Although probably already thought of, but worth mentioning. If you go with a natural attack and hit only the touch AC, you do not deliver the spell (at least by my reading of things).

If using energy substitution makes a spell dexcriptor take on the type of energy converted to (fire to acid say): Would changing the element of a spell from fire to acid for a fireball to an "acidball" via energy substitution meet the requirement? Admittedly it isn't a spell in it's own...

I wonder how many people think of shadows for those illusions in bright light?

In another thread about the uses of illusions, it was said that you could place the image of a sack, bag etc over the head to blind the person, since technically there is no save because there is no interaction until the victim tries to remove the sack with their hands (which I thought of as...

No rules as such to back me up, but breathing out the acid breath should not hurt you. I would also say that if for some reason you were caught in the area of effect, then (maybe) you would not take damage (like breathing at your feet if surrounded). However any other source of acid (even from...

Lost Empires of Faerun has Lathander being a "reincarnated" Athalantor (probably spelt wrong), at least in theory. There is a PrC class based on this theory. Others that come to mind: The Red Knight was elevated by Tempus to cover strategy since Tempus is primarily interested in "just"...

I like the house rule which i'll probably use if it comes up. Damage is based on the size of a bow, if using an appropriate sized arrow. It's one of the "real life instances being trumped by ease of play." I personally don't want to note whether each arrow can be used by a composite longbow or...

given this reply, the implication is that anything other than total concealment doesn't really matter since it is not spelt out. For the OP. I'm sure in the PHB about CDG there is a statement about sneak attack being added (I remember the statement "It's probably overkill but...."). However...

IUD was created before all the other classes that gave sneak attack such as spelltheif etc. To me that makes it a DM's or a group's call to allow or not.

If you can get a large enough air elemental, train it to capture foes, fly upwards and drop. (some PC's of mine will find it funny watching the victims bounce). Water elementals should try and drown as often as possible. Mind you I've often thought about having a water elemental being able to...

By the rules you cannot use SA with non-leathal damage (as in the -4 penalty for a shortsword) unless the weapon deals non-leathal damage, such as a sap. It is somewhere in the SA description under rogue from memory refering to not using a weapon optimally. I'd allow a rogue to not SA, but...

The problem here is that Axe is not a weapon mentioned in the monster description, thus it is not proficient with it, even if axe is made for the golem. (As Diirk said) Mind you, Large iron golem = large short sword.

For the Boots, I'd rule as if there was no snow, so only the angle of the slope was taken into account. I don't know the spell. Mind you, a RBDM could note that the boots do not stop the walkers from starting an avalanche. :]

Mechanically, as long as you satisphy everything like hitting the AC, it does not make a difference I guess. My preference (unfortunately borne because of someone that seemed to always miss the companion but hit or crit the enemy) is: 1) Roll attack to determine the AC hit (and damage at the...

That'll be the one. not that it's an obvious name or anything! :heh:

Know: astronomy can be changed to any navigation type skill (or be replaced by geography). Survival (5 ranks for north) is another option. But it could boil down to what a DM considers to be included in Prof: Sailor Note that one person does not need all three, just that they need to be...

There is mention somewhere (I can't source it mind, I have the feeling it is a FAQ/Rules of the Game/Enworld "Consensus"*) about no longer being able to meet the PrC pre-reqs and losing the PrC abilities. This is how I would run it, the PC needing to be capable of using Rapid Shot to be able to...

Not aware of RAW but: The same penalty as wrong sized weapon? -2 to the AC provided, down to 0 not counting magic bonus? Or (after adjusting the straps) a large light shield = a medium heavy shield, and a large heavy shield = medium tower shield. I would not allow largeer than appropriate...

I would have thought that if the fire could not be put out normally then it would say so. Which makes it #2 I notice that Acid Arrow (SRD) has the phrase: unless somehow neutralised, which seems a "more magical" effect to me.

What was the name of the big steamroller type thing that rolled over everything? It made a reappearance in MM3 I think. That is something that i'd like to get.
