Wall of Force; Can you make them taller?


Rules Questions


We all know that a Wall of Force has to be a flat surface, right? It can't turn a corner.
But can you make it taller than 10 feet?

Let's say I'm a level 10 caster. I have ten 10 foot squares. Obviously I can make a wall that's 100' long and 10' high. But can I make one that's 50' long and 20' high?

(For reference, Wall of Ice specifically says you can do that. But I can't figure out if you can do that with a Wall of Force too.)


Sure, I don't see anything in the spell description that limits the height.


Absolutely, so long as (a) it is continuous and unbroken; and (b) it is comprised of a number of 10-foot squares less than or equal to your caster level; and (c) it is flat and vertical.


Perfect! That was what I as figuring but wanted to get opinions just in case.

So a Wall of Force that is three 10' wide sections with the two outer sections being 10' high and the middle one being 30' would be allowed. (Assuming a CL high enough to have five 10' x 10' sections.)


I'm honestly not sure about that configuration--it depends on what the design team meant by "continuous and unbroken"--but that seems fine to me.
