Message: <blockquote data-quote="Balord" data-source="post: 2249315" data-attributes="member: 22662">Thanee pointed out earlier that Mage's Disjunction can be used to bring down AM fields, which is something I overlooked at first, but I just looked it up in the SRD and it says this only has a 1% chance / caster level of working. A 20th level caster would only have a 20% chance of success. So a Disjunction CAN bring down an AMF, but odds are it usually won't work.I'm inclined to agree with those that say the Orb spells and the like would not bypass the AM field. They are propelled by magic, so the AMF should stop them. But magic weapons and the like would seem to work normally against the Archmage - when they enter the AMF their magic is supressed, but when they strike the archmage their magic is no longer supressed because the area the archmage occupies is not subject to the AMF. So a +5 sword would still strike the Archmage as a +5 sword.So this archmage is not as powerful as I first thought, but still the idea of a fully buffed shapechanging Archmage surrounded by an AMF (one that does not affect him) seems very scary. Or imagine a fighter/wizard/eldritch-knight using the Extraordinary Spell Aim (pointed out by Gabrion earlier in this thread) with AMF.  Yikes!</blockquote>
