Bear climbs with his claws, in this case, he doesn't have any purchase for his lower (back) legs in a force wall.
Also, top is only 1/4 inch thick, easier for hands to grasp, but not necessarily paws with claws

I get your reasoning but I think that if ANYTHING could climb it, a bear could - they're amazing climbers. Still, like I said, I don't think the bear would feel a need to. He's blocked from his target and he's not being driven on by his "handler" (ATM), and he's got a hot collar that's painful enough (even with the shaman-type taking half the pain) that he'll probably want to get rid of that. (Also, the wall's invisible, so the bear wouldn't know that it's "only" 10-feet up. I can't imagine why he would even try reaching up to the top unless he could tell where it was and wanted to go over it.)

First thing in the morning, sorry for the holdup. Good night

Just curious, but what kind of bears are you talking about? I know black bears are adept climbers, but I don't think grizzlies and larger (Kodiaks, polar bears) are that good (too big). And if this is a cave bear, I would think the same thing. I've been told it's good to run up a tree from a grizzly, but not a black bear.

You do have a point there. The bears that I am used to (saw one the other day while walking the dog) are Black Bears, and they would hop over a 10-foot-fence (invisible or not) in no time at all if there was food on the other side. I suppose I assumed that the only barrier to climbing for bigger bears was whether or not the thing they were climbing could support their weight. (Something an indestructible magical wall ought to do).

At any rate, it doesn't matter - I don't think the bear would WANT to climb the wall, so even if it could do it, it's not going to without being cajoled into doing it. (And all the orcs are a bit busy at the moment.)

Was the shaman concentrating on anything by chance? I was under the impression that there might be something to disrupt.

The shaman and the bear are connectef by warding bond. (The spell does potential damage to the caster so it would not be very good if it was a concentration spell.)

Ah, in that case, I call the dual platinum bands. Even if one 'is' bear-sized. `;~p

@Neurotic : I'm not sure what you are saying in the IC post to me. I think you are mistaken.
