[QUOTE="DreadArchon, post: 3491614, member: 49449"] I actually agree here. That the Wall of Fire is opaque, can't spread, and is heated only on one side doesn't prevent you from applying "real-world" logic to it to some degree. But as to your quote, you've conspicuously edited out the next line: (Emphasis mine.) On a similar note, there's: In both cases, you're missing the point. Even allowing for the house rule that Wall of Fire can damage objects (which makes even less sense given that it can't spread to nearby areas or re-light extinguished sections, the entire point of the spell being to protect yourself without burning down your own house, but I digress), [b]something can take fire damage without being lit on fire[/b]. Neither the Monk who jumps through the wall nor the arrow that's shot through the wall is lit on fire, regardless of whether or not they take damage from the wall. Obviously, though, there'd be Total Concealment shooting through the wall, since they went out of their way to specify Opaque. (Which, incidentally, has come up in my game during a fight with Salamanders.) [/QUOTE]
