Message: <blockquote data-quote="Omnifarious Grey" data-source="post: 4614400" data-attributes="member: 81454">Actually, after consulting my brother in a brief discussion about the powerm we both have come to the conclusion that moving the cloud over an enemy will not do anything to them.RAW says that the enemies take damage if they start their turn in the cloud or move into the cloud. This says nothing about the cloud moving over them and, unless it said otherwise, would do nothing to harm them.Conceptually, how does the cloud do damage? The answer seems to be through breathing in the foul air which hurts them. Without taking creatures who do not breath into the equation, this damage would occur whenever they breath the air in. Now, I don't want to get into a big discussion about the whole 6 second round concept and how many breaths one would take in a round. However, if you think about what the conditions the power outlines for the damage of the cloud, you can only really see someone taking damage from the cloud once during a turn (DM rulings and idiotic creatures walking out then into the cloud again aside).Also, the idea that a creature inside the cloud can take less damage from standing inside of the cloud than a creature who is constantly subjected to the cloud by either moving into and out of it or (which I see not possible) the cloud being moved onto the enemy numerous times. In fact, would the cloud dissipate if you keep constantly "fanning" the cloud back and forth over an area? I would say yes.</blockquote>
