Forbiddance Forbiddance was an abjuration spell that blocked all extraplanar travel within an area and warded the area against creatures of alignment s different from that of the caster . Effects . This spell had two major effects that operated on a volume up to one 60 ft ( 18 . 3 m ) cube per level of the caster . The area could take any contiguous shape the caster desired as long as the maximum volume was not exceeded . The first effect was to block all extraplanar movement into or within the protected area . Creatures could not use " teleport " , " dimension door " , " plane shift " , or any other mode of travel through the Astral or Ethereal Plane to enter , move from one spot to another , nor be summoned into the area . All such attempts simply failed . " Forbiddance " also attacked individuals and creatures that crossed the barrier into the protected area based on the difference in alignment with the caster . Creatures of the same alignment suffered no damage . Creatures that differed in either the " good / evil " or " law / chaos " aspect of alignment were smitten harshly as they entered the " forbidden " area . Those that differed in both " good / evil " and " law / chaos " were doubly rebuked . At the time of casting , the priest could set an optional password that allowed friendly beings of different alignments to enter the area unharmed as long as they spoke the password as they entered . The older version of this spell had more stringent requirements but was better at keeping the unwanted out of the affected area . A prerequisite for casting " forbiddance " was that the area be consecrated , presumably to the same deity that the caster worshiped . Next , more weight was given to the " good / evil " axis of alignment than the " law / chaos " axis , and therefore this spell did more damage to the former and less to the latter . And last , when the older version set a password , it was proof against anyone , friend or foe , from entering the protected area for the duration of the spell . This was also true for those who attempted to breach a non - passworded barrier and failed to overcome the magic of this spell . " Forbiddance " could not be " dispelled " by any caster less than the priest ' s level of experience . Components . Verbal and somatic components were required , plus rare incense had to be burned and holy water sprinkled about the area . For a password to be set , even more incense had to be used .

The extra incense for adding a password cost another 1 , 000 gp plus 1 , 000 gp per cube ( 5 , 000 gp for the older spell ) .
