Shadow Wall of Force?

[Twowolves]

So, Wall of Force is an Evocation spell. With a partially real Shadow Evocation version of a Wall of Force, what does X% real mean? You can't deal hp damage to a WoF, so you can't just give it X% hp or Hardness. If you make your will save, do you just have a % chance to ignore it?

In short, yes, if you make your save you have a 40% chance to just walk right through the wall.

(By the way, you need Greater Shadow Evocation, which is 60% real, to mimic Wall of Force)

I was actually thinking about the Shadowcraft Mage from Races of Stone. With Heighten Spell, a Heightened Silent Image will do it at 50%, or 70% if the character has 5 levels in the class.

I actually used that deliberately once - a Wall of Force that the caster could shoot spells through. (Some of the time, anyway.)

Shadow Evocation gets really strange when you consider that spells like Contingency are Evocation. Shadow Wall of Stone can be really fun to make mazes out of. Half the party can walk through the walls and the other half can't.

That's precisely what I have coming up this Saturday (plus more surprises). Only previously, when I asked the forum about Shadow Walls of Stone, I got the answer that if they made their Will saves, it would only have X% of the hp and Hardness of a real Wall of Stone. Otherwise, it'd make for a great cover for a pit as well (only the high Will save guys have a decent chance of falling in; oops! there go the casters!).

They'd just fly/levitate/spider climb right back out again, unfortunately.

Not if it's deep enough!
