Interesting question about the 8th level Druid spell Repel Metal or Stone.
Hypothetically speaking say a druid uses this spell when there is a PC in full plate in front of them and 20 feet behind the PC wearing the full plate is a 3 feet thick stonewall.
According to the way the spell is written I am lead to believe the following would occur.
The wall would be immune to the spell based upon the parameters given within the spell by being both larger than 3 inches in diameter and being in a fixed location. While the PC in the full plate would get no save and no strength check to avoid the effects of the spell. Leaving them to be repelled into the stonewall pinned to it for the duration of the spell because their limbs being covered in armor. In this scenario they wouldn’t even be able to begin to take off their armor which would take roughly 5 minutes in and of itself according to the rules on donning armor.
Is this correct or is there anything I am misunderstanding?

According to: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/spells/repelMetalOrStone.html
Objects such as metal armor, swords, and the like are pushed back, dragging their bearers with them. Even magic items with metal components are repelled, although an antimagic field blocks the effects. A creature being dragged by an item it is carrying can let go. A creature being dragged by a shield can loose it as a move action and drop it as a free action.
The waves of energy continue to sweep down the set path for the spell's duration. After you cast the spell, the path is set, and you can then do other things or go elsewhere without affecting the spell's power.
They get no saving throw, no strength check.
But ya, as best I can tell, for the duration of the spell, they're either pushed back the entire distance, or pinned against the wall.
