[QUOTE="ryryguy, post: 4999886, member: 64945"] Oh, I have not actually looked at the text for Storm Pillar... some of the other effects under discussion have been zones. Substitute "power effect" for zone if you like. Well, that's the fundamental point of disagreement. Can you provide a rules quote for the assertion that power effects should be treated as terrain? Again, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to want to treat it that way, but it's just not as clear cut as you're presenting it. (Regarding the quote about "zones of magical darkness", in context I don't think it's clear that refers to a zone as a power effect, as opposed to just a synonym for "area".) I don't want to belabor this... although I do wonder, what do you think about the example of Prismatic Wall? Would you say that should be treated as difficult terrain? (And if so, why do some powers explicitly say that they create difficult terrain or change terrain to be difficult terrain, wouldn't that be redundant?) *edit* You added: Sorry, I have not had access to DMG today (while at work), I will look at it tonight. What you're saying about Cloud of Daggers sounds like pretty strong support for your position. [/QUOTE]
