Hi all,

I was reading some of the dragonlance books and i found this spell:
Barrier of deflection
Evocation (Force)
Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You surround yourself, or any single creature touched, with an invisible barrier of force, creating a personal shield that repulses physical attacks. The barrier provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC, as well as causing 1d6 points of force damage to any creature that strikes you with a melee or touch attack, while the field surrounding you backlashes.
Material Component: A small steel mirror.

I was wondering, how does it interacts with an antimagic field? It would be immune like a wall of force or it would be suppressed as usual?

Thank you.

It would be suppressed. Each spell that is immune to antimagic fields has language to that effect in its description.

Unless it says it's unaffected, it's effected. Thus, it's supressed like any other spell.
