The sorcerer in my group throws these around like nickels, and it's led to a few questions...
As a sphere 6' across, but with a "spongy, yielding consistency", can the globe squeeze into a 5' corridor? Can it be conjured into a 5' corridor?
When the sphere enters a space with a creature, it stops moving and deals damage. Should the sphere then be considered to be occupying the same square as its target, or the square it attacked from? We're having trouble understanding the effect of someone making a Reflex Save and taking no damage, but occupying the same 5' square as a 6' ball of flame that continues to burn.
Can the sphere be Bull Rushed or otherwise shifted without the consent of the caster? A Wall of Fire can be passed (though damage is incurred) since the flames have no substance. But the description of the Flaming Sphere specifically describes a material surface - which suggests that a pair of them can block a 10' corridor more completely than the Wall.
If someone deliberately enters the same sqaure as the Sphere, does it automatically deal its 2d6 damage? Or can it only deal damage while being directed by the caster as a MEA? Would someone choosing to enter its square still be entitled to a Reflex Save to avoid damage?
Does a Wall of Fire provide Cover or Concealment against ranged attacks? Does a Flaming Sphere?
