Wall Spell, Reflex save and attacks of opportunity


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

The wall spells allow a save if it is created in your square (or even near you, in case someone wants to trap you with a wall of stone).

Lets say you make your Reflex save and get out of harms way. What happens if your square is threatened by a combatant?
Does the movement provoke an attack of opportunity?

The idea I am aiming for is of course, that you align the fighter next to your target. Then you cast the wall. Let's say a Wall of Stone (you wanna trap the sucker).
He makes the save and jumps out of the square just in time... or would like to. But now the fighter makes his attack of opportunity and makes it a trip attack. The trip suceeds and the target lands flat in the square and is trapped by the wall.

Is this correct? Or does movement that stems from reflex saves not count for AoO?


Movement like that was not intended to provoke.
By the spells description it does not even really say you move. It just says you avoid entrapment so being on the other side of the wall does not count as movement. At best it might be determined to be a free 5 ft step since you are not taking a move action to move, nor are you being bullrushed.


Ah I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

It's too bad though ^^


Which is why the Fighter readies an action to bullrush him back under the wall when he jumps out. Sucker.

What gets me is that you can "jump" to the other side of the wall further than you could move in a round.

Up to your chest in mud? You can still save to get out from under the dome-shaped Wall of Stone 10 feet away.


They should have made that spell so you had to be adjacent to the wall in order to escape and not restricted by things such as grapple or anything else that can hold you down.


Ah. Ready action and Bullrush is also neat idea. I may be using that ^^

You didn't move - you weren't in that square to begin with.
