What stops an aura?


Rules Questions


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Many creatures (and class abilities, spells) have or create auras.
Some effects are obvious (e.g. targets must see or hear).

Some are a bit more vague...if an aura is Su, you are within the radius of effect, and it doesn't say you have to see/hear or provide other limitations does...
Having an inch of dirt on you stop it? (e.g. undead aura, but the creature is currently buried or hiding, covered in dirt.)
Having a cone of silence (or cardboard box) silly I know but is that enough to block an aura?

Do they follow the effects of emanations?

Thanks!

You need line of effect. The rules are not exactly clear on how thick something has to be to block line of effect.

I would not allow curtains to block line of effect, but I would allow glass to block it.

If the cardboard box was big enough I would let that block it, but it would have to be big enough to grant total cover.
