Likewise you can cast Spiritual Weapon before melding and then keep attacking with it. Their only potential option is dealing enough damage to the stone to eject you, but especially in a prison that's not really likely to work, it'd likely require tools or magic. In this situation, non-spellcasters who can't move far enough probably don't have any realistic options to stop you and will just die. Not a good idea if you've got friends locked up with you. Keep in mind though the Spirit Guardians lets you exclude "any number of creatures you can see" when you cast it, and since you can't see when using Meld into Stone, it means your guardians will indiscriminately destroy everything in the jail cell if you cast it after melding. So the Guardians will continue to pummel targets. Meld into Stone explicitly says you can cast spells on yourself, so Spirit Guardians is a legal option, and you're still at your old location (since you can't move). Is there stone between you and the outside, or are you the stone that is exposed? This is what the spell and rules do not tell us, but this is what we need to know to answer this question about spirit guardians. Unfortunately, this doesn't get us to a clear conclusion. Let's check that:Ī target has total cover if it is completely concealed by an obstacle. So the questions is: does the description of meld into stone mean we have total cover? It does not explicitly say that we have total cover, but it does not have to if the effect falls under the definition of total cover. While merged with the stone, you can't see what occurs outside it, and any Wisdom (Perception) checks you make to hear sounds outside it are made with disadvantage. Nothing of your presence remains visible or otherwise detectable by nonmagical senses. Using your movement, you step into the stone at a point you can touch. You step into a stone object or surface large enough to fully contain your body, melding yourself and all the equipment you carry with the stone for the duration. To block one of these imaginary lines, an obstruction must provide total cover, as explained in chapter 9.Įrgo, if the caster has total cover with respect to the outside world while melded into stone, then the area of effect of spirit guardians will be suppressed. If no unblocked straight line extends from the point of origin to a location within the area of effect, that location isn’t included in the spell’s area. The answer depends on one thing: do you have total cover while melded?Ī spell’s effect expands in straight lines from the point of origin.
