Using Shape Earth
Is it possible to make a 2 yard hole below someone using Shape Earth and move nearby dirt around the surface of the hole to make a 2 yard high wall to surround the hole, all in one concentration?

Re: Using Shape Earth
Yes but its stated that the earth is moved out slowly enough that someone can move away.
It is not a disintegration spell so it does not suddenly vanish it is more like an invisible shovel or shifting sand. |

Re: Using Shape Earth
Yes, but the idea is to move the dirt away from below the opponent so that they will stumble, while raising dirt around them simultaneously so they can't jump out right away. Plus, unless they take a wait action, how would they get to move on the turn that I'd be causing this, unless they took the wait action "move away when something happens in my area"

Re: Using Shape Earth
Yeah, shape Earth isn't that fast. They have to stand still and let you do it.

It goes to great lengths to specify it wont do what your asking in the spell description. It is Move 2 which is slower then a normal person and it also says if you try to bury someone they can easily move next turn. |

Re: Using Shape Earth
I guess using earth to air on the dirt below an opponent would be a better choice then?

I would still give a retreating dodge/dive for cover roll to avoid falling in. But its a lot more effective. |

Re: Using Shape Earth
And note the high energy cost. Earth to Water might give similar results burning less FP.
