Hey everyone. I wasn't sure what prefix to put on this so I used "Technology" since there wasn't a VTT entry. I know many of the people here are also on the RPTools.net forum and they will already be familiar with this, but I wanted to announce here that MapTool 1.3 is just about "done"...

Hey folks. I've got a player whose PC wants to create a ring of dispel magic. I'm a little leery about his prereqs for the item as it seems too much like a ring of true strike! ;) 1. Usable once per day 2. Minimum caster level (5th level) 3. Immediate action to use I started by...

Do Tiny creatures threaten the square they are in? First some situational background, then I'll give some quotes from the SRD (unspecified in the PF Beta, AFAICT). The party's mage sent his celestial viper familiar to attack an opponent. The viper provokes an AOO from entering the opponent's...

I've got a little intra-party strife going on IMC right now. This is an online game using MapTool and Ventrllo for voip. Seems the rogue has been doing "rogue things" and got caught: detect magic by three different spellcasters found magic auras on the rogue and the party hasn't found any...

I'm building a spellcaster that I'm thinking of giving Improved Feint. The feat requires Combat Expertise, but says that you can feint as a move action and for your next melee attack the opponent does not receive their Dex bonus to AC. The description of the Feint maneuver in the SRD says...

I've got a rogue in my group that plans on taking one level of cleric (or maybe three) and choosing the Trickery domain. The 1st level power is: My question is whether this should be a standard action? Most of the PF domains specify standard actions for their 1st level powers (or they specify...

I'm always leery of allowing material desired by players for the betterment of their characters (who isn't?) so I'd like to get the opinion of the hive on the poison-making rules from the BoVD. I don't own the book myself, but the player has sent me the rules for Craft(poisonmaking) (including...

How can a creature recover more quickly from being stunned? It looks like "dazed" only lasts a single round, but being stunned can last multiple rounds and there doesn't seem to be any counter for it: healing spells don't help, restoration spells don't help, and so on. There are even spells...

Forked from: Is The Apple OS More Stable Than MS Windows? Well, if you can solve most of that stuff "almost immediately", I'm ready and waiting to hear from you. Hence this new thread, so as not to further derail the original one. :) Let's take the issues one at a time: Mail doesn't find...

Seeming error in the database: This happened each time after multiple "refresh" attempts. I'm guessing the latest board conversion didn't get everything. :)

In a nutshell, can an astral construct hit an incorporeal shadow without a miss chance? It seems like the answer should be "no", as they are ectoplasm and not a force effect, but I thought there might be other factors at work. Note that this question is from a campaign without magic-psionics...

I'm confused. :) I'm playing an Ardent (from Complete Psionics) and I've taken the Elements Mantle and the Energy Mantle. The elemental steward power lists the power points required as "3", but I can choose that power at level 1. Which means I can take it but not use it (because it's higher...

That's your opinion. :) There are plenty of spell effects that offer a save as soon a reature enters their area. And I did say that they get their save when they enter the AoE, so they have interacted with it -- after all, they would suddenly turn deaf. The illusion of a wall (such as a...

The description for Trip says, What do you, as a GM, consider the "more stable" phrase to mean? I had a situation recently in which a player tried to trip a large creature with a huge weight advantage. We're talking a 5,000 lb giant vs. a 250 lb Medium-sized human. Would that qualify as...

My players are upset with the way I ruled a few things tonight. I'd like some input from the hivemind regarding how I should've handled this. 1A. My BBEG cleric cast blade barrier. I ruled that it took an entire 5-foot square along a line of squares (one side of the room to another). To...

I'm reviewing a cleric build for the campaign that I'm running and looking for unusual uses or combinations of spells. Since the cleric has the Empower Spell feat, I'd like to find a good use for it. So here come some questions. The first one is in the subject line: if this cleric uses...

Hey folks. I'm pretty happy with the group that I'm running through RttToEE, except... We have been cut down to just 3 players (1 man, 2 women). We are all long-time gamers, ages range from 25 to 45, non-smokers and, for the most part, non-drinkers (although I don't mind having a beer on an...

I brought this question up on another forum (Monte's RttToEE forum) because it isn't clear to me at all. Some google'ing of certain sites (this one, WotC's, and Monte's) only returned a few hits, and the ENworld hits were many years old (pre-dating 3.5E, I think?). My question concerns an...

Is there a RAW on this? I can't find anywhere that the rules say you can, or cannot, cast spells underwater. But I would think that without a water breathing in effect, any attempt to cast while underwater would, at the very least, have a Concentration check. Maybe using the "distracting...
