Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pax" data-source="post: 1000637" data-attributes="member: 6875">One round is six seconds; you coudl calculate actual maximum distance based on that.I believe I've seen somewhere or other here a good rule fo thumb: falling for one round covers 200' of vertical distance.No, it doesn't end the spell; for the area specified, gravity is reversed.Example: you face enemies in a castle's Grand Hall, where the ceiling is 50' up (truly a grand hall).  You cast Reverse Gravity; everyone in the area of effect falls upward ... and hits the ceiling.  Theyhave, functionally, fallen 50'; they take damage appropriately.They are, however, still on the ceiling ... and will be until either the spell duration runs out, or, they step outside the functional area of effect (which is, roughly, everything from the designated AoE, and 200' upwards from there).Absolutely.  Continuing the above example: after spending however-long on the ceiling, when the Reverse Gravity ends, they fall 50' back to the floor ... taking damage again.Somethign within reach that is attached to the floor, wall, ceiling -- something that NO amount of strength could move.  A wall might count (though a climb check AND a reflex save might be appropriate then).  A doorknob might help; a stalagmite would work; etc.  Note that the save shoudl only negate the falling; the reversed gravity is still in effect, and they would seem to be dangling over a looooong drop ...  Falling damage isn't horrible.  Also, a monk caught by this, with a nearby wall, would benefit fully form their Slow Fall ability.  And if you don't HIT anything on the way up -- you take no damage at all; that means it's less useful outdoors.  Indoors, most ceilings are probably 10' or less, so, damage should be comparatively minimal.Somethign to consider: when presented with an underground chasm and a low roof, Reverse Gravity has noncombat uses too -- cast it such that you can walk on the roof to cross the chasm (two 10' falls is a LOT better than one half-mile drop ... !!).</blockquote>
