Wall of Bones, and some questions on it.


Rules Questions


This is a spell belonging to the White Necromancer class, it is a 3rd party class, and it will be appearing in a campaign I will be GMing, and I am wondering about how liberal one could be with its use.

For instance, could I form a wall surrounding a target? Could I form a wall whose pieces overlap, in one continuous piece? Could I form stairs out of a wall? What do you guys think would be reasonable expectations to set, for the use of this spell?

WALL OF BONES
School conjuration (creation); Level sorcerer/wizard 5,
white necromancer 5, witch 5
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect wall of interlocking bones, up to one 10-ft. cube/
level (S)
Duration 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
This spell creates a solid wall of very strong, inter-locking
bones. A wall of bones is 1 inch thick per caster level.
It covers up to a 10-ft.-square area per caster level (so a
10th-level white necromancer can create a wall of bones
100 ft. long and 10 ft. high, a wall 50 ft. long and 20 ft. high,
or any other combination of length and height that does
not exceed 1,000 square ft.).
The wall can be oriented in any fashion as long as it is
anchored. A vertical wall need only be anchored on the
floor, while a horizontal or slanting wall must be anchored
on two opposite sides. The wall cannot be conjured to
occupy the same space as a creature or another object.
A wall of bones can be destroyed by a disintegrate spell
or by normal means such as breaking and chipping. Each
5-ft. square of the wall has hardness 6 and 10 hp per inch
of thickness.
A section of the wall is breached when its hp drop
to 0. If a creature tries to smash through the wall with a
single attack, the DC for the Strength check is 20 + 2 per
inch of thickness.


Additional thoughts, could I form a sphere with a 10ft/caster level surface area?

Could I form a serpentine-like wall in a hallway, effectively creating multiple barriers?
This brings up a lot of questions, and I suppose the biggest one is "What dictates a wall, for the purposes of this spell?"


You could as long as each point of the serpentine is anchored. It's the same style as wall of iron, wall of fire, force, etc. Unlike wall of iron, which gets set in a vertical position only, this one can be oriented any way you want the wall to form, as long as it is supported. Good for caging people.
