The Premise. There is a dearth of 4e games. If you narrow in on good 4e games (whatever that may mean to you in particular, but I generally take it to mean the sort of game you yourself would like to play in) then their number becomes miniscule. With that being the case, the DM’s running these...

What is an Invoker meant to hold in his off hand ? Then can't use shields and Dual Implement Spellcaster is Arcane only, while a weapon of some sort would be possible but not very useful seeing as how they don't actually make melee attacks ... I'll admit that the mental image of a scarred, grim...

Overwhelming Strike allows you to shift 1 and then slide your target 1 into the space you vacated ... What happens if you attack your target with a reach weapon from more than 1 square away ? Do you not move your target at all ? Move it closer but not TO the space you vacated ? Thanks in advance :)

As I read it, a dual implement sorceror with a subtle dagger in his off hand would get the bonus damage whenever he had combat advantage since he is "doing damage with the weapon" ... or am I mistaken and there's a different consensus on this ?

I'm certain someone remembers the old 1E cartoon of a dragin rubbing its tummy and looking all queasy with the thread title in the caption. Last night that situation came up in our game, thought it wasn't actually a dragon, but a behir. It also spawned a little rules controvery that I hope you...

I'm an invisible sorcerer. Two of my party members get hit by a confusion spell. I cast an area dispel on them. Does that break invisibility ? On a slightly different matter- does dispel magic break invisibility if it is cast at a single target ?

1) Do magic missles suffer the 50 % miss chance granted by a Displacement spell ? If all you need to target your missles for an automatic hit is to SEE any part of the target does it matter that the target is actually 2 feet away from where he appears to be ? 2) When Dispel Magic is cast as an...

So, I noticed that Lesser Bracers of Archery, which grant proficiency with any bow or a +1 competance bonus to hit cost 5 000 gp., while the greater version which grants +2 to hit and +1 to damage costs 25 000. Does this seem like an excessive price to anyone else ? How were they priced ? A +1...

Away from my books - I just need a quick confirmation or denial. Are elementals immune to ability damage ? Thanks :)

Do you have to be aware of an incoming attack of opportunity in order to attempt Tumbling past it ? Can you use tumble to avoid an AoO from an invisible opponent ? Can you use it to avoid one if you’re moving 10 ft. away from a guy with a greatsword when the guys wizard friend uses his readied...

Hey gang ! I’ve got two quick questions: 1) Does a protection from alignment spell offer any kind of protection against a charm person spell ? From a RAW standpoint I would think not since the protection offers protection from effects which grant control over the subjects mind which charm...

We just started plying Star wars last month (although we’ve been playing D&D for … decades !) and I’m seeing a slew of unclear and just plain bad rules. There’s so many of them I don’t even want to get into it. At the moment there is just one pressing question: What is the duration of Affect...

I’m certain that this topic has been beaten to death but I just noticed the change and I can’t help but feel that it makes no sense at all. The different method of pricing energy resistant armor and shields in 3.5 is …unreasonable to say the least. I mean would you rather spend 16 k plus on a...

A Vrock has 10 outsider Hit Dice and 5 natural attacks (bite, 2 claws and 2 talons). If you give him 1 fighter level, take the 2-weapon fighting feat and arm him with a pair of daggers does he get 3 dagger attacks with one hand (BAB 11), 1 with the other and the bite and 2 talons as well. It...

I was wondering, does Remove Paralysis negate a stun effect, say from a mind flayer's mind blast ?

Backstory: Older, wiser adventurers steal the Mattus Essendi (henceforth ME), a gigantic falchion from Solven the Grey, Shadowmage, foiling his plan to use the weapon to rip open the space between planes and allow the plane of Shadow to wash over the Prime. They secret it in the permanent dead...

By the DMG bracers of armor +4 cost 16,000 gp. Yet, apperently it would only cost 1,000 gp to make (and 2,000 to buy) a set of bracers imbued with a pemanent mage armor spell giving the same +4 armor bonus. Can this be right ?

Well, my players have finally decided that there are enough matters on their extra-planar agenda to make a trip to Sigil worth their while. Just to make things clear, I love Sigil and Planescape in all of its pre Faction War glory. There is just one tiny matter which irritates me like an itch I...

Bad things will happen and the druid's wolf animal companion was hit by a wight. Living with a neg. level is no problem, but what happens when the poor animal fails his Fortitude save and gets stuck with losing a level ? How do you figure that out ? Does it just lose a Hit Die ? What about the...

Re: Necklace of Missles I know that the necklace is meant to be an item that takes up a slot around your neck - but does it have to be that way. It isn't constantly in effect the way most other amuletrs are and I can see no good reason why you couldn't stash it somewhere and just pull it out as...
