Area: The wall
of stone is 1/4' thick and 20' square in area per level of experience
of the
magic-user casting the spell.
[The wall of stone may be
used to make a bridge]
Effect: This spell
creates a wall of granite rock which merges into adjoining rock surfaces
if the area is sufficient to allow it.
It is typically employed
to close passages, portals, and breaches against opponents.
The wall created need not
be vertical nor rest upon any firm foundation (cf. wall
of iron);
however, it must merge with
an existing stone formation.
It can be used to bridge
a chasm, for instance, or as a ramp.
The wall is permanent unless
destroyed by a dispel magic spell or
by normal means such as
breaking, chipping or a disintegrate spell.
Bridge.DMG:
Any use of the wall as a bridge must be arched and buttressed.
This will require 50% of
the total volume of the wall,
so a 20th level magic-user
normally may create 400 square feet in surface area 5 feet thick.
To use it as bridge,
only 200 square feet can
be considered,
so a span 5 feet wide and
40 feet long could be made (assuming the chasm to be bridged was about
38' wide).
Unsupported spans will automatically
collapse of their own weight if over 20' across.
Wall of Iron, Wall of Stone: PCs would
be
aware that using these spells can raise
certain problems regarding the stability of
the wall, notably when using wall of
stone to bridge chasms, etc. Details are
found in the DMG and players should
negotiate with DMs about how much
exact information their PCs can be ruled
to know. Unfortunately, neither the PH
nor the DMG tell players how much
damage a falling wall will do to creatures
crushed beneath it when the spell is used
as an offensive weapon (walls of iron can
automatically be created in the air; walls
of stone only have to merge with an
existing stone formation at 1 point, and
the PH states that they do not have to rest
upon any firm foundation). Logically,
such information should be part of the
knowledge characters receive when they
are taught the spell.
(Imagine #29)
MC: A small block of granite.
Area.example: Thus,
a Wizard (MU12) creates a wall of stone 3' thick and 240 square feet in
surface area
(a 12' wide and 20' high
wall, for example, to completely close a 10' X 16' passage).
Wu
Jen: This spell creates a wall of granite that merges into adjoining
rock surfaces.
The wall is 3" thick per
level of <the> wu jen and 20 feet square in area per level of the caster.
It may be used to bridge
a chasm, with 50% of the area used for support and buttressing.

Gary. What wall spells are
supposed to be affected by magic resistance?
Ie, if i cast a wall of
iron over a drow, would the drow get squished,
or would his MR kick in>
What about rock to mud under
their feet???
Ciao!
As a matter of fact I did not allow a wall spell to be CAST save if there was some surface the bottom edge it could rest upon.
If you allow them to be cast
into the blue, then MR
will not affect one in falling, as it is not a spell.
MR
does not affect blosw from magic wea[ons, eh?
The same goes for rock turned
to mud.
Cheers,
Gary
