[QUOTE="(un)reason, post: 5751590, member: 27780"] [B][U]Dragon Magazine Issue 257: March 1999[/U][/B] part 3/8 Sage advice: Do you know any languages if you don't spend a slot on one (yes. You cannot give that language up for an extra slot, even if you have the spells to get around it) Does a 1 on surprise rolls always equal surprise even if you have bonuses (you decide) What penalty do you suffer for being underwater?

Betcha didn't expect that, cully. ) Can you cast spells while grappled. (No. Even verbal only spells are a bugger to get out while you're being groped.)

Wrong school of magic) How near do you need to be to an effect to use storm's spell thrust. (Inside it. No protection by proxy. ) How does a dimensional blade affect flesh ( Brutally, but not that brutally. All D&D characters above 1st level are superhuman, remember.) What happens when undead use channeling ( The usual. Undead immunity to fatigue is like paladin immunity to disease. Magical stuff can get through it ) Are death knights affected by their own fireballs (yes.
