I recall an ADnD game I watched once.  The wizards were flying, invisible and dropping iron walls on a castle.  The DM has calculated the weight of the walls and when targeted at foes, it was save or die.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

Yammahoper,
 Sounds like me, when I watch some ADnD games I have to save or die. But then again some ADnD games I have seen have been truly innovative and exceptional in nature.

I think, as a GM, I'd consider the casting of the wall a hostile action based on the intent and make them become visible.  However, if the wizards were smart, they'd just fly higher than the range of the castles weapons.  Good tactic though.

Hahahahaha.

You so deserve a laugh point for that.  Please don't watch to many ADnD games.  Even my lucky d20 pops a 1 on occasion.  ;)
