Got it! Thanks Lady-J and avr !!

PS> The DM's argument was that is was like a globules that went flying out from that center point and then landed all over within a 20-foot radius. That too makes sense to me though.

any radius at the bottom will take away from the side so if they allocate 10 feet to the floor they have 30 feet for the wall

Sorry, not quite sure I follow what you're saying ... could you perhaps restate that for me? (Sorry if I'm being thick)

Not sure it will be possibke to have a DEFINITIVE answer to this ... But, we had a situation tonight where there was some dispute over how BLACK TENTACLES would work on uneven surfaces ...

The spell was cast targeted atop a 40-foot cliff, 10 feet from the edge of the cliff. With its 20-foot radius, the argument was whether the tentacles would also appear at the bottom of the cliff for 10 feet from that edge, or would they simply travel down the cliff's side 10 feet.

Is there any way to tell how a spell like this (radius-spread) should work in such a two-level situation?

Thanks!
