[QUOTE="Gadget, post: 7922789, member: 23716"] Well, yes I agree. But that does not cover spells like Sending and Telepathy, but both of those have a range of Unlimited, which can be used to determine that they don't have to have line of effect. Sometimes the spell description is necessary. Phrases like "as long as the target is on the same plane of existence as you" and such seem to imply that line of effect clearly is not an issue. Cloudkill, imho, requires line of effect and therefore would be blocked by Wall of Force. Same for Mage Hand, Chill Touch, and Summoning spells. I would rule Dimension Door would get around a Wall of Force due to the verbiage of "a place you can see, one you can visualize, or one you can describe by stating distance and direction, such as '200 feet straight downward'..." clearly does not need line of effect. This is where the loose language of 5e is sometimes problematic, though. [/QUOTE]
