    Crafting, Resources, and D&D

    In my experience, the various crafting skills help offset/earn the extra cash low-to-medium PCs always seem to need, either repairing/replacing (and improving) existing gear, assisting local frontier villages, and etc. Another point to consider is most PCs routinely venture FAR beyond...

    How To Best Use The Magic Stick

    Off the cuff, it seems a pointless waste of spells to use your standard action to cast Celerity(4th level) to gain another standard action to cast Snake's Swiftness (2nd level) to cast a melee/ranged spell ... when you could have simply used the first standard action to attack.

    PDFs of books I own

    Agree with Treebore ... US copyright states you may have an electronic version of your purchased book for PERSONAL use. It does NOT state YOU must do the scan/conversion yourself thus -DOWNLOADING- it from someone else should be legal. It's UPLOADING thats illegal since you cant...

    Wizards and healing spells

    Easy enough to justify under RAW. According to RAW, "Despite these different ways that characters use to learn or prepare their spells, when it comes to casting them, the spells are very much alike." implying Arcane and Divine are simply differing ways of understanding and applying the...

    D&D 5E Wizard's new spells

    IMO the default presumption is magic is relatively commonplace so gaining spells essentially entailed visiting the nearest Major city's Wizard College Library for some quick research. Presumably the resulting entrance exam/sweet-talking mechanically resulting in granting you an allowance equal...

    Quiver of Ehlonna - how does it work?

    Q1: Opening the desired compartment is a free-action since according to the quiver's description the user simply needs to inform (ie Command) the quiver which storage space to open and RAW states "In general, speaking is a free action that you can perform even when it isn’t your turn."...

    Hunger Games inspired dungeon questions- Projected Scrying Options

    A sorcerer/wizard is assigned to observe a particular participant via an Arcane Eye, projecting the resulting visual information to everyone else via Silent Image. Since you're the DM, perhaps the Arena organization automated the process either via a customized device or combo-spell.

    Need help with a dispute re: Druids and shared spells

    RAW agrees with Side-A. "At the druid’s option, she may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) she casts upon herself also affect her animal companion. .... A druid and her animal companion can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type...

    Enchantment (Charm) [Mind-Affecting] and Hive Minds?

    hmmm a case could be made flanking and flat-footed are conditions applicable only to the formian(s) in the immediate encounter area (ie the group), implying such spells work normally until those affected rejoin those unaffected. IWO having encountered a formian, you could Charm it to...

    Enchantment (Charm) [Mind-Affecting] and Hive Minds?

    "Hive Mind (Ex): All formians within 50 miles of their queen are in constant communication. If one is aware of a particular danger, they all are. If one in a group is not flat-footed, none of them are. No formian in a group is considered flanked unless all of them are." The unstated...

    D&D 5E Is It Time To Not Assign Spellcasting Classes ANY Casting Mechanics?

    Personally, I would unify ALL spells (clerical, druid, psi, sor/wiz, etc) using a core user-customizing mechanic like McWod with the individual classes providing the corresponding fluffy description to provide initial differentiation with Specialization modifying either cost or casting difficulty.

    Attack with shrink items/weapon

    RAI/houserule: The falling rules apply regardless of which direction the object falls, since "falling" sideways into a wall/etc at 60ft per second is essentially the same as falling downward into the ground at 60ft per second, with both objects incurring the same amount of damage. Generally the...

    Feats for your pet friends

    True, however the last portions of those sentences become irrelevant unless familiars CAN advance independent of their Master since all familiars begin with fewer hit dice than their Masters. "Hit Dice For the purpose of effects related to number of Hit Dice, use the master’s character level...

    Ruling on the Black Hole Arrow

    Unlikely. While its true throwing a grenade is often a viable option, this is an expensive one-shot idea with minimal results since by the time a group can feasibly obtain the portable hole and bag of holding, chances are they're facing either numerous minions (negating the effectiveness of a...

    Ruling on the Black Hole Arrow

    Saagael's concept seems reasonable ... however fail to see the Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction facet since RAW states -ONLY- the bag and hole are actually destroyed in the resulting dimensional implosion, while everything else within a 10ft radius is planeshifted to a random location on the Astral...

    Feats for your pet friends

    Each Hd gained advances the Familiar like any other Magical Beast, so it gains 2+Int Mod skill points, +1d10 hit dice (but uses half its master's hp if result is more), +1 BAB, and 1 +1 feat per 3 Hd per RAW. However, they have Int >6 so -should- (depending upon you GM) have the option to...

    Pathfinder 1E 'Curing' a cursed item?

    It seems reasonable to make a Spellcraft check to determine which spell went awry during casting, then remove THAT specific effect using a Targeted Dispel Magic per RAW. Presumably this explains the relative rarity of cursed items: most Crafters know this and correct their mistakes before...

    Nauseated flanking

    True, however since the foe doesnt know you cant attack it should continue consider your adjacent allies potential threats and react accordingly, thus providing you with the circumstantial flanking bonus.
