First, from the SRD:
A question came up last game. The party had a Blade Barrier cast on their location (with them at the approximate center of it).
The one who made the save was forced to move out of it (shortest route) on his turn.
But what about those who didn't make their saves? I assume they could then move out of it any way they wanted to. (Y/N?)
Also, the spell does not state you take more damage from remaining in the barrier, or more from leaving it. Is this correct? (Y/N?)(That is the way we played it)
Blade Barrier
Evocation
Level: Clr 6, Good 6, War 6
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 full round
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: Spinning disk of blades, up to
30-ft. radius
Duration: 10 minutes/level
Saving Throw: Reflex negates (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes
This spell creates a spinning disk of razor-sharp blades. These whirl and flash around a central point, creating an immobile, circular barrier. Any creature passing through the blade barrier takes 1d6 points of slashing damage per caster level (maximum 20d6). The plane of rotation of the blades can be horizontal, vertical, or slanted.
Creatures within the blade barrier when it is invoked take the damage as well. They can negate the damage with a successful Reflex saving throw, provided they can and do physically leave the area of the blades by the shortest possible route. Once the barrier is in place, anything entering or passing through the blades automatically takes damage.
A blade barrier serves as one-half cover (+4 AC) for anyone beyond it.
