Nope. That "minimum level" rules only applies to items that "simply store spells and nothing else", like scrolls, potions, etc. Weapons do more than just store spells. The "caster level for the ability" is what determines the level for "the spells stored in the ability". The power of the...

SRD quotes applicable to caster level for spell storing (emphasis mine, in all cases)... I don't believe this would be applicable to spell-storing weapons, because of the "and nothing else". Sounds like we need to know the caster level of the magic item to determine the effects of the stored...

You blame WHAT?! 1. Not-Sean's not nearly as bad as he used to be. In recent months, he's cleaned up his act real nice. Heck, he even pulled me into a flame war once, mebbe a year ago. (Remember that "wand of permanence", Not-Sean? :D 2. THERE AIN'T NUTHIN' WRONG WITH TEXAS, you...

Robe of Blending, +15 hide, 10000 gp. Robe of Eyes, +15 spot, +15 search, 90000 gp. (Doesn't quite follow the pricing guidelines for skills enhancements, does it? You gotta use a bit of your own judgement when pricing stuff.) -AK

Nope, our group has decided that's "flavor text" instead of a requirement. -AK

How about forming some gray Ioun stones in the shape of small bucklers? And then enchanting them +(n)? :p -AK

How I see it... The shield spell doesn't have any range affects other than "personal". The invisible floating disc in front of the character isn't necessarily 2.5 feet away, and a grappled player still gets the bonus from a "normal" (non-magical) shield. If'n it was me, I would have ruled that...

Re: Re: Minimum time between prepping spells The drawback to this interpretation is spell-casters using a ring of... The potential for abuse is staggering. -AK

If a person using a large weapon gets attacked while surprised or flat-footed, they still get their shield bonus... even if it's from a buckler. I think it would be too restrictive to deny them the use of their weapon until the next round, just because they had a buckler on. I could see having...

For arcane casters, the rules require 8 hours of rest before preparing spells, and specify a limited number of spells that can be cast in a day. It's the definition of a "day" that seems to cause all the controversy. The way we play it... The Rest Requirement: After a spell is cast from a...

Hmm... wouldn't the reset requirements have been met at 22h31? If you have wait until 0h01, that's limiting it to one use in a 25.5 hr period. Just nit-picking. -AK

Suggestion: Armor spikes can get a polearm fighter some up-close 1d6 damage without having to draw another weapon. -AK

A good tactic for a fighter with access to True Strike. -AK

Off-Topic: Monk anti-rant. Couldn't agree more... monks can be a blast! We didn't stick so closely to the Oriental interpretation. In a sillier moment, I started describing his unarmed attacks along the lines of "Atomic Elbow Smash", "Running Drop-Kick", and "The Flying Pile-Driver". If...

I think this is the first time I've disagreed with you, Dr. N. (Very cool story hour, btw!) Encumbrance (sp?) isn't mentioned in the description, so I would expect "melded" eq to be effectively non-existant, until the character returns to a shape that can use the eq. If a character morphed...

Another take on the situation... Monk approaches locked door, aware that opponents lurk beyond. The monk initiates combat, choosing to attack the door. Initiative starts, but it doesn't have to be rolled at this point, since it won't matter before the door is open. Surprise round: Monk makes...

Maybe the bluff is threatening to paint his face like a french call-girl? :D -AK

A weapon's elemental damage comes into play when you make a successful attack with the weapon. The elemental damage is rolled separately and added to the normal damage. I don't believe that you can inflict elemental damage with a weapon unless you actually attack with it, and that such damage...

Dunno... I've encountered some players where a head-butt would have to be classified as a piercing weapon. Not too effective against skeletons, et al. :D However, if a player needed to choose a piercing weapon from an anatomical list (for weapon finesse, e.g.)... Nah, I'm not gonna finish...

Since it's unlikely that the giant grew the orc as a part of it's own anatomy (ugh... let's not dwell on that one), I wouldn't classify it as a natural weapon. However, I think non-profficiency penalties and improvised weapon penalties are the same thing... the SRC mentions that an improvised...
