    FEAR the Surprise Round!

    Unless the rider had some way of knowing that his mounted was frightened (like a spellcraft check to recognize the spell being cast), I would not, as a DM, allow him to get off until the horse had its action. Frankly, I wouldn't even let him know what had happened - I'd roll the save and...

    FEAR the Surprise Round!

    All cause fear does is make the creature 'frightened'. It cannot act (kick up or move) until its own round. -Fletch!

    D&D 1E How would you emulate a 1E/2E Cloak of Elvenkind?

    No, make the roll and add 10; its a totally different animal. In any case, even with an Elven Cloak, you can not hide in plain sight unless you a) become invisible, b) succeed in a Bluff, per the skill, or c) take a level fo shadowdancer. In any case, a hide check assumes some degree of cover...

    Barbarians in Medium Armor (WAS: Jennifer Lopez And Tom Cruise Nude!!!!!!!)

    Re: Re: Jennifer Lopez And Tom Cruise Nude!!!!!!! The FAQ would be correct, of course. It just seems lazy to me that they doubled the value for 15 to get the value for 30. The rounding is different. See, this is how I did it, but aren't you always supposed to round fractions down...

    Spring Attack and Tumble

    I wrote and rewrote this reply several times. In the end, I came up with this simple reply. The only partial action that combines movement with an attack is a partial charge. The rules on partial actions are complete and exclusive, unless you consider a Spring Attack to be a miscellaneous...

    Insight Bonus'

    It would seem comparable to a luck bonus in terms of rarity/stackability. What is the source for the Crystal Master PrC? -Fletch!

    Prismatic Sphere at 12th Level!??!?!?

    No, resources is defined as hit points, items, spells, etc. You don't usually run the risk of losing a party member until EL (or CR for a single creature) is party level +4. Theoretically, 25% resources is one character, but that assumes no other characters loose a single hit point, charge...

    QuickDraw

    Well, you know what? I never noticed the column wrap, and nobody that I've gamed with since 3E came out has either. You learn something new every day, and this is a pretty big one. Thanks. -Fletch!

    Spring Attack and Tumble

    Spring attack cannot be split across a noraml action and a haste partial action. It has to be wrapped up in the normal action. It is not explicit, but the wording of the feat implies it very strongly. -Fletch!

    Prismatic Sphere at 12th Level!??!?!?

    IMO, a CR 12 creature is a grunt in a campaign for level 12 PCs. A CR 12 is the door guard. A CR 16 or 17 will be the 'boss', if there is one. -Fletch!

    Arcane Archer busted?

    There is very little a +1 Brilliant Energy Composite Long Bow of Seeking can do... -Fletch!

    Identifying Magic Items

    The cost for a minimum-caster-level wizard to cast analyze dweomer for you (per the PHB if you use those values) is 810gp, though you can save 150gp a pop if you provide the focus. -Fletch!

    Prismatic Sphere at 12th Level!??!?!?

    It has the option of the divine spells from the Fire and Sun domains (the other elemental weirds have other domains), but also have access to all arcane spells. Any of the weirds can cast any 9th level arcane spell (they can only know 1, though). -Fletch!

    Bebilith Armor Destruction overpowered..

    I think it's in the DnD FAQ, but attacking armor is the same as attacking the character; there is no way to damage armor, except for stuff like the belbith's attack. -Fletch!

    What's up with Spider Climb?

    On thing to note, as soon as the weight of all the grabbled characters exceeds the wizards max load, he or she can only stagger around (5'/round) Any more than double max load, he/she cannot move at all. As for how much weight is necessary to pull the character off the ceiling, take the...

    Barbarians in Medium Armor (WAS: Jennifer Lopez And Tom Cruise Nude!!!!!!!)

    But there is only one line of text in the PHB: That means base speed, since races do not have encumbrance or armor. A Barb with an increased base speed of 40ft. (medium creature except dwarf), in medium armor or with medium load, would have a speed of 25ft. Small or dwarf would be 20ft. How...

    Barbarians in Medium Armor (WAS: Jennifer Lopez And Tom Cruise Nude!!!!!!!)

    A Barbarian loses his/her speed bump if in heavy armor OR if carrying a heavy load. Important to remember the latter. -Fletch!

    QuickDraw

    When you are flat-footed, you do not threaten the area around you; you cannot make AoOs while flat-footed. This is pretty clear. We've found quick-draw to be of limited value. Surprise rounds most often occur when you're in an already dangerous area/situation, when you should have your weapon...

    PrC Multiclassing Arcane Archer and IOoB broken?

    Two problems 1) not all spells of the same level are equal. 2) not all spells of the same level have hte same duration If you try to build a "system" with these two effects inherent, the system will be broken. You will have little fixes here, patches there, errata, another 'balance' fix...

    Well, you can slice and dice the 25% any way you'd like...pun intended. -Fletch!
