Contingency (Teleport) and Dimensional Anchor

[shea83]

Hello, i can't figure out which of these two effects would have the "priority".
I mean: supposing a wizard has contingency set to teleport away whenever he's being targeted by any spell (yes, even magic missile), if another caster wins initiative and cast Dimensional Anchor on that wizard...what would happen ?
case A) Contingency is triggered and wizard is teleported BEFORE anchor takes effect
B)Dimensional Anchor "wins" only if being quickened
C)wizard is anchored even with normal anchor cast, cause contingency starts AFTER the effect of the spell received.

Thanks

Based on my reading of the Contingency spell, it would seem to depend on how you phrased the trigger. If you said "when effected by a spell" then it would trigger AFTER the dimensional anchor, and fail. If you said "just before effected by a spell" then it would teleport you properly.
Since you stated the trigger as "being targeted by a spell" it would trigger as the spell was being cast, when the caster designates the target (in this case, when they point their finger at you to project the ray). This means you would teleport away before the effect hit you.
Since it is a ray I'd check for targets in the same line other than the intended and roll a 50/50 chance that the ray's attack roll is against them instead, but I'm cruel like that.

Note that only spells with durations generally begin working again after a suppressing effect ends. Instantaneous effects simply fail (I'm extrapolating this from how anti-magic fields work).
