Hello, I have a question about resilient spher / Wall of force or similar effect.
Resilient sphere :
You create an immobile sphere of force to either trap or protect the target, blocking anything that would pass through the sphere. The sphere has AC 5, Hardness 10, and 40 Hit Points. It's immune to critical hits and precision damage. Disintegrate destroys the sphere instantly.
Wall of Force :
The wall has AC 10, Hardness 30, and 60 Hit Points, and it's immune to critical hits and precision damage. The wall blocks physical effects from passing through it, and because it's made of force, it blocks incorporeal and ethereal creatures as well. Teleportation effects can pass through the barrier, as can visual effects (since the wall is invisible).
Wall of force is immune to effects of its rank or lower that attempt to counteract it. The wall is automatically destroyed by a disintegrate spell of any rank.
1/ a/Does resilient sphere block any physical attacks or aura or area effect from spells or abilities?
Does it block the teleportation effect ?b)Area effects reduces Hit Points if there are damages.
c) Can a caster cast spells outside the resilient sphere with a familiar outside the resilient sphere ?
2/ Same question with wall of force. Only wall of force blocks incorporeal and ethereal creatures.
Thanks for your future answer.
1.a) Yes because it's "blocking anything that would pass through the sphere". Anything IMO includes all effects.
1.b) It's pretty RAI but I consider the Resilient Sphere as an object. The the old CRB have the note in the Areas rules saying:
... The GM determines any effects to the environment and unattended objects.
So usually against objects that doesn't have an AC or Reflex most GMs consider that any attack or save always hit but never crits except for NAT 1 or 20.
But there are no clear rules about damage objects and other things that doesn't have AC or Saves.1.c) What is the specific ability that you talking about.
2) My answer to the point 1.a already responds this. Blocking anything means anything so it also blocks incorporeal and ethereal creatures too.
A curious note. Resilient Sphere wasn't ported to PC1. Maybe it could end as a "removed" spell from remaster or maybe can ported into PC2 with a different name or mechanics.
