A Wall of Darkness has an alignment that is identical to that of the caster with regard to good, neutrality or evil. Anyone may attempt to pass through a Wall of Darkness. Compare the target's (person attempting to pass through the wall) alignment with that of the wall and consult the following table.

Effect One - Make Magic Save
- Success - Pass through at normal TMR.
- Failure - Lose half TMR for the round.
- Ex: Bart has TMR of 50. He moves 10 feet and passes through wall. He fails his save so he loses 25 from TMR for the round as he struggles through. He can move 15 feet when he gets out 5 segments later (assuming he started movement on 10).
Effect Two - Make Magic Save
- Critical/Grievous - Pass through at normal TMR.
- Success - Lose half TMR for the round.
- Failure - Unable to pass through the wall this round.
Effect Three - Make Magic Save
- Grievous - Pass through at normal TMR.
- Critical - Lose half TMR for the round.
- Success - Lose half TMR for the round and suffer 1d4 damage per two ranks (round down).
- Failure - Unable to pass through the wall this round and suffer 1d4 damage per two ranks (round down).
The caster can pass through their own wall without impediment without having to make a saving throw.
Creatures of Darkness are unimpeded by Walls of Darkness regardless of alignment. This includes demons, devils, intelligent undead, and many other evil extra-planar creatures. |
