Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sagiro" data-source="post: 14632" data-attributes="member: 726">Here's a tricky one my fiancee asked me this morning.  I suspect the answers are all subjective and arbitrary, but I wondered what people here thought.What happens if you cast Otiluke's Resiliant Sphere on someone who's flying?  Does the sphere hover in the air, or is it affected by gravity?  Given that it can move and be moved, one might expect that it's not fixed in space, and so would start to fall.So, perhaps, if cast on a human using the fly spell, the Sphere would fall a little bit until its "ceiling" was resting on the target's head.  If the target tried to fly around, he'd bump into the sphere, maybe moving it and herself a little bit with each bump.And what if cast on something that flies with wings, like a hawk?  Would the whole thing, Sphere and bird, fall out of the sky?  Would the hawk take falling damage?To help analyze the problem, I'm including the spell from the SRD.  Thanks!-SagiroOtiluke’s Resilient SphereEvocation [Force]Level: Sor/Wiz 4Components: V, S, MCasting Time: 1 actionRange: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)Effect: 1-ft.-diameter/level sphere, centered around a creatureDuration: 1 minute /levelSaving Throw: Reflex negatesSpell Resistance: YesA globe of shimmering force encloses a creature, provided it is small enough to fit within the diameter of the sphere. The sphere contains its subject for the spell’s duration. The sphere is not subject to damage of any sort except from a rod of cancellation, a wand of negation, disintegrate, or a targeted dispel magic spell. These destroy the sphere without harm to the subject. Nothing can pass through the sphere, inside or out, though the subject can breathe normally. The subject may struggle, but the only effect that act produces is to move the sphere slightly. The globe can be physically moved either by people outside it or by the struggles of those within.</blockquote>
