[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5956183, member: 6669384"] We were discussing the whole "Line of Effect" argument, which is part of what Dandu was quizzing me about. As you may have read, I disagree with Skip (and apparently you as well) that [I]Antimagic Field [/I]blocks Line of Effect. Line of Effect isn't mentioned anywhere in the spell or condition descriptions, so there's nothing to say that it's blocked by the AMF. It interrupts it, which could possibly extend it (oddly enough), but doesn't block it. The spell description and the general condition description are both pretty clear that magic effects that enter the zone are suppressed, not dispelled, and that once they leave they resume normal function. But that does bring up some interesting possibilities. Consider an [I]Antimagic Field[/I] that intersected with ( and possibly wrapped around) a stone wall. If I cast a [I]Lightning Bolt[/I] through the AMF in the direction of that wall, the spell's area of effect (and line of effect) are interrupted by the AMF. They don't exist in that area, but resume normally once they pass it. Sort of like quantum tunneling. The stone wall would block the spell under most circumstance, but since it never actually hits the wall inside the AMF, it will resume normal course on the other side of it, which is also on the other side of the stone wall. In effect, the AMF allows me to throw that spell through the stone wall. How neat is that? :) [/QUOTE]
