Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenfield" data-source="post: 6436261" data-attributes="member: 6669384">You are aware that "Line Effect" is an Area of Effect, aren't you?  And that is addressed.As for Skip Williams' comment:  I agree, spells fired into an Anti Magic Field most likely fail.  Those fired through on the other hand might be another matter.I can target a Polymorph at someone on the other side of an AMF.  The point of origin and affected creature are both completely outside of the field, and there's no bead, ray, spray or other magical carrier that has to penetrate the AMF, so they're affected normally.Magic Missile and ray-type spells, which aren't AoE, could reasonably be blocked.  The Missile disappears as it enters and that's the end of it.Same thing for a Fireball fired through:  The bead that travels from the caster's hand to the target area vanishes as it enters and is gone.  But the same spell, detonated outside the field, would cover its entire AoE normally except for the areas that overlap with the Anti Magic effect.Now I've been quoting the "Rules as Written" with regards to how AoE interact with Anti Magic areas.You seem to be arguing that the RAW is wrong, superseded by your interpretation of Line of Effect, a rule that is far from clear when Anti Magic is concerned.  (In fact Anti Magic isn't mentioned in the Line of Effect rules, nor is Line of Effect mentioned in the Anti Magic rules.  Area of Effect is.)I would also observe, from your last post, that "unblocked" is not the same as "unbroken".  You are free to house rule any way you like in your games, as is any DM.  Unless you can find an actual rule that says I'm wrong, however, you aren't going to convince me.</blockquote>
