The two tables in the SRD I use look to be consistent, though the first one is more complete. http://systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/weapons.html and http://systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/improvingMonsters.html HTH, -Reed

:D It's only a subset of the bigger issue anyway. Do you agree that if the cleric doesn't have a weapon out, then the warrior gets an AoO when the cleric reaches into his square?

Alright, you convinced me, the Cleric should not get an AoO because he is not threatening mid-touch. He threatens before and after, but not during because he is busy doing something else. If he wishes to continue threatening then he must make a melee touch attack to touch his ally and take the...

That is a whole other issue. The same situation would arise with a readied action to strike anyone attempting to touch someone next to you. Warrior1 and Warrior2 are fighting each other. Warrior2 is staggered and about to drop. Not wanting to kill him, Warrior1 readies to attack anyone...

He's not properly wielding it if he's going to touch his ally with the spell, though I'd allow the feint as I describe above to make the warrior think he was threatening to attack. If the ally is in a threatened square, but not a controlled square then no AoO, the rules are clear. This is...

I guess I'm saying that I think that part of their argument is irrelevant. If the body is laying on a table and the warrior is standing on the table, so the cleric just has to reach out and touch his ally, but into the space controlled by the warrior, he has to divert his attention from the...

The detail really doesn't matter. He still has to turn his attention away from the weapon coming at him to look down and make sure his boot touches his intended target for the spell.

My opinion (I'm in the same game with Telas, btw), is that all combat in D&D is abstract. AoOs are provoked by creatures that divert their attention from a threat. If the creature is threatening as well, it can keep its enemies at bay enough to not provoke the AoO for minor diversions of...

My wife and I were both gamers before we met, though we met through a college theater group rather than gaming. We've been married for 5+ years and just had our first child six months ago. At that time, we missed one session of a bi-weekly FR campaign (she plays, I co-DM) and none of my...

Hey Guys, Work has gotten really busy for a while and a friend cajoled me into rejoining his home campaign, so I won't have time to continue. Sorry for bowing out early. Thanks for running an entertaining game, Mav, I enjoyed it. Feel free to use Chen however you see fit, if you want. -Reed

Shafer laughs right along with him. "Thanks a lot. Look, I won't need this unless I do come to you looking for work, so why don't you just hang onto it." Shafer hands the crossbow to Tannin and begins to walk away. After he is out of reach, he turns back, his face once again the half-elf who...

My gaming friends and I used to tell one another to "Roll Initiative" whenever we'd have a disagreement. Occasionally we used the term with our co-workers and boss at the pizza joint. Those were the good old days.

Shafer takes his shot. <<>>

"Actually, I believe it was you who was ripped off, but since I'm a nice guy I'll give you a chance to win it from me. How about a simple little contest of our own? Pick a target and whoever hits closest takes the crossbow. I mean, you've seen me shoot, you're guaranteed to win, right?"

"As you said, I'm no good with this thing. I'll split the difference with you, give me ten gold and I'll gladly let you take it."
