[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 2800613, member: 11300"] Hello Everyone, In short, as the title suggests. (This is my first poll so I hope I have not stuffed it up). The long story however revolves around out most recent session. Our group as a whole is most probably pretty naive when it comes to internet discourse and game issues. I'm most probably the only one who regularly posts on an rpg site. As such, the full ramifications of the Orb of Acid spell struck the majority of the party full in the face last session. What should have been the ultimate devestating encounter for the party was over so quickly, the DM blinked and all of a sudden we had beaten the final foe. It was a Demilich construct type thing (not exactly sure of the specs) that was immune to all magical effects - although it used it's own magic. One of the character's anti-magicked up and entered the space of the skull. Next comes my character Lucifus Cray with a quickened true strike followed by an Orb of Acid. For the next twenty minutes ensued some level of debate over whether the spell should a) be able to go through the anti-magic field (it was initiated outside of it) and b) that there was effectively no save and the fact that it bypassed so easily the spell immunity of the target. This then became a debate over whether the acid should be allowed to stay as an orb without magical assistance etc. etc. etc... In the end, the rules were explicit: as an instantaneous creation effect, it threaded its way through all the bad boy's defences. A follow up Orb of Acid next round finished the thing off. The anti-climax of it all left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. As such, I thought I'd try my first poll to see what EnWorld's perspective was on this spell. Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
