[QUOTE="Numion, post: 1077645, member: 124"] I'm here looking that the Antilife Shell might be pretty good for my cleric-archer in some cases. Like fighting a dragon, because it gets only SR, not a save. But dragons have reach. More than the 10ft radius barrier offered by anti-life shell. So my question is: does Antilife Shell also protect against natural attacks that have reach? I would think so because the enemy can't get close to me, so neither should any of its appendages it uses to attack. The point of course is that I could then punish any creatures that are devastating in melee with my bow with inpunity. Reason I'm asking is that then this brings some difficult issues with reach weapons. Is 10 ft reach weapon enough to hit me inside the field? I would think that even with 10 ft reach weapon part of the attackers hands should go nearer than the 10 ft .. which isn't possible, depending on the answer to first question. I base that assumption in that daggers also have 5ft reach, but aren't that long, and thus reach weapons might have 10 ft reach, but part of that 10 ft is made up by the attackers hands. Uh, that didn't come out clean, but I hope you understand what I'm asking. [/QUOTE]
