Wind Wall and Firearms

[EvilMinion]

Would a wind wall spell block firearm bullets, as it does arrows and bolts?

Per the spell

Quote:

Arrows and bolts are deflected upward and miss, while any other normal ranged weapon passing through the wall has a 30% miss chance.

As that was written before firearms existed, the question was more if there was an update to what was affected somewhere I was unaware of.

I'll take your response to imply 'no'. =)

AS far as I can tell by RAW, no.

You can deflect arrows and even snatch them from the air, but only because the rules specifically say you can.

Quote:

Deflecting and Snatching Bullets: The Deflect Arrows feat and the Snatch Arrows feat can be used to deflect bullets, but not pellets shot from a scatter weapon. Neither of these feats can be used to deflect siege firearm attacks.

So I don't see any real harm for allowing it in your own game. But by the rules, Wind Wall won't work like it does for arrows and bolts. You would still get the 30% miss chance, however.

I think it probably should, but currently it does not. They do get a 30% miss chance though.
