[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 157973, member: 1115"] During my last session, I had a short discussion with a player about the contingency spell. The problem: The player's mage had cast a [I]contingency[/I] in combination with a [I]dimension door[/I]. It should be activated when the mage is attacked in melee combat. This happened as a group of orcs surrounded the mage and attacked him while he tried to cast a [I]wall of force[/I] (he was low on spells because he had to get down the eleven trolls who were slaughtering his comrades...). Two questions arise here: 1st (to the situation above): Which spell comes first: the [I]wall of force[/I] or the [I]dimension door[/I] ? (I decided that the door was activated first) 2nd (in general): If the [I]contingency[/I] is activated first DURING (or beginning) the casting of another spell (e.g. a [I]fireball[/I]) what happens if you're teleported (because of the [I]contingency - dimension door[/I]-combo) ? Can the mage redirect the [I]fireball[/I] or will it go up in the first designated place? [/QUOTE]
