Extent of immunity provided by Earth Elemental Belt

[Darkheyr]

I'm curious about this item:

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/a-b/belt- earth-elemental

According to its description its user "is immune to effects that would push, pull, or forcefully move the wearer."

What does that entail? Anything that changes the 5 ft square the character is in, most likely. But what else? Does it work against trip, for instance? Grapple? At the very least against Grapple from Reach, which would move the user to the originating creature.

Its rather vague, sadly.

Up to the GM.

I think you have it pretty much right, but it wouldn't protect against combat maneuvers that leave you in your own square and I wouldn't let it make the wearer immune to reach grapple - he'd still be grappled but just not moved.

He's also not immune to falling, even "forcefully" so if a mage casts a Pit spell under the wearer, he still falls.

I also wouldn't apply this immunity to magical movement, such as being teleported or plane shifted.

But, ultimately, each GM has to decide for himself.

There's actually a line explicitly excluding teleportation, so thats not an issue, thankfully.

But, otherwise, guess its one of the to-be-interpreted ones.
