAW would be that you can continue moving at the speed dictated by your strength or escape artist check (so if you beat the DC by 10 meaning you can move 10 feet in web, you can therefore move 10 feet total whether you are inside or outside the web).  Otherwise you have the contradictory senario of someone trying to stay IN the web to move that turn, and avoiding the non-webbed spaces, so that they can get the maximum distance possible that round.That makes sense to me.As for the withdraw action and tumbling while in web, I had actually forgotten that those issues arose during the game.  I still contend that you can use the withdraw action while in web, just at a very reduced speed.  In addition, you should be able to tumble in the web, also at the reduced speed, and with approporiate circumstance penalties.  You should be able to do ANY move action as a full round action at a reduced speed and with appropriate circumstance penalities while in a web.  The "special" part of the movement is inherant already in the requirement that you make a check to move, and your movement is severely restricted as to distance, and you suffer the listed penalties of both the spell and the condition known as entangled.  That is how all other environmental conditions and barriers work in the game, and I don't see why a special type of movement action has to be created just for this particular spell. Adding a special kind of movement action isn't generally something WOTC does with the rules in any other place I can think of, nor is it listed on any of the "types of actions" charts (not even third party charts).  It might not make as much sense from a realistic standpoint...then again, facing in all directions at all times doesn't make a huge amount of sense either.  But, for the simplicity that exists in the rules, I think the intent is to not create a special kind of move action just for this particular spell.  Down that road lays the overly-complete rules-set of GURPS.</blockquote>
