[QUOTE="Everett, post: 3455172, member: 21712"] Yeah, but that's fine. This sort of speculation is the best thing about D&D for my money; it's like pondering a zen koan. :cool: <<<Which does it go for and why? It goes for the summoned spellcaster. That it's unaffected by magic does not mean it's unable to identify a magically created being. It can't walk through the [I]Wall of Stone[/I]. Why? The magic isn't residual. If you cast [I]disintegrate[/I] beneath the creature, ultimately it's however the DM wants to play it, but I would say no, it doesn't fall. It's a question of awareness. If you think the ground you stand on is solid, you're not worried about falling. If the ground suddenly turns to glass, but you [I]just don't notice[/I], you feel the same way. Does the +1 sword pass through it? Yes, it does, [I]if[/I] the weapon is judged to be inherently magical. But it can't walk through a magically enhanced wall that's fundamentally just rock underneath. As the samurais say... you must consider this. ;) These are my opinions, but a case could be made just as strongly the other way. In a god-created world... well, they might be intermittently there, flicking in and out of existence like a bad internet connection. (Remember the backstory about Foogzl the Cleaner, the battle where OCS died?) They might be [I]polymorphed[/I]. They might be giants (no pun intended) with psychic abilities. They could be beings like the Inevitables - the non-living, planer-appointed bounty hunters described in the Monster Manual. They could be a lot of things. [/QUOTE]
