Only if you were picking your nose at the time.

Cleric Clerics basically win, so there's no problem with just "being a Cleric". By mid-levels, you can fulfill any role you want just by changing your spells. Howecver, Improved Turning is a horrible feat, and only worth it if you're going for an absolutely maximised turning build (and...

No, no he can't. If you re-read my post, you'll see that the rock is only 2ft in diameter. At its widest point, that amounts to an area of pi square feet (3.142); or in other words, just over an eighth of the area of a 5ft square. How does he not have to make a to-hit roll? If you want him...

No, it isn't! I put it to you that you've never had a job that involved moving beer barrels around... :lol: 252 gallons isn't nearly as much as it sounds. A beer tun holds 1311 litres (gallons vary so much from country to country and even with different materials measured that I don't want...

On boulders, spells, and why this isn't nearly as good as it looks... Some simple facts for you, which might help clear up some misconceptions: 1) Rocks are very heavy things indeed 2) An 8th-level Wizard can Levitate up to 800lbs, or 362.87kg. 3) The density of granite - your traditional...

Meh. You're right, of course, but there are several corner-cases where the edges get a bit blurry... One that leaps to mind is Distracting Ember, the Swordsage maneuver. On the one hand, you summon a Fire Elemental explicitly to "threaten" an opponent so that you or an ally can gain the...

Not that I think I can add much, but... Illusions. Even a silent image of a Big Freakin' Wall can provide total concealment to your party whilst you get close enough to bring on the pain. From the look of your party setup you don't have obvious recourse to that sort of thing, but a simple...

No. The prerequisite is to have Energy Resistance as a class ability. Classes that have this ability include Champion of Gwynharwyf (BoED), Sentinel of Bharrai (BoED), Warlock (CArc) and some associated prestige classes (Eldritch Disciple, Enlightened Spirit), as well as Favored Soul...

It's considered an Exotic Weapon. It's not a shortsword, dagger or anything else when qualifying for feats and abilities: it's an exotic weapon. If your DM is feeling lenient, he or she might permit it to "count" as a shortsword (the weapon it's described as being most like) for purposes...

Your memory is not off :) The feat in question is Metamagic Spell Trigger, it can be found in Complete Mage, and the pertinent text from same answering Mr. Curmudgeon's question runs thusly: The feat allows you to modify a spell cast from a staff with any (one) metamagic feat you know...

The actual quote is "A creature with a fly speed can move through the air at the indicated speed if carrying no more than a light load." This can be read in one of two ways: 1) It can only move through the air if carrying no more than a light load: the reference to "the indicated speed" is...

Yes, this. The owl can carry up to 6.5 pounds and still fly: 13lbs for a light load at 4 Str, halved because it's Tiny. As such, if the wizard and his gear weigh more than 52lbs before casting reduce person, the owl can't carry him. Also, as Vegepygmy says, do make sure you understand the...

I doubt your "increasing something's size" approach would work: the forcecage caveat aboute enclosing a creature too large for it could easily be ruled to apply only at the time of casting. The spell description says the bars are "similar to a wall of force" and the latter spell description...

As irdeggman says, spiritual weapon would not provoke an AoO (although it is not a weaponlike spell). Think of a ranged attack like this... You're not having to stop and point your finger/aim your bow at a moving target with spells such spiritual weapon, you're just taking a move action to...

My entire post was with a view to helping the OP with his gaming group's objections to him tripping whilst holding a greataxe. His group's objection is to the notion that one can make an unarmed melee touch attack whilst holding a greataxe. As such, I pointed him to the only reference I could...

Pearl of Black Doubt: there has never been a better reason to adventure with fifty blind 1st-level commoners dual-wielding rolled-up newspapers... Seriously though, the only time any gaming group I've been a part of has made extensive use of followers or hirelings (as opposed to cohorts), the...

Start with an environment that's very much under your control and one in which the players can learn their characters without going off the rails or worrying too much about interacting with the "background". One of my most consistent findings with new players is their desire to make...

Hullo and welcome! :) Yeah ;) Yes. Of course, the wording of this feat and the description of the trip attack is written with the assumption that there are only two possibilities: tripping whilst unarmed, or tripping with a trip weapon... :hmm: This phrase might help a little: "you...

These rules are specific call-outs for the "natural 20". Most of the other things you list are opposed checks, which don't have automatic successes or failures regardless of the unmodified d20 rolls. So yes, you're correct :)

Basically, your DM's argument boils down to "I just don't like idea very much". There's nothing in the rules to support the notion that there's such a thing as a "dagger-throwing mode": so long as all the things you want to throw are accessible so you don't need to take a move action to get to...
