Emanations and death
This deals with a magic spell, but it's more a rules question than a magic question, so I'll put it here. In my campaign, my PCs have encountered enemies that cast Antimagic Field.The PCs, after some...

I agree that the antimagic field doesn't stop because of the death of the caster. I would at least give the character in the field a roll to notice magic isn't working, possibly the PC even notices...

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure there's something in the FAQ about spells only checking targets when they're cast. For example, if something starts out as a person, then has charm person cast on...

Arlechino is correct, the FAQ has stated that spells check for targets upon casting, not while they're active.As Arlechino says, that allows a spell targeting people (such as Charm Person) to continue...

Ah, but antimagic doesn't target a creature. It is, instead, an emanation centered on "you". So the question (although irrelevant in this case because the spell only checks once), is whether your...

so if they stop being a person and stop being an animal the spell keeps going but if they stop being a person and start being really really objectlike the spell doesnt keep on going?or does bashing a...

No- no matter what happens to the character, a spell won't end because it ceases to be a valid target (it might end if the spell says it ends on death, though). You can't cast Enlarge Person on a...

Elantir,Yeah, unfortunately, protection from XYZ can't really be generalized. This is because it states the rules governing it explicitly (suggesting, if anything, that it is an exception). It also...

Starwed- are you suggesting POAing the fighter, then casting an animal-only spell on her, then turning her back, with the spell still in place? It's possible that that WOULD be overpowered (though...

Yah, it's an expensive technique, given that the spell setting it up, is itself 8th level. Note, too, that the fighter's losing the benefit of most/all his equipment, or that it's requiring the major...

Seems the situation has gone away form the original topic, would the field drop when the creature dies. I would say so. I don't know if its the exact reading of the text but it seems if you cast a...
