[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 2714275, member: 6239"] Bah, giant hampsterball is more fun. :p You are missing the point. Teleport and related effects ARE NOT MOVEMENT. At no point do you ever move through the barrior. You simply pop into existance in the barrior. Teleport is not gaseous form or ethereal jaunt, there is no movement involved. You hang an awful lot off of "nothing can pass through the sphere, inside or out" and conventional sense of movement. Resilient sphere does NOT say it blocks inter-planar travel, and there is no general provision on force effects stoping interplanar travel, except ethereal. Its not as simple as saying 'I can do it, line X of Y says so', but it is clearly the best interpretation given the rule set. My interpretation is based on consistancy, yours seems arbitrary. I have never said it is the only interpretation, but I maintain it is the best. It fosters consistancy in the rules and sense of cosmological natural law. Wall of Force gives us the most explanation of what is and is not stopped by the barrier. Interpreting the rules so they make sense and are cohesive is better than arbitrary decisions. I mentioned the shimmering to invisible difference, but there was little interest. I'd guess most people already have made up their minds how it works despite what is writen. [/QUOTE]
