He’ll ready an action to cast Wall of Force in front of the flying creature. Since the wall is invisible, the creature flies right into it and then…. This is where it gets sticky, I don’t know how to address the effects of a flying creature running into a stationary invisible wall. One could argue that it is like falling damage. So, if the creature is flying at 150’, it would take 15d6 damage??? Or if it is flying at 30’, it would take 3d6 damage? Seems a bit much to me. More to add onto this, the player wants some sort of a roll to find out if the creature can continue flying after the shock of running into a wall. He feels that the flying creature would fall to the ground unless it is able to regain it’s flight mode. Seems like a reasonable request, but all of a sudden, the Wall of Force is a bit powerful in this type of a use. Very creative, but how does the math work on it? Oh and one more thing, can Blindsight see the Wall of Force?I’ve browsed through the PH and DMG to no avail of a ready answer, so, I bring this question to the collective minds of EN World in the search of a happy solution. Let me know what you guys and gals think of this? Thanks!LT</blockquote>
