Kinda risky, getting that close and casting a spell ... On Share Spells, from the SRD: (I'm assuming that you're aware that True Strike has range Personal, and cannot be cast on anyone except yourself, hence my reference to the Share Spells ability). -AK

Sean K. Reynolds (a name that should be familiar to all D&D'ers) has done an excellent grappling write-up on his web site: www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/grappling.html He also mentions his opinion on using Escape Artist checks to oppose any grapple attempts on a character. (It's not...

Actually, there is an unsettled debate about the number of spells permissable on a single scroll. IIRC, the DMG treasure chart allows for up to 6 spells on a findable scroll. I don't recall there being any cap on the numbers of spells that can be scribed on a scroll (other than the limits...

(emphasis mine.) Agreed. Where we differ is in the case of writing one scroll with two identical spells. Are you sure you're in Camp 1 ("A scroll with multiple spells is still a single magic item."), Not-Sean? ;) With the lack of rules to cover multiple-spell scrolls, we're forced to...

Staffan and Not-Sean: Since your responses are quite similar, I'll address them together. Yup, a wand is quite dissimilar from a scroll. I'll agree whole-heartedly. However, I mentioned the wand as an example of a spell-storing magic item that specifically did not require the requisite spell...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Scribing Scrolls Hoo boy... I usually regret responding to a Not-Sean post... but I can't help myself. :) The part about preparing all the required spells is "spelled" out ( :rolleyes: ) in the rules, but the example of putting multiple copies of the same spell on a scroll is...

Re: Re: Re: Scribing Scrolls Looks to me like you've got a toe in the "Camp 2" camp, Staffan, since you're considering each spell on the scroll to require a separate casting. You don't have to be able to cast 50 magic missiles a day to craft a wand of MM. If you're putting more than one copy of...

From the SRD: (emphasis mine) (emphasis mine) (emphasis mine) The ELH feat would still be useful for characters with primary spellcasting abilities that exceed the minimum needed for the increased Heightened spell level. -AK

From the SRD: I think the "horns (for attacks)" aren't really supported by this spell. Anyone wanna contribute their thoughts on using Alter Self to grant Reach (10-ft)? -AK

When crafting magic items that have a spell requirement, you need to be able to cast the spell once per day during the crafting. (E.g., you don't have to cast 50 magic missiles to make a wand of MM.) -AK

Hmmm... Overrun? :D Let's say Bruiser the Barbarian decides to charge and attack a square that's, oh, how about 15 feet on the other of a door that's 15 feet away. He decides to "overrun" the door. If the door is open, it lets him pass unheeded. If it's closed, the door blocks him. Now it's...

The problem with this "wondrous item" is that it's limited to mages and sorcerers. Drop the familiar requirement, and anyone could make their own light source out of whatever fauna is available. (Though I think an alignment requirement might be appropriate.) Yech. -AK

Combat Actions, Overrun: "(A character can always move through the space occupied by someone who lets a character by.)" -AK

For the most part, yes (as indicated in prior responses). Of course, there are ways to avoid provoking that AoO. Tumble skill, Spring Attack feat, etc. -AK

Elven wizards need 8 hours rest. Whether or not they can get it from the ring, is a bit iffy. It provides the "benefit" of extra sleep while you're sleeping, but elves don't sleep at all. We have house-ruled that it works with elven trance, still requiring 2 hours to meet the 8-hour rest...
