[QUOTE="Ziggy, post: 161904, member: 148"] Sorry, that ruling is not relevant for what we are discussing here. :) Let's have a look at what the Sage says: Here the Sage states that a targeted dispel on a [B] fighter [/B]will affect all attended objects, including spells on attended objects. Nothing here on whether spells (e.g. the GMW on the sword) can be targeted separately. Nothing new here, just confirmation that attended objects are counted when using targeted dispel on a creature. This is about Area Dispel, so it's not directly relevant for Targeted Dispel. The interesting thing here is that attending an object does not impact the rules for dispelling it (using area dispel). If we use the same rules for targeted dispel, attending an object (or spell) should not disqualify it from being a target of a targeted dispel. However the Sage is not stating this explicitly, thus it is currently only my interpretation. This is the place with some sort of relevance for our situation. Here the Sage confirms that spells (and objects) is part of the character attending them, and thus are targets when the character is the target of a dispel. He is [B]not[/B] in any way stating that this makes them immune to a targeted dispel, nor is this in any way a logical conclusion from the answer. The Sage is just stating that attending an object (or spell) makes it vulnerable to a dispel magic. This is definitely not relevant. To sum it up: there is nothing in this ruling that supports either view. In the end it boils down to whether "attending" a spell makes it immune to being targeted explicitly. While attending an object makes it immune in several situations, there are still situations where these objects can be targeted (you can Sunder it, and steal it, and cast spells on it). Thus they are not universally immune, and I see no reason why spells should be. .Ziggy [/QUOTE]
