[QUOTE="Amazing Mumford, post: 4456012, member: 33976"] Thanks for the help-- I do think it is definitely a less-powerful effect than the computer games would lead you to believe..... and with all the dim door/teleportation possibilities out there, in powers/spells and magic items, it does have it's weaknesses. And with a Ref save, it would also not be the best idea against rog-types, even if they don't have the ability to teleport they still have a very good chance of dodging the effect in the first place. I do think that the "shimmering" description would prevent gaze attacks-- even though it doesn't specifically say "opaque", I think the spirit of the spell is that it is not invisibly transparent and probably should block gaze attacks. This is one spell that the designers could have added a bit more to... I do agree with Runestar in that summoning monsters outside of it wouldn't work. If it did, it would make an awesome defense for a conjurer! And Jack Simth, nice work with the psionic way around the problem! Here's another question-- could you cast it on a creature in flight? And if so, what happens? Does the sphere/creature stay in the air or fall to the ground? [/QUOTE]
