[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 2459236, member: 29252"] Let's see.... a 10 foot wide tunnel .... 6th level druid .... spell gives 10 cubic feet + 1 cubic ft/level .... assuming a 5 ft cieling .... that's 50 cubic feet for one foot thick (5 * 10 * 1) .... no. Not that thick. Now, as he gets 16 cubic feet, if he cuts the thickness by about a factor of 4 (3 inches), then he only has to cover (5*10*0.25) 12.5 cubic feet - which he can do (and he has a little leeway for the cieling height - at 3 inches thick, and 16 cubic feet available, he can make a wall as high as 6.4 feet tall. At 2 inches thick, that's 9.6 feet tall. At 1 inch thick, that's 19.2 feet tall.... assuming the DM lets him shape the stone over a wide area in less than 1 cubic foot blocks.... which isn't a given. Edit: As for how difficult it would be to break, check out the Wall of Stone spell for a quick measure: "Each 5-foot square of the wall has 15 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 8" so a wall 1 foot thick would have hardness 8 and 12*15=180 hit points (a lot, especially at that level).
