D20 DnD _MAGIC vs anti magic

[Smiles55]

OK i need help on this.

Anti magic aura lvl 6

Greater spell immunity lvl 8 (empowered) spell immunities up to 6 lvl spells.

you can cast Anti magic aura, be immune to any and all cast, area of effect, ray,...all but touch spells, with your immunity, all your buff spells will still work, you cannot cast, anything but touch spells as they will be suppressed while in the anti magic aura.

low lvl war magic..fireballs etc would be used on the fodder troops...but the mage duels start looking like...hmmm awesome Xu ( Wu ) Asian films??...monk like touch attacks....

The DM's attitude is whats good for goose is good for gander...is shifts some power back to those wimpy fighters...(mage bias oops)

your thoughts of the ramifications??...

Our group allows any all D20 content, It can be like "Out of the frying pan into the napalm"

That post is not a very coherent whole. I am unsure what you're asking/talking about, or even if you're asking a question.

Are you suggesting a different version of antimagic aura? One whichexcludes the caster himself? Thus he's vulnerable to touch spells, but not anything with a range longer than personal/touch?

How, in your opinion would that affect the game? Can you give an example or two?

Sorry

The Antimagic aura, creates an area around the caster, say 20 ft, Spell hole in the middle or sculpt spell (meta) allows you to change your spells so that you are immune to area of effect of your own spells.

If you take this idea in a world that is at war...most with the ability would protect themselves with anti magic, except for their 5 ft area. This is where I see the touch attack magic becoming specialized.

My question is- Do you allow Greater spell immunity to allow you to be immune to anti magic aura?

lvl 8 vs lvl 6, or would you say that you cannot be immune to anti magic.

I see the antimagic aura as a spell that pushes magic out of the area of effect, and the Immunity as being immune to the 6th lvl spell

The way I read the two spells, there's only one instance that they interact so that greater spell immunity affects the antimagic field; that of a summoned creature under the effects of a greater spell immunity with antimagic field as the spell to which he's immune. It means that the summoned creature may exist within the AMF, but may not use magic unless occupying a space that is exempt from the shaped AMF; most likely sharing space with the caster.

The reasons are this: the AMF doesn't affect any creatures directly except those who are summoned; it causes them to 'wink-out' of existence, unless their spell resistance is successful. Against all other creatures, it's not doing anything to them; it's blocking their magic. The GSI only stops spells that would allow spell resistance from directly affecting the target, and acts as unbeatable spell resistance. It still affects any magic within it.

That is my take.

PS There's a Q&A thread on the Min/Max board. This could have gone there.
