Hi! I'm a bit puzzled by the wording in the description for the Whirlwind ability (air elementals, djinn). From the 3.5 SRD: Does the creature start taking damage in the round it gets picked up (i.e. the moment it fails its second Reflex save), or from the next round onwards? Ditto for the...

To add to the list, the only other Finnish reference I know of is the BECMI artifact called Wife of Ilmarinen.

In Finland, the BECMI set (minus the Immortal rules) was translated in the late 1980s. A Finnish translation of the AD&D 2nd edition was also in the works, but the project was cancelled in the early 1990s when the publisher went under. In 2012, I published a full translation of the 3.5 SRD on a...

Yeah, that's probably a sane way of looking at it. Thanks!

I have a bit of a problem with the wording: So, when a nongood summoned creature tries to enter the area and you fail to overcome its spell resistance, can it then have bodily contact with any character inside the spell area, or do the characters still have individual protection against it...

Yeah, well, the way I see it, you gotta have some drawbacks too for being Colossal. :)

True. And Repel Vermin, RAW, is a fourth-level spell that creates a highly situational protective barrier that has a tiny radius and doesn't move with you. :)

I've always assumed (though it isn't said anywhere in the 3.5 rules) that when an area spell is "centered on you", you select a corner of your space as its point of origin (provided that you're smaller than Large). However, an area spell such as Repel Vermin also states: And the rules on range...

Just a quick heads-up to Finnish ENWorlders and other interested parties: the 3.5 SRD is now available in Finnish, as translated by me. http://www.lohikaarmeenluola.fi/ Enjoy!

Ok, thanks! I think I'll rule it that way as well.

The SRD description of the fog cloud spell says, "The fog obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate...

Whoa, take it easy, man. :) As I'm not a native speaker, I can't afford to make too many assumptions. Yes, I strongly suspected that barbarians do get to keep their rage, but since I felt the wording of the passage was a bit awkward (giving a long list of things you don't get to keep and then...

OK, thanks! I guess I got hung up on whether you get rage by having class levels or just having the class.

Quoth the SRD: My parsing abilities fail me: does the creature lose the rage class feature or not?

OK, thanks for clearing that up!

Hi! Another problem with wording. The SRD says, "Your Disguise check result determines how good the disguise is, and it is opposed by others’ Spot check results. If you don’t draw any attention to yourself, others do not get to make Spot checks. If you come to the attention of people who are...

Thanks, guys! Used it is, then.

Hi! Was just wondering about the Smite Evil/Good ability. In the SRD it says, "Once per day, a paladin may attempt to smite evil with one normal melee attack." Does this mean that the ability is wasted for the day if the melee attack isn't successful? Whereas with creatures eg. celestial...

Oh well, maybe I'll just take a), ignore the wording and assume it's just a patch of bad writing. That seems the sanest option anyway.

Ok, but just to be certain about this: If a), are all the non-instantaneous spells cast by the subject also dispelled, or does the creature just have its spell slots removed?
