Or is it that inanimate objects are deemed "unwilling"?

Interesting, this means ST 15, DX 8, IQ 9 apprentices with Aid spell will become the desired hire for adventuring. :-)

Oh good grief, I miss remembered my own house rule. I've gone back and fixed the post you were replying to here!

That's interesting and funny.

I would allow it if the player announced it. The saving roll for each affected hex would still apply. Missing it would result in what slippery floors are supposed to do. If a slide is in process, it will lose its aim. To be successful in the slide into opponents would also require appropriate rolls.

A GM has to be prepared to come up with rolls for such unique situation.

Back in our Classic TFT days, my brother, God rest his soul, kept insisting on taking a crotch shot with a pike axe. The GM gave in but required a -10 on DX (basically an auto-hit). My brother actually made the roll. Lets just say that it changed the context of the game a bit.
