[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5687919, member: 6669384"] I was posting in the Armor thread and came across an odd thought involving Ghost Touch arms and armor. Non-corporeal creatures exist half in the Ethereal plane, which is why they can walk through solid objects on this plane, but are "solid" to someone on the Ethereal plane. Force effects, like Magic Missiles and Mage Armor, exist on both planes, which is why they work against non-corporeal creatures. So what happens if someone goes to the Ethereal Plane and sets a Wall of Stone right where there's a door in the material plane? It's invisible to folks on the Material plane, of course, and won't affect them at all. Unless they're wearing or carrying Ghost Touch items, or have Bracers of Armor, or a Mage Armor spell up. In that situation, would they be stopped at the door by some "unseen force"? Could the Paladin enter, but for some reason his Ghost Touch Holy Sword has to stay outside? Is the Wizard with his Bracers +2 forced to wait outside? Would a Magic Missile be able to pass through that opening? Like the thread title says, it's a stupid thought, but fun to tickle your brain with. [/QUOTE]
