i agree.
well, i'd say it's perfectly fine if you know that your conclusion is, by the rules, erroneous... that's what people like to call "house rules". ;)
first, though, i think you might need to realize that any application of physics that was going on here was just a mental exercise and was for fun.
technically, yes, an invisible person would be blind, but i would be pretty disturbed if anyone actually played it like that...
not quite. viewers of the person going invisible do not get a Will save. as was stated earlier, the Will save is for unwilling recipients of an invisibility spell.
now... grab a broom, close your eyes, extend both arms out at 45 degree angles to your body, and try to touch your opposite hand with the broom handle... quickly.
this is a fantasy game, people... mowing a lawn is like going to the bathroom; you don't need to do it, it's just assumed to have occured at some point. :)
...unless you want to get into "what spells would be good for going to the bathroom?", at which point i submit the ever useful unseen...
bah. just think of WotC as the Ultimate DM and you won't have a problem. you can bitch about a ruling your DM made, but it won't change the fact that is how he/she/it ruled, right? ;)
in this situation, i'd have to rule "no". even with haste, i seriously doubt there'd be enough time to stop from charging speed, pivot your mount 180 degrees, then charge again.
the whole "move and ready a partial charge in a different direction" thing, though... i'd most definitely allow...
did anyone ever consider the time it would take a flea to crawl and hop it's way to the dragon, then up to it's ear? the rest of your party could very well be dead or unconscious, or already have defeated the dragon in that amount of time.
of course, casting fly first would solve that problem...
wow, sooo... you're telling us you wouldn't be happy if, say, your girlfriend broke up with you, only to have an even better girl, in all respects, take her place?
for christ's sake, let the guy go already... stop being petty. geez...
those suggestions may have been in jest, but if they don't at least give you an idea as to "what other "distractions" can force a concentration check", then i for one have no clue what you're asking for...
a passive spot/listen check is what you roll normally. if a situation provides the opportunity to see/hear something, make the player roll (or roll the check yourself). if they've been told specific things to look/listen for, give them a +2 circumstance bonus.
for your example, i might give the...
umm.... the casting time of antilife shell is "1 full round". a spell with a "1 full round" casting time does not come into effect until just before the caster's initiative on the next round. the caster's opponents all get a chance to interrupt the spell before it goes off...
i've thought about doing that... it gives a group of seven 8th level an "average" (used very loosely) character level of 14.
do you think a CR/EL 14 is appropriate for seven 8th level characters?
complaint: "gods don't have stats yet! how can we kill them if they don't have stats?!"
wotc: "you aren't supposed to kill gods."
complaint: "but we want to!"
wotc: "ok. here's some stats."
complaint: "the stats are too high! how are we supposed to kill these gods?!"
wotc: :rolleyes:
speaking as a representative of the honorable city-state of pittsburgh (hey, i live ~40 minutes south), i would like to pre-emptively block any motions to allow florida any input in any decision-making process. this, of course, is only if supreme lord commander general limper allows them any...
let me just say that "must guess target's location" is not a quantitative value. i don't know if that means anything to anyone, but i don't believe it qualifies as a miss chance.
