Hi there, I recently moved to Saskatoon and am looking for a D&D game to join. I'd prefer 3.5e, but would be happy to play in 3e. I'd also prefer a group of more mature gamers (low/mid 20's and up; I'm 26 myself), and a pre-built setting (Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, even Eberron). But...

This one's actually pretty easy to combat. Note the limit of 1 object hurled per caster level, max 15. So, this elven caster would have to be using a custom version of telekinesis that didn't have the "maximum 15 objects" limitation and would have to be somewhere around 200th level to throw...

Ah, Hypersmurf has it. Thanks a tonne. Shame that we're not playing with the variant wizards in the game I'm in. Does anyone know what book this "Rapid spell" feat is in? -Eraslin

I recall reading a feat once upon a time that allowed a spellcaster to reduce the casting time of all of their Summon Monster type spells to 1 action, instead of the regular full round. The problem is that I cannot remember, for the life of me, what the feat is called nor where I read it. Does...

Without quoting any actual rules; just going on inclination. re blindness vs gaze attacks: I'm inclined to say that yes, the blind person is immune to the gaze attack. My understanding of gaze attacks is that one must look into the eyes of the thing doing the gazing. re deafness vs sonic...

Things may have changed in 3.5 (don't have that PHB), but in my 3.0 PHB standing from prone doesn't provoke an AoO at all. -Eraslin

Just out of curiousity, how did the devils find out that you'd memorized the book? Seems like that's something you'd keep a secret, and it kinda would make a really odd commune/divination on the devils part to find out if you did... -Eraslin

Seems right to me. Shame they changed Enlarge to this version of Enlarge Person in 3.5. To get the same effect in 3.0 would require an item costing 5x as much (require a caster level of 5 to get the same effect as the 3.5 enlarge person -- double height, etc). My group played the 3.0 Enlarge...

Aye, hopefully there'll be a clarified version in Complete Arcane. But, in the mean-time, it's easy enough to research a close-range version of any touch range buff spell. ;) -Eraslin

I'm a huge fan of both Extend Spell and Chain Spell. 1 7th level spell and the whole party has +4/+5 weapons/arrows and backup weapons for the entire day. As long as you have a relaxed DM, chained shatter and chained dispel magic are also very awsome. One chained shatter and you can take a...

I know exactly what you mean. My character actually got to use Reverse Gravity for the first time in my gaming life this past weekend. At the time we allowed the affected area to be disjoint (at the time we also didn't know about the 10' minimum dimension). So, my wizard popped a bunch of...

Thanks all. That's pretty much what I was thinking. Though, my reason for thinking that it has to be contiguous is that if not it makes the second question very interesting/sketchy. If the areas are disjoint, would they be treated like different spells for the purpose of dispel magic? For...

A little bump...

Hi there, I've a quick question that I suspect I already know the answer to, but I just want to get other opinions on. If a spell is shapable does its area of effect need to be contiguous? If not, then if one of the disjoint areas of the spell has a dispell cast upon it does that dispell affect...

I tend to agree. I'm inclined to think that an int 6 person would be much more likely to smash the bow followed by any obvious stowed weapons -- such as most any sheathed weapons. Once the bow's smashed, there's no reason to bother smashing the bag that the little sticks come from. Without...
