[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 2379362, member: 16814"] Contigency is a high level spell that only reacts to one thing: its stated trigger. IMO the spell will react unfailingly to its trigger when and if it occurs. It will react even if the triggering event is unknown or unknowable to the bearer of the effect. And it can and will interupt actions if it is necessary to do so to fulfill its trigger conditions. Basically, I use the same reasoning I would for a player cast wish spell. I will adjucate the spell according to what the player is trying to do, not look for loopholes in his actual choice of words. If the player wishes to have a contigent deathward to protect from level draining effects, then let him have it. It is by no means a game breaking situation. Now, if he wants a light spell to go off when he is within 10' of a treasure, I get to decide what a treasure is. Mwahaha. [/QUOTE]
