[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7965861, member: 6801228"] You link didn't copy properly. Hmm, I hadn't looked closely at that spell in a while. But, that also got me looking at Wall of Ice, and I would have to submit that one of those two numbers is wrong, and I feel it is the wall of stone. Wall of stone is 30 hp per 1 inch of stone Wall of Ice is 30hp per 1 foot of ice. Now, I've had to break a few inches of ice before. It is tough stuff. I can imagine if I had a block of ice 1 foot thick, and I hit it with a sledgehammer (equivalent to a maul) I probably would not split it in half. I'd take a chunk out, but not destroy it. An inch thin sheet of stone? Broken, I would be shocked if it could stand up to more than a single hammer blow. And a maul does an average of 7 damage. So, would we really expect it to take 5 hammer blows to break an inch of stone? My gut says no. So either the stone from Wall of Stone is unusual, or it needs to be weakened, because I don't think those numbers work out very well on the base line. [/QUOTE]
