[MOTW] Forsakers and Anti-magic

[Arcturus_Rugend]

Would a Forsaker (Prc from the MOTW splatbook) still have a hatred for or be inclined to destroy a magic item that in some way produces an anti-magic shell or otherwise suppresses or destroys magic?

 

[Crothian]

If it does it in a magical way, then yes.

I'm not intentionally being dense or obdurate, but from a logical standpoint, why ?

Would a paladin work with evil creatures if they would kill only other evil creatures? I think not.

It's the same question, really. For a Forsaker, magic = BAD. Magic that gets rid of other magic is still BAD.

 

[Crothian]

Because it's magic. They destroy magic, they don't care what the magic does or what it can be used for.

You just can't argue with that....can you?

 

[Arcturus_Rugend]

Point taken.

That said, does anyone know of any non-magical sources that produce a suppressed or anti-magic field effect?

 

[karateka]

I do not know any sources but I think you are just trying to go cheesy with your forsaker.

Cheese aside (Chèvre chaud, anyone?), there are some "magically dead" areas. The precedent I believe is in the FR setting.

Your DM may rule that a certain ore nullifies magic in an area depending on it's mass. Good plot hook, IMHO, if you have to go find it...

Just a thought, but how about a naturally preserved beholder's eye? If you assume the only reason it is a cone is that the beholder's body blocks the rest of it, then a beholder's eye in a jar might radiate antimagic.
