I have two quick questions about physical barrier:

1: The spell says it forms a dome - but assumes you are on the ground. Could a levitating character use it to form a bubble? 1.5 would be: Is the barrier mobile? (My mage is a scuba enthusist)

2: The whole "goes down if it gets hit with one heavy pistol shot" thing again - I've always read "Penetrated" to mean "reduced to zero BR" in that spell, my principle thought process being "Why are there rules for reduction and replenishment in BR if you can just shoot through it?" but I'm finding some people here have an . . . alternate view.

I'm mostly interested in thoughts on 1, because my group sees 2 my way ;), but I'd like to hear arguments on both sides, if people feel like rehashing it. If the majority opinon on PB would be that it does go down, what change to drain would you recommend for re-desiging it to make it work like a standard barrier? Like a bubble shaped only, mobile, standard barrier version?

How much pressue could that take. . . ?
