Message: <blockquote data-quote="KarinsDad" data-source="post: 256609" data-attributes="member: 2011">How is this ambiguous? It doesn't give an example, but it tells you how to do it. Roll a dispel check of D20 + 1 per caster level (max 10) vs. DC of 11 + spell casters level.It is definitely NOT ambiguous on whether it can be done.By your own admission, the "only rule to quote is the description of Dispel Magic".So, I will quote it:"One object, creature, or spell is the target of the spell. The character makes a dispel check against the spell or against each ongoing spell currently in effect on the object or creature. A dispel check is 1d20 +1 per caster level (maximum +10) against a DC of 11 + the spell's caster level."What is ambiguous about this?If you target a spell, you target a spell. If you target a spell, you are NOT targeting an object or creature, hence, the first part of the second sentence here applies ("The character makes a dispel check against the spell"), the second sentence here does not apply ("or against each ongoing spell currently in effect on the object or creature").The rules on page 148 (I think, do not have PHB in front of me) do not say that you cannot target a spell if you cannot see it like they say that you cannot target a creature or object that you cannot see.There are NO rules on targeting a spell, hence, the best you can do is say that since Dispel Magic states that you can do it, you can do it.In fact, after rereading the spell, I am totally confused on what it is ambiguous to you. It appears crystal clear to me. Please explain why it doesn't state what it states.Well, you are being a pain.You are explicitly stating that the rules do not allow it, then you turn around and state that it is an interpretation on your part.You have yet to quote a rule that disallows it, but you repeatedly state that it is disallowed.Don't state your interpretation, state the rules (as I have above).</blockquote>
