Hello everyone,

i am wondering how to handle an Antimagic Field that is cast by a huge or larger creature.

The text says it is a 10 ft. emanation centered on you but if 'you' are larger than the ever 5'6" medium human, does it extend by your size. So 10 ft. means 10 ft away from you skin or does it mean "ancient dragon antimagicked his belly nothing else".

Any suggestions?

Fairly certain I just settled this.

There is way too much focus on the "Centred on you" line and not enough on two other crucial details.

"An invisible barrier surrounds you and moves with you."

So none of that silly "Only the dragons belly has an anti magic field!" The field covers all of you, regardless of your size.

"10-ft.-radius emanation"

Can we google the definition of that word really quick?

Issue or spread out from (a source): "warmth emanated from the fireplace"; "she felt charm emanating from him".

So with this understanding, we rule that an Anti-magic field covers an entire creature, regardless of size, plus 10 feet spread out beyond him. Additionally, it doesn't matter if your munchkin PC's make themselves Colossal, cast this spell, then return to Medium size… in each case the Anti-Magic Field covers them and emanates in a 10-ft radius beyond them.

Hope this helps! It's helped me, and I came here with the same question.

My question/confirmation request is this. A Colossal Dragon casts Anti-Magic Field. Now it's centered on the caster. The caster, being a colossal dragon, takes up 25 feet of space. Now the Anti-Magic Fields radius is 10-feet. So that means(provided I'm understanding this correctly, and the spell's radius doesn't extend based on caster's size) that the dragon's space is larger than the spell's radius?

So then one wonders, why would a larger dragon even bother casting anti-magic field? Since it seems to do the dragon no good. Not big enough radius to extend to enemy targets, and not a big enough radius to fully cover the dragon.
