I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish, but here's basically how it should work: The "good guys" are aware of the "bad guys" on the other side of the door, but not vice versa. Therefore, the good guys will get a surprise round upon opening the door. Haz opens the door and all...

Makes perfect sense. Thanks! :) Well, there's a whole 'nother question about that, but I don't want to get into it right now. I'll save it for another time. ;)

How do you know they aren't priced as a continuous first-level spell? (Not so much challenging you as honestly wondering.) The pricing works out perfectly that way, and the effect is word-for-word the same as the spell in question. Also, where did you get your formula for the speed...

Your error lies in assuming that the "scroll rule" is a specific rule, rather than a partial (i.e., incomplete) restatement of the general rule. It is not that the general rule "overrides" the specific rule, but that THERE IS NO SPECIFIC RULE requiring the creator to be the one who prepares the...

That's not a "third" option; it's the second one he gave you. Your assumption that the scroll rule is a specific exception to the general rules is in error. The evidence points to it being a restatement of the general rule, in the context of an assumed single creator.

Yes. The spell description (primary source rule).

Yeah, I meant anything actually in the RAW. :)

Is there some other, obvious way to interpret how the ability functions that I'm just ignoring?

I don't think I'm understanding your response. The weapon must have been in the exorcist's possession for the last 24 hours. Holding someone else's weapon for a round would not satisfy that requirement, so how would they be able to activate the power on that person's weapon?

No. It discharges only if you touch something. Beware of overly literal interpretations that would result in all Touch spells immediately discharging into one's own clothing. :)

Am I mistaken, or does this ability (as written) allow an exorcist of the Silver Flame to switch her chosen weapon from, say, a longsword to a dagger and then back again, as long as both weapons have been in her possession for the last 24 hours? In other words, is there anything to prevent the...

Just because you can say it and everyone will understand what you mean, that doesn't make it a correct description of what's happening. For example: "I'm gonna put my boot in your ass." So, to answer your question (how would I describe...): "The orcs are within the fireball's area of effect."...

You need to read the rules more carefully, my friend. On page 141, it says (in the context of touching targets in the same round you cast the spell): "You can automatically touch one friend or use the spell on yourself, but to touch an opponent, you must succeed on an attack roll." This...

Produce flame is not a Touch spell; it has a range of 0 ft. Therefore, the "hold the charge" rules do not apply.

As Artoomis said. Also, Rules of the Game covered this is in "All About Mounts (Part Two)".

They are additional. See the text for the Extra Turning feat (PHB, p.94). Most (if not all) divine feats are "powered" by uses of the character's ability to turn undead. So no, you cannot use elemental turning attempts.

Yeah, that's a good one. I'm stealing it, too. :)

The rule is that you can make one touch attack in the same round that you cast a touch spell; you are not actually making the attack "as part of casting the spell" (as that would subject you to attacks of opportunity). PHB, pp.140-141. I can. Full Attack Action. The rules are simple: you get...

This is extremely lame in the case of DR X/- from two unrelated sources (say, a barbarian's class ability and adamantine armor), but it is the official rule.

I have yet to go over another player's character sheet and not find at least one error. Usually when I find multiple errors, at least one is what I would call "glaring." For this reason, when I DM, I keep a close eye on everyone's stats. (It's something of a pain, since PCs level up pretty...
