Is there a way to survive an area for an extended period of time that not only has no breathable air, but is under the effects of an anti-magic field?

Example Solution:
A warforged character does not need air to survive nor do they stop functioning in an AMF.

Apr 09, 2008 23:32:33 Bottle of Air: This item appears to be a normal glass bottle with a cork. When taken to any airless environment it retains air within it at all times, continually renewing its contents. This means that a character can draw air out of the bottle to breathe. The bottle can even be shared by multiple characters who pass it around. Breathing out of the bottle is a standard action, but a character so doing can then act for as long as she can hold her breath.

Moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item, water breathing; Price 7,250 gp;Weight 2 lb.

Also:
There are several PrCs that turn you into an Undead, Construct, Plant, Ooze, or Elemental. None of these needs to breath air.

Other than playing something that doesn't need to breath, probably not much.

However, if the effect is an Antimagic Field, and not a Dead Magic Zone, you can block the line of effect with a normal mundane cardboard box (or something similiar). AMF is an emanation, and those require LoE.

Apr 10, 2008 3:05:04 Yeah, transforming into something that doesn't require air to breathe seems to be the way to go. Gaseous Form?

I wonder what's the ruling on air inside extradimensional spaces (Portable Hole, Bag of Holding), particularly if there is no breathable air outside the E-D space. There are many innovative solutions to your problem, you just need to tell us what's your situation so we can prescribe the easiest solution.
