[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 6997643, member: 6796661"] I suppose I have to agree that a WoF can't be moved. If I'm going to homebrew it, I think I would rather not let it be cast suspended in the air. This is one spell that could have been better written. I guess you can argue that you shouldn't need to state that a WALL is meant to be immovable. Fine. But what if the caster is on the back of a large moving object? A barge, a large wagon, a dragon turtle? Will it stay in place when the object it was cast on moves? If you have a wizard in a large crate, changed down on a barge, and a wizard casts WoF inside of it, will it just break through the crate (or if crate material is strong enough, prevent the barge from moving)? In VGTM they have an image of an Elder Brain in a glass case/WoF with metal bandings connected to chains being pulled by Quaggoths. So, either the WoF works a bit differently with the EB. Perhaps it is moves with the EB or the EB can will it to move. Makes me think...so if a Wizard flies/levitates into the air and casts a wall-of-force sphere around him/herself, then he/she has just hang there in the air for 10 minutes. Or if an ally is falling, you could cast a wall of force around/under them (that may have the same effect as them splatting against the ground though...) [/QUOTE]
