[QUOTE="UltimaGabe, post: 1944774, member: 16019"] I've used it on several occasions, and from my experience, it's a great spell. Of course it's not a spell you'll use every session- in fact, it has very limited uses. However, it still has some great uses. You aren't gonna be throwing it up when fighting something big and tough, because it'll hinder you and not hinder them at all. You're going to be using it when you're up against a really powerful spellcaster, because anybody within the radius is completely immune to any magic that may be coming their way. True, you can't cast it on a Fighter, but what's stopping you from casting it on yourself and then moving with the Fighter? Grappling enemy mages just gets easier and easier when they're in an antimagic field with your Fighter. Not only that, but while you're both in the radius, like I said, both of you are immune to everything the mage can throw at you. Like I said, it's not something you'll use all the time, but when you know there are lots of magical hazards, nothing gets past them better than Antimagic field. But just because it isn't going to be used all the time doesn't mean it's not worthy of its level. Allowing spells to be cast out of it would make it TOO powerful, in my opinion- although also in my opinion, it's better off as a 6th-level spell (via the Magic Domain). I once played a Cleric with said Domain and used the spell on three or four occasions throughout the campaign- two in battle, and two out. It's got its place. [/QUOTE]
