Can an undead creature with the insubstantial and phasing abilities be immobilized by the Web spell? The creatures do not have immunity to the "immobilized" state, but they do have the ability to move through difficult terrain and phase through objects. Are the webs physically restraining...

The problem with only calculating damage on the start of a turn or voluntary entry is that a wizard could thunderwave his party through a monsters Blade Barrier and no BB damage would be taken.

You're kidding right. :confused: You're saying that resist 30 to Fire/Cold/Electric/Sonic is equal to a 9th level power/spell? Did you know that there's an arcane/divine version that grants total immunity to a specified energy type? I believe Energy Immunity is a 6th level spell. There's also...

Again, different != broken If you restrict the energy powers to a single energy type, are you going to give the psion more powers known? How about the Wilder or Ardent who are even more power restricted? They get so few powers that they need to be able to do more things with them. How often do...

That's pretty harsh. I guess we really don't need anything but the core PC types either. Sounds like someone's wizard got beat up by a psion when they were a kid... :D Yes, Psionics does have some powers that are better than arcane/divine spells. There are many more spells that are better...

Does your group ban or limit arcane or divine casters? There's a reason there are very few psionic related builds on the Optimization boards, Psionics are deemed weak, or better yet, arcane/divine is deemed more powerful. Yes, there are a few "bent" powers, but does that make the whole system...

Yes a Psion can go Nova and burn through a bunch of points quickly, but the party as a whole generally pays for it later. You guys also seem to be overlooking a couple of major issues. Psionic powers generally don't auto scale. It's been brought up a couple of times, seems to keep getting...

Mindflayers are pretty nasty, but I think the problem is more in the party make-up. There's no Druid, Monk, Sorcerer, or Wizard. Not all spells allow SR (summoning and buffs) and PC who know they're going into the underdark should be prepared for monsters with SR (spell penetration, greater...

My opionion (for what it's worth) is that you should go by the size of the creature (small, medium, large, huge...) and not the height listed (flavor text). Would the spell fail if you chose the 10' cube to cage an ogre if he had his arms extended over his head? (I wouldn't think so) Kind of...

Wildshape is Su and not subject to dispelling.

Hmm, would it stack or be a second check if the spell caster is also being damaged by other spells? Nasty senerio, Force Cage (bars), Dimension Lock, Acid Fog, Incendiary Cloud, Cloud Kill. Would there be just one concentracion check or would the damaging spells force a check and the Cloud...

Concentration states that a spell caster must make a check (10+1/2 continual damage). Would the Con loss count as continual damage? If a caster is stuck in a cloud kill, would the damage taken as part of the Con loss force a concentration check?

Under Necromancer, it does says: Would a Wiz3/Cl3/MT10/TN4(wiz) Caster level for Wiz would be 17 Caster level for Cleric would be 13 Should the caster level for necromancy spells be 20 (3+3+10+4) or 31 (17+13)?

In Arms and Equipment, there's a ring of Greater Counterspelling. It allows you to counterspell a spell of 9th or lower that is either cast on you or is casted withing 90' of you. You just have to find someone that can put the spell into the ring for you.

I'm currently running a group of PCs through something similar. They had arena type combats against them selves and against some NPCs that I control. The battles were at different levels (5th, 10th, 15th, and now 20th). using the same character, they have to advance the character they started...
