What do you think? Too powerful or balanced and usefull ? Combat Mind Benefit: You may use immediate actions while flatfooted. In addition once per day you may use an additional immediate action in a round you have already used one swift or immediate action. Normal: You cannot use immediate...

MotT is in the DMG page 262. Its just a greatclub +3 that deals triple damage to objects. Also gives -4 to hit unless the wielder has an 18 str. Cost of 25305 gp. What is really the big deal if a high level PC can break a wall? The party wizard could do the same thing with the flick of his...

1. Is sunder a standard action or does it take up one attack (i.e. can I full attack with 3 attacks and use the three to sunder)? 2. Can you use power attack on a sunder attack? 3. Can I attack an object more than once per round? 4. Can I use power attack when attacking objects like doors and...

the case in hand The case in hand is a warforged (favored class fighter) fighter 5/diviner 3/ ranger 2 who has been reincarnated into a halfling (favored class rogue). So if the favored class stays the same its fine, but if it changes then I am facing a -40% exp penalty!

from the author I am the guy that wrote up this spell. All I am looking for is a 2nd level spell that is very similar to shocking grasp but with a larger damage cap. Here is what I want: 2nd level, no save, range touch, does damage with no special stuff stacked on top like stun or blindness. I...

I say A. And make sure the rules questions that made him change characters were fully and without a doubt worked out. There is no need at all to justify how he got the exp from when he left the party to when he met back up with them. This is a game where PCs can go from level one to level 15 in...

Under Cover and Reflex saves on page 151 of the 3.6 PHB it says, "Cover grants you a +2 bonus on Reflex saves against attacks that originate or burst out from a point on the other side of the cover from you, such as a red dragon's breath weapon or a lightning bolt" That’s for only cover not...

frankthedm, your right, against shocking grasp someone would get +3 to hit. But you are wrong for lightning bolts. That sort of misc bonus only comes up under specific spell descriptions. Otherwise you are simply making up rules as you go along and that leads to a bad game.

As far as the shield taking damage if it stops the bolt, I figured it would. At the very least it should give a reflex bonus for granting cover.

There is a steel tower shield in one of the books, I think arms and equipment. Mine is mithral. As far as getting zapped for more because it is metal/lightning combination, This is not the real world, it is fiction. Just like lightning bolts do not conduct in water, and you don't get zapped more...

The point is that if you are using a sudden metamagic or a rod the spell level never goes up. So who does that mesh with spellstoring?

Swift Fly is a spell from complete arcane or complete adventurer. I figured the answer was no but I had doubts. On a more difficult point, under the artificer class (in Eberon) it specificaly talks about quickened wands under using their ability to use their metamagics by spending extra...

Under the spell storing description in the DMG it gives several examples of spells that work that are not "Targeted" like a magic missile or a charm person is targeted. It clearly allows touch spells. My DM and I as a DM have ruled that this also means ranged touch spells.

I am not sure where your second point came from, but I am very sure that you cannot build a wand of maximized scorching ray because it is a 5th level spell and I think the rules are very clear on that point. As to the main question about swift wands I have no idea.

While I disagree with you on the ray part, what about any given 2nd level damage dealing spell?
