Thread Title : Realms spell question 1e&2e

In the Old Empires accessory is a 1st level spell called barrier. It protects caster from all physical damage for 5 hp per level to a max of 25 hp. The caster cannot attack or cast offensive spells through it. Now my question is can a caster with this spell in effect jump or fall to where normaly they would take damage and the spell absorb the damage?
Thanks

It could go either way -- it would not be extremely unbalanced to allow it, since featherfall is also 1st level, and the spell's usefulness is not really hampered by denying it. So, it's mostly a flavor matter, depending on whether the effect is a sort of force field that blocks incoming blows (in which case it would not prevent falling damage) or a cushion effect (in which case it would work for falling damage).

Are there any exceptions listed in the spell description for what it protects against ?

Assuming not, I'd be fine with letting it protect against falling damage.
