So a player in an upcoming campaign brought up the spell Force Chest (SpC) and we had an interesting discussion regarding how it actually worked.
The main question was whether or not the chest was movable from its initial position. My initial thought was that no it wasn't. It is made of walls of force and force effects are stationary when not specified otherwise and the spell doesn't allow it to be moved.
He argued that other force effects can be moved (Mage Armor, Shield, Etc) and nothing specifies it can't be moved and it is just made out force not literally the same as the spell Walls of Force.
I am curious on the playgrounds thoughts on the spell. The SpC artwork for the spell seem to imply it being mobile as the lich casting the spell is cradling the force chest in its arm but as it is a still picture so it isn't definite.
There was also the concern of one player being a tiny psionic character hiding inside the chest and using the burrowing power feat to use the force chest as a mobile invincible fortress but that's a separate issue that needs to be addressed :smalltongue:
