Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sagiro" data-source="post: 73519" data-attributes="member: 726">According to the SRD:"Targeted Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target of the spell. The character makes a dispel check against the spell or against each ongoing spell currently in effect on the object or creature. A dispel check is 1d20 +1 per caster level (maximum +10) against a DC of 11 + the spell’s caster level."There's still some ambiguity, so I thought I'd canvass the boards for opinions.  Specifically, I'm thinking of when a single spell targets multiple creatures, like water breathing or wind walk, and then someone targets that spell with a dispel magic.If I cast dispel magic, targeting a water breathing spell that's affecting 3 characters, and succeed in my check, it seems like the spell would drop on all three targets.  After all, it was all one spell, and not three different castings of water breathing.  But that leads to the weird case where one of the recipients of the water breathing has teleported 1000 miles away, or even plane shifted to another plane.  Now I cast a dispel magic at one of the other two people, targeting the water breathing spell itself; does the spell drop on the third person, no matter where he is?   Is it good enough to have just have one of the orginal targets within range of my targeted dispel magic?What do you think?  Is there some clarifying example in any of the core books?thanks,Sagiro</blockquote>
