True.. though doing that has potential advantages for the party also.. like, vision is blocked both ways, and they can't be sure in that instance that I haven't teleported out of the sphere and used it for a decoy.. and Nail knows I'm sneaky enough to do that.. ;) Which is how we've been...

Good.. I have to admit I prefer it the way we've been doing it.. allows for more creative possibilities :) Yeah, I meant it in the context of when I don't have a sphere up in the first place.. Yep! I still have a little trick I mean to try.. if the opponents cooperate :)

I just reread both spells.. and you know, you're right. I think we've just been assuming that you can bypass it by teleporting (via the Astral) like some other force effects.. and after rereading it, I'm not so sure that's correct. It wouldn't apply inside the sphere, but outside of it, fog...

Oops.. just reread.. while it doesn't block Line of Sight, it does block Line of Effect.. which we've already run into actually (with me wanting to do something it turns out I couldn't do the way I wanted).. Note that certain monster attacks may penetrate the sphere.. it doesn't exist on the...

Exactly.. it doesn't prevent teleportation (or things from being teleported in, nor does it block line of sight).. I knew there were ways around it, it just seemed like such a nice combination of things that I just HAD to try it in play.. :)

Neither really.. just a desire on his part to make sure that the rules are adhered to the way they're written, which I certainly respect.

True.. and as it happened, he didn't even cast it last session.. Oh, I have that trick covered :)

Why thank you! *grins* (I'm playing the psion in question) Note that this game is largely a "hack and slash, weak story" type of campaign, where min-maxing and playing around with high-level stuff and outwitting the DM is all part of the fun.. so I'm trying things that I wouldn't normally do...

Also, since it IS your house, refuse to let him back in your house.. make it non-negotiable no matter who is DMing.. You also don't owe him anything beyond basic politeness in responding, if that. I'm polite except when provoked.. He's being rude, don't feel bad about being rude (and brief)...

I admit I got really lucky. I'm involved with a great group here in Cedar Rapids, IA that meets once/2 weeks for a good solid 12 hour session (w break for dinner).. it's good enough that one guy commutes from Chicago for it (5 hours away), and I really lucked out being invited to it.. it was...

Yeah, you can bet that I'll be making an embedded slotless +5 Use Magic Device item for my Warforged pretty darn quick, once I have Create Wondrous Item!

One theory I've read posits that there could be a brown dwarf circling the sun out there in the Oort cloud, which sends a bunch of comets inwards every 20 million years or so.. (apparently that happens on a regular basis?) Anyway, I'm sure there are surprises out there in our solar system...

Mine hasn't created much yet, but he's only a Warforged Fighter 1/Artificer 2. My plan is to make a lot of AC stuff and get that up into the stratosphere.. he's basically the party tank, though there are other (much more mobile) fighting types. Lots of possibilities! I will have to see how...

I'm in a new Eberron campaign, and the standard amount of Action Points mentioned in the ECS is given out. Our DM has ruled that they can be used to add to damage rolls as well, so we've seen it used quite a bit for that "extra punch" against the bad guy (or to try and turn a damage roll of 1...

1. left-handed (but I always use a mouse in my right-hand) 2. Canada (Toronto/North Vancouver/Ottawa) 3. fork=right (tines down), knife=left 4. fork=right (tines down), knife=left 5. right (tines down), but a spoon works better, so I generally will eat cheesecake with that 6. right. My right...

Yes, but a much smaller one. Not perfect I know, but much better than Walmart and they treat their employees far better (My wife worked there for quite a number of years up until she graduated college)

I'll say.. the BBS that I met my wife on is located here (and now, so am I).. :) I shop at the local Hyvee for groceries (good organic section too), but I avoid Walmart whenever possible.. I'm willing to spend a bit of extra money to avoid them and to support a smaller local business, as long...

Lots of good information has been posted above. You also might want to try the CRON approach (Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition).. lots of good info out there, but the key is why not gain some additional young years and avoid disease and all the rest of it along with your weight loss...

Wil Save It should be added that dropping the Wil Save column isn't something that was under Erik's control. Wil Wheaton loved working with Erik but no longer feels that he can provide the quality and consistency that he and the readers deserve. It's all in Wil's blog for those who want to...

Crystalstorm, from Dragon #317 Yes, I've made use of this already, in Nail's game.. :)
