Quasqueton
First Post
We had a situation come up in my game regarding the interpretation of the hold portal spell:
Quasqueton
"The magic affects the portal just as if it were securely closed and normally locked." What if someone wanting to pass through held door had a key to the door? What if the door doesn't have a lock?From the SRD:
Hold Portal
Abjuration
Level: Sor/Wiz 1
Component: V
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One portal, up to 20 sq. ft./level
Duration: 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell magically holds shut a door, gate, window, or shutter of wood, metal, or stone. The magic affects the portal just as if it were securely closed and normally locked. A knock spell or a successful dispel magic spell can negate a hold portal spell.
For a portal affected by this spell, add 5 to the normal DC for forcing open the portal.
