[QUOTE="entr0py, post: 3252387, member: 27244"] 1) No where does RAW say or imply that just because the caster is bigger than medium size the areas of her spells should increase proportionately. Nor does it mandate that just because a caster has access to a spell, it must be useful to her. Perhaps a Huge size caster would cast such a "size limited" spell simply to protect her smaller allies. The PHB says "10' radius emanation" -- that's what it means -- that's what it is. Perhaps a caster of great size should have to invest in the "Widen Spell" metamagic feat instead of having it granted automatically. :\ 2) I've always read "You can leave and return to the globe without penalty." As, "it does not prevent the caster from physically crossing the barrier" (like a [I]wall of force[/I] or [I]antimagic field[/I] does), nor does "leaving and returning" effect the duration or effectiveness of the spell. I do NOT read that the [I]GoI [/I]spell effect possesses some sort of cosmic intelligence or memory that "knows" which spells were cast before it and that it should "leave those spells alone." It is simple and it makes sense to me that spells cast before the [I]GoI [/I]remain in effect unless the caster leaves the area and returns. At which point, all his in-place, lower-level spells are subect to the suppression effect of the [I]GoI[/I]. In other words, it is the act of crossing [I]into [/I]the area of the field that invokes the suppression effect (similar to [I]antimagic field[/I].) Therefore, I believe Abraxas's "2b" is the correct answer. ;) put aside your [I]need [/I]to be right and instead use Occam's razor. [/QUOTE]
