voice rules?

So, theoretically if someone uses a voice carried spell you can reflect it, right? But you can?t dodge a voice carried spell, right? Ho w about this: say someone uses a voice spell on me, I say reflect. Then the person that used it originally says reflect. Now, can I dodge the double reflected voice carried spell? Does the form of the spell change when it is reflected? Or would that be like dodging an echo? Theoretically you could not reflect a sound unless you changed the form of the spell. And if you could reflect a voice wouldn?t that be like creating an echo? And doesn?t everyone hear an echo? So therefore if you reflected a voice then everyone would here that echo so it would be like doing the same thing twice, right?

Techinically, by the rules of the dodge skill, you can dodge a voice effect. (It is explicitly stated that the only effects that cannot be dodged are waylays, traps (except weapon traps), and killing blows.
 
oh, crap! that defeats the entire purpose of the question!

but thanks.....i guess....*sigh*

woot i can dodge sounds.....
 
A voice effect may only be subjected to the rules of a spell shield (or reflect magic) if the called effect is "Voice Magic X". Same applies if the call is "Voice X poison" (as applies to poison shield. Effectively, it is treated as if a single packet with the named effect strikes you.

Under MY interpretation (Dan, you'd be the final word on this), not declaring magic for an appropriate magical effect (eg "voice magic web") would be considered a flub.

Can you spell shield a voice effect?

does that answer your question?
 
Actually, from one interpretation I have heard, a voice effect is, in itself, a carrier. Since you cannot combine carriers, you cannot do voice magic x, only voice x. This actually goes very against the purpose of the voice effect (to make a viable area effect spell/effect).

The way *I* interpret it? You can spell shield it if the spell is something you could normally spell shield (battle magic), poison shield it if it something you could poison shield, risist it if... you get the picture.

Now try this one on for size... Voice Greater Fae Curse Obliterate.

I would rather not, as the town as a whole would, at once, go Splat.

If I blow my Cloak Greater Command and my Bane Curse, can I make the bastard who yells this suck it down? :laugh:

Voice effects are considered magical in nature, and can be resisted as such.
 
Voice Greater Fae Curse Obliterate

wouldn't it be Greater Fae Curse Voice Obliterate?
 
"Voice Sleep! ... Spell shield... Voice Sleep! ... *everybody but the 2 biata in the room drop* Resist! *Both biata take off running*"

Ahh... Resists good, Dave bad.

You'd get more progress calling for a Marshall...

Just a friendly reminder that PCs do not have the right to ask to see an npc's card, but they do have the right to have a marshall check it.
