This was brought up in my last gaming session, and I just want to check to see if there were any rules which would come into play.
Our mage got wounded, and he offered to just stay out of the sewers and cast +3 reaction spell on both the troll and the ork, then send them down into the sewers whilst he stayed in safety. Is this kosher? Are there rules against this? I made a GM judgement against this, but I'm curious to see if it is possible. How far can a char with a mage's spell on him go before the spell dissapates due to distance or out of line of sight, or something else? I.E. can a mage cast stealth on someone and have that guy board a plane to Abu Dabi and still have it active? |
