I would rule that Fortified Position covers the entire zone including the Zone Border, since creatures can never be in a Zone Border they are either in Zone A or Zone B. There is no gap as result, you can just say: "It's a kinda of magic."

Here is the ruling. There is no time when passing between those two zones where you would not be in a zone with Fortified Position.

The difference between this and switching armor is that logically you can't have two pieces of the same equipment on at the same time. Like I can't wear two shirts.

On this, all creatures are in a zone. There is never a point where a creature isn't in a zone. So yes, it's simmilar, but it does not apply to this action, because you're always in one zone or the other.

As opposed to the previous ruling where you have to take off some equipment to put new ones on.

Well... technically, wearing 2 shirts is very doable ;)

Outstanding! Thank you.
I can take the fun out of anything. It's true; here, look at this spreadsheet.

Apologies for necro-posting, but I have basically the same question with regards to Teleporting.  If I'm in a zone with Fortified Position and enough Corrodes to make my net armor = 0, and I Teleport to/from that zone (e.g. Teleport but don't go anywhere), do I lose 2 Corrode tokens? 

My gut feeling is "yes" based on the ruling for teleporting out of an attached conjuration (e.g. Tanglevine) when teleporting to/from the same zone... but it really comes down to whether or not you are in a different (undefined) zone between teleporting out and teleporting back in to the same zone.

When you teleport from one zone to the same zone, you never leave the zone. Since it never leaves the zone the armor value never changes so you can not teleport to remove corrode tokens with fortified position.

Thanks.  I saw that post but thought it might only refer to movement, since another exception (Banish) was already mentioned.

Makes me think the game could use a level 1 "Blink" ability that temporarily removes a creature from the arena before returning it to the zone it started in - perhaps an Enchantment that "banishes" a creature upon reveal, then brings it back at the end of the round; could be used on a friendly creature to dodge an attack (along with dropping Corrode markers as for this topic), or on an enemy to prevent an attack.  But I guess that would make [mwcard=MW1J22]Tanglevine[/mwcard], [mwcard=DNJ10]Stranglevine[/mwcard] and [mwcard=FWJ07]Quicksand[/mwcard] even worse than they already are. Perhaps Astral Anchor, and presumably other "anchor" effects, will make attached conjurations that grant "unmovable" a little more useful.

Because of a few fairly subtle interactions, a blink enchantment would be a *very* high powered spell.

Oh, yes, the "instant-speed" Enchantment would be too good.  I was thinking of a more versatile Block/Nullify, but I can see how it would have consequences similar to Divine Intervention = could counter any spell by making the target illegal. 

But a "Blink" Incantation would more-or-less be a Teleport restricted to 0 zones, which is why I was thinking level 1.  Yet it could also clear Corrode tokens in a zone with Fortified Position, etc.
