Sep 08, 2006 12:09:52 I was wondering if with the Wraithform spell while in wraithform do you take up the same space as when you are solid? If not is it possible to move into a creature by way of the mouth or nose and the end the spell and come solid inside the creature splitting it from the inside out?

Sep 08, 2006 15:36:26 I would presume both characters would die horribly and violently, if this was attempted.

Of course, there's also the question of magic resistance

Sep 08, 2006 17:06:02 how would the magic resistance come in? I thought magic resistance only applied to spells directly cast at the magic resistant creature?

Sep 08, 2006 18:02:22 Its been mentioned in books that magic resistance also applies, f.x. when trying to move through a magic barrier etc. Basically, whenever the spell affects teh creature. If it would apply here would be a DM call, but as stated, I would consider both characters slain outright in such a situation, unless there is a vast difference in size.

Sep 09, 2006 8:44:07 Wraithform seems to utilize the ethereal plane, and living matter will block passage of ethereal matter.

I would rule that an attack like the one you mentioned would be impossible.

My character did almost die and would have if not for his ring of regeneration and he was somewhat smaller(elf vs large human berzerker) it was a last ditch effort to save my companions and I did not expect to live or for it to really work. The said enemy was uninjured and pawerful and we had just gott done fighting a large group of enemies and were exausted, almost out of spells, arrows and hit points. My guy was unconsious for about 4 or 5 days (the session where I did this was years ago so I dont remember all the details) but was well respected by the party after that.
