05-26-05, 11:04 PM Antilife shell creates a 10' emination that prevents the entrance of (living creatures). If I cast the antilife shell with a living creature within 5' or 10' of me does
a) the spell fails because I am forcing the barrier against a creature the spell keeps at bay.
b) the shell does not affect the creature while inside the 10' barrier, but once they leave they are barred from re-entering.
c) the creature can only move farther away i.e. from 5' to 10', but cannot move closer again.

05-27-05, 12:36 AM By RAW, this would be answer A. You would be forcing the shell against a creature.

05-27-05, 01:21 AM After further consideration, I agree. Emination is clearly defined, and seems more like a magnetic field, that would continiously eminate opposed to a wall. The word 'barrier' could apply to either, but emination does not.
