Why would a DM not allow the Polymorph spell? As it is now, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Confusing cross-referencing has been fixed, and monsters now reference Alternate Form instead. Now, the designers did edit every monster by saying: Every monster that references Polymorph...

But the presence of the fire elemental would mean that it was no longer dark-- it would be a light source! Kinda like trying to hide in the dark if you're surrounded with faerie fire...

I tend to agree, Runestar-- I don't ever remember an exact statement that rings had to be worn on fingers. What if you had a tentacle, or a claw? Rings do re-size... I think regular limit to "2 per individual" is really the only rule, unless you had a feat or magic item that allowed use of...

Good point-- i.e. having a Brooch of Shielding floating around w/in a water elemental. You can still apply the "item slot" rules-- the elemental would still only be able to make use of only 2 rings, for example. Stranger things have happened! Anyway, going on with the "container" question...

Yeah, like that's never happened before! One point though, Ed Greenwood was a co-author of the book, and he is usually a fan of continuity, so that's why I'm not sure how this effect works. Obviously, the spells arointed by the Ward just don't work, no matter who casts them. (unless you have...

Hmmm, descripton of the air elemental doesn't say anything about length or width... So, assuming human-proportion length and width, how many cubic feet would be needed to hold a large air elemental? How about a huge one??

Okay, I have some questions about elementals. 1) If an elemental is in it's natural environment, is it any harder to spot? For example, if a fire elemental were inside of a fire, or a water elemental in a pool of water? What if an air elemental was just kinda floating around in the air? 2)...

Question about a campaign in Silverymoon, referencing specifically Silver Marches-- Silverymoon has a Ward, much like a Mythal. The Ward has Prevailing spells/effects, described as "applying continuously". What exactly does this mean, especially for the antipathy effect? The usual target for...

Jhaelen-- But when you're increasing from a size small to a size medium, there is specifically only a x2 difference in need for food/water. Wouldn't the same factor correlate to a size change from medium to large? The same "body mass" increase would apply, whether you're going from small to...

Arkhandus-- thanks, I appreciate the help! I no longer have a 3.0 PHB, I didn't know that the saddlebag volume was actually listed in there. Any engineers/mathmaticians/equestrians out there know how many days of feed can fit in 5 cubic feet of volume?? Hmmm, there does seem to be a little...

Quick question-- I don't remember exactly where the rules are for large sized creatures and characters, what are their food/water requirements? I know for medium-sized characters it's 1 gallon of fluids and 1 lb. of food in normal environments, and for small characters it's half as much-- is...

So, Vegepygmy, if I read this correctly, Escape From A Grapple says: Now, Escape From A Grapple really refers to the grapplee, not the grappler-- but if you use it to apply to the grappler, does that mean that the grappler (in this case the owlbear letting go of the ranger) would have to move...

Hmmm, as far as I know you'd have to get your mount the Spring Attack feat-- or Fly-By Attack, if it were a winged mount... so as far as Spring Attack goes, the mount would have to of course have Dodge and Mobility first, and a Dex of 13+. If we're talking about a light or heavy warhorse, this...

Okay, our group does pretty well with Grapple rules, the Rules Compendium helps out well and for the most part streamlines the process. Here's my question, not covered in the Rules Compendium (or PHB, from what we could find...)-- what happens when a monster with Improved Grab chooses to let go...

Hmmm, good find Nebten... I was initially going by what the PH said, i.e. "...depend on a character's ability to dodge out of the way." I guess if the rule is in the FAQ though, that would stand. It doesn't seem very realistic, but I could see how the designers were most likely concerned about...
