[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 3694429, member: 29252"] You do run into something - the Gate itself. You hit a gate at X miles per hour due to falling under the force of magic gravity, on the other side of the gate for any portion of you that goes through suffers mundane gravity pulling you through. As far as the observer falling through the trap is concerned, there is no interruption of forces (provided, of course, that the gate goes to a plane with normal gravity). I mean, you can mince words any way you like, but if you go too RAW, there's no penalty for having the dead condition, and a dead Wizard (not an Undead Wizard) can continue to act just fine after having been taken to -300 HP by a single blow. Whether or not that is how the spells are [i]supposed[/i] to work out is immaterial - it's how his DM has ruled they work, which is the final say in the matter. The original poster posing the problem to be solved is doing so because of a specific set of DM rulings - while not overly verbose, the original poster (although not entirely in the original post) has explained what's happening and the how of it happening. As we can't argue with the DM directly (to my knowledge), the solution needs to happen within the context of the situation as presented - they do indeed fall through the Gate, even if they aren't technically supposed to.
