[QUOTE="Thikket, post: 3808366, member: 13333"] That was my understanding of the situation, yes! I've seen that counter permitted in-game, but now I'm wondering if it's correct! Considering that the usual response I see is to simply kick the stone back at the thrower (or pick it up and throw it back), the cape-counter sounds like a stylish yet slightly less effective alternative. My interpretation was that the cape is a solid barrier, which blocks line of effect, and therefore ceases the spell's emanation. Aha! I didn't think about line of effect precise wording here. Let me make sure I understand the situation with an example... Say I mount the [i]silenced[/i] pebble to the center of a 3' x 3' wooden board. I upend the board so it is resting on its side, and lay it at the south side of my square. The pebble is elevated and facing north; to the pebble's immediate south is the 3' x 3' board. My interpretation was that the board counted as a "solid barrier", and blocked line of effect to the south. Is the small wooden board insufficient to count as a "solid barrier"? Is that because when I trace the corners of the squares, nothing has Total Cover due to the board? [CODE] [b]Thikket's probably-wrong interpretation of "solid barrier" and emanations:[/b] "_" is the square containing the upright wooden board on its south border (the [i]silenced[/i] pebble is mounted on the board's north side.) "x" is a square that has been [i]silenced[/i]. "o" is a square that is unaffected by the [i]silence[/i] xxxxx xxxxx xx_xx ooooo ooooo [/CODE] [/QUOTE]
