[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 4644417, member: 58197"] By a really strict reading of the rules, one could argue that [I]antimagic field[/I] affects [I]forcecage[/I]. [I]Forcecage [/I]does not specifically say that it is unaffected by [I]antimagic field[/I], and it is not on the list of spells that [I]antimagic field[/I] says it doesn't affect. The bars are described as "similar to" a [I]wall of force[/I], but "similar" is not "identical." Yeah, it's extreme rules-lawyering, and it would have been simpler just to have the dragon [I]dimension door[/I] out... but if V's player tried to complain, the DM would be perfectly entitled to respond with, "Oh yeah? Maybe you only hallucinated that you cast [I]forcecage[/I], because you haven't SLEPT FOR THE LAST MONTH. Did you want to talk about rules-lawyering?" As for the dragon's spellcasting, it specifically says it's more interested in arcane magic than others of its kind. I read this as "took a level in sorceror," which would allow it to cast [I]antimagic field[/I] just fine. [/QUOTE]
