So, if you go with the 3e version of Shield (as described by the FAQ), what would be a balanced duration? I can imagine several situations here a +7 cover bonus to AC is worth a spell, even if it's only for a few rounds at lower levels. But is 1 round/ level too harsh? How else would you do...

How about Otiluke's Resilient Sphere?

I'm in the process of finetuning certain spells for an upcomming campaign, and seem to remember some saying they felt Shield was too good as a 1st level, with it's current duration of 1 min/level. Do you think that a duration of 1 round/level is more appropriate? And if so, would it still be a...

I would say that a Magic Missile that wasn't stopped by a Shield spell, a Brooch of Shielding, Spell Immunity, SR or something else, is a succesful attack. There are no mention of an attack roll being necessary in the Mirror Image description, so I see no need to turn to the FAQ to let Magic...

That just seems way too cheesy for me, and as a DM this is an instance where I would let common sense rule. Besides, the wording in the desription of Mirror Image in PH p.229 says the following: 'Any succesful attack against a figment destroys it.' In this case that should propably overrule...

Thanks again for some great replies. Thanks for pointing me to that. I read it up until The Heart of Nightfang Spire, and it was a good read. I'll check that out! That's excactly what I've been planning and currently am working on. Do you have any specifics you would want to share? (Like a...

Thanks for all your replies so far. As both a player and as a DM I prefer lower level play (1st to 12th level) in a lower magic level world, so obviously I'll be modifying the magic level in these modules. Also, I believe 3e is too generous with the XP, so I'll modify that as well. This way...

I'm building a new campaign around The Adventure Path modules by WotC - The Sunless Citadel, The Forge of Fury, etc. I'm taking a cue from Andy Collins' Bloodlines Campaign, and placing the modules in a world of my own making, and I will also 'space them out' by intersecting other modules in...

Thanks Arksorn :)

Here's a couple of questions that came up during last nights game: Tumbling: When trying to avoid AoO's, you can tumble up to 20 feet 'as part of normal movement'. Does this mean that a character with speed 30 can move 5 feet, then tumble 20 feet, move 5 more feet and then make an attack, as a...

There's quite a bit of info on Cormyr here . Unfortunately there are also some pop-ups.

Here's an idea for those of you who don't like the randomness of straight rolling and who don't mind a system that plays up the difference in hit dice sizes. d4: 2+1d2 d6: 3+1d3 d8: 4+1d4 d10: 5+1d5 d12: 6+1d6 This is not what I use (I mentioned my system on p.1 of this thread), but reading...

I just asked Wotc the following: 'According to the SRD and PH p. 128, striking a weapon is a standard action. Does this mean that you cannot choose to take this action as an AoO or as one of your attacks in a full attack action?' Here's their answer (in less than half an hour!) 'Technically...

'Cos the archetypical cleric wears heavy armor and has more use for strenght and con boosters? Or an oversight? I don't know. Actually I think there should be less spell sharing, to differentiate arcane and divine magic. But I still feel a wizard should be able to mend a broken sword.

I see what you mean. I guess the real issue is whether an action that's classified as a Standard Action can be used as an AoO (or as one of your attacks when Full Attacking).

Here's the reply I got from WotC to the exact same question that I opened this thread with: 'An attack of opportunity is caused by a situation where one of the combatants puts themselves into a position of vulnerability. Since this is a free attack and there would be no penalty for doing...

So basically it doesn't say anywhere that you cannot strike a weapon as an AoO? That the Strike a Weapon action isn't on the 'Action Type Varies' table is no prove, IMHO. Any official errata on this?

Thanks, Make Whole was kinda what I was looking for, but I can't see why it should be a Cleric only spell. Time for a new house rule, I guess...

PH p.122: 'An AoO is a single melee attack' PH p.136: 'You can use a melee attack... to strike a weapon' Why are people saying that you can't sunder as an AoO?

I've been following the various Sunder threads (here and in house rules). Somewhere somebody mentioned that Mending (PH p.227) could make whole the item sundered (but obviously not restore any kind of magic). Now, the problem is that Mending only affects an object of up to one pound. Does...
