Description
No scrying sensor can enter the area of Forbiddance and no creature can teleport into it, unless the sensor or the creature is higher level than the ritual caster who performed the ritual.
Your Arcana check determines the size of the warded area, which is a burst.
| Arcana Check Result | Warded Area |
|---|---|
| 9 or lower | Burst 1 |
| 10-19 | Burst 3 |
| 20-29 | Burst 5 |
| 30-39 | Burst 8 |
| 40 or higher | Burst 12 |
The warding effect lasts for 24 hours, but the ritual caster (not any assistants) can extend this duration by expending a healing surge every 24 hours to sustain it. The caster does not need to be in the same area or even on the same plane to sustain the effect. If the ritual’s effect is sustained without interruption for a year and a day, the effect becomes permanent.
