[QUOTE="DreamChaser, post: 944722, member: 1190"] I've always liked to keep spells as simple as possible. Some of the threads on this board make my head spin because things that seemed so simple to me--such as the idea that the creator of an attack spell (say RoE) would never create it to grant an immunity to the target, especially a potentially rather powerful immunity--are apparently quite complex when they are argued in circles. It is like the summon monster debate: "Summoned creatures act normally on the last round of the spell and disappear at the end of their turn." p 258 Does this mean that the caster no longer has control over the creature? If it is a normally non-violent creature does it suddenly run away? OF COURSE NOT!!! But if you wanted to do a violent jig on the rules of the game you could interpret it that way. So for my .02: It is not a protection spell therefore it does not protect. If it were a protection spell it would say so. DC "Target player loses next turn" indeed! [/QUOTE]
