Odd-sized cone


Rules Questions


What would a 20-foot cone spell area look like? I have a character (half-giant) in my game that uses his Stomp ability, which is listed as a 20 foot cone-shaped spread. I can figure out the straight-sided one (where the caster is at one corner and it has two straight sides) but the angled one has me stumped. The best I could come up with is 2 squares, then two rows of 6, then another row of 2 squares. Does this sound about right?

That is why I like hex mats.

There is an image in the book under the magic section the lays out all the shapes.

Except for the one he needs - a 20' cone.

Personally, I would use the 15' cone as a base. The straight sided one you've got. For the other one, take the 15' cone, and add another line to the end of 5 squares. So the cone would be caster, line of 1, line of 3, line of 3, line of 5.

Liberty's Edge

Using the square counting method from caster to limit, I get:

(30' as basis)
line of 2
line of 6
line of 4
line of 2
caster

or (15' as basis):
line of 3
line of 5
line of 3
line of 1
caster

True. In that case, I'd use the 20' Radius template and cut off one quarter.

That works for one version (firing from a corner), but not the version where it goes straight out from the caster.


Maybe this will help. This is based on my memory of movement. The color guide is on the right, in 5' increments. Any color below, and including, is part of the cone.
