    shapechange into dragons

    When you shapechange into, say, a red dragon, what determines the age category? Assuming you are familiar with red dragons in general and (for 3.5) your HD permits, 1. you can shapechange into a red dragon of any age category. 2. you can only shapechange into a red dragon of an age category...

    Druid/shape shifting question

    When I think about it, alter self can be misused as a kind of immortality-spell. I think it was you, hyp, who pointed out elsewhere that ray of enfeeblement also has a protective element ("The subject's Strength score cannot drop below 1"). The statement in alter self "your hit points remain the...

    Druid/shape shifting question

    The Spell specifically states that you can shapechange into a flea, right? Only guessing here, but what might the CON score of a flea be? 2? 4? What kind of wizard would survive this CON drop if his hit points would actually be adjusted? - p.

    Golems and MD?

    true, but note that MD is not subject to spell resistance, and a golem's spell immunity refers to that:

    Avoiding AOO after being tripped

    Agreed so far. I have to disagree here. Tumble is better than you think: Tumble apparently not only prevents AoOs for movement, but also all AoOs while moving. So any action that is performed "while doing normal movement" and provokes an AoO is protected by tumble. Admitted, I can only think...

    Do material components actually have to be touched?

    thanks AS, I seem to have overlooked that completely. I think that clears things up a bit! thanks all, paranoid.

    Arcane Archer imbue question

    Don't know if this is the right forum to post, but I have trouble with this sentence from the Arcane Archer description (emphasis mine): What exactly is an area spell? Is it a spell with an "Area: ..." entry in its statistic block? My first thought was yes, and I see no problem when you imbue...

    Do material components actually have to be touched?

    Can someone please point out a reference to me that material components, foci or divine foci have to be touched to cast a spell? I stumbled over that problem while pondering if it would be useful to grease a clerics' holy symbol to prevent him from spellcasting. But, looking through the books...

    number of attacks when wildshaped

    WotC CustServ Just got a statement from the WotC customer support on a similar question (actually inspired by the initial problem of this thread): -He would get 3 attacks... 2 claws at +11 and 1 bite at +6 (don't forget they become large and have -1 to hit because of that) -If he uses a...

    Calling all German residents, re: Essen Game Fair

    I will also be there, probably on Friday and Sunday. I can definately recommend it to anyone living in the area, because it is fun. OK, you cannot expect many new rpg releases there, but you can find everything that is already released, browse through it, haggle a bit... You can also find much...

    is Protection from Evil better than its counterparts?

    from the SRD: Protection from Evil: Protection from Good: the last quote also applies to protection from chaos and law. So is it correct that pfe wards against contact of summoned evil AND neutral creatures, while all 3 other spells cannot hold summoned neutral creatures at bay? Why is...

    How can I Guard my castle as a Wizard

    The best option IMHO still is not to be seen (Monty Python, anyone?). Make extended use of Permanent Image, Mirage Arcana, or even better: Screen. Who would be interested in a boring hill / meadow / piece of desert? The second line of defense definitely would be traps like symbols and the like...

    Roper questions

    from the SRD Roper Description (emphasis mine): I think it will know better than to attack a colossal red great wyrm. But nevertheless, according to the description, it could. But any creature this large should make their DC19 STR check with relative ease. No. 10 feet altogether. It is not...

    Hydra's Combat Reflexes

    ... what leads me to this brilliant idea: why not create a FAQ? a couple of questions really seem to qualify for the "frequently" part... sometimes they are asked again the same instant they go off the first page of the rules forum. so, let's see: we just need a volunteer, the search function...

    endless false lifes?

    Thanks for your opinions. Also thanks to Darklone for the link; Mr. Hypersmurf has an interesting interpretation explaining these kind of effects. But still, you all have not convinced me that this problem is covered by some sort of rules. :) Sorry, but sometimes I'm bullheaded like a dwarf...

    endless false lifes?

    Thanks Darklone, and sorry that I have to be insistent. Do you have any SRD/Sage reference for that or is that "just" board consensus? Don't understand me wrong: I am quite aware that "unlimited" false lifes are against the spirit of the rules and am also quite sure that there HAS to be a rule...
