If I want to know what the rule is I can go to SRD or refer to my books or I might ask here if I don't have time to do that research myself. If I want feedback as to whether something is possible within the rules I'm going to ask other people how they interpret the rule.House rules from my view are when your making a ruling that changes the mechanics of a rule.  I don't think anything is being changed about either spells text or how they work. We are just determining the parameters of their effects. They both still work the same way far as their effects were just determining if it's possible there could be other scenarios possible based on those effects.<We know that a Wind Wall is not a solid barrier. It is made of gas. It cannot be solid unless the spell states that it is solid.So, we have to determine if it is a material body. Typically, the word material means something composed of matter (i.e. corporeal). Well, air is composed of matter and it obviously does not stop a Fireball. A Wind Wall is composed of air, so it too would appear on the surface to not stop a Fireball.>If interpretation of text is allowed and we are allowed to try to deterimine whether wind wall is material or solid. I don't think it's far fetched to view the force of wind wall described as a "barrier" within text as semi solid for purposes of qualifying as solid for contact purposes.  Air can't be felt, but Wind can be felt.I think the fact that the firey bead explodes upon impact of a solid barrier is enough to determine it is material or solid in nature.If we are not allowed to determine all possible paramters of these spells outside of what is written within the text. Then I would have to conced it's not within rules as it does not clearly state in text anywhere. The Baron~P.S. I appologize for not maintaining the integrity of others. I let my ego get the best of me and behaved like a savage.</blockquote>
