Bump, just to get a few more thoughts on the subject. I'm having trouble seeing incorporeality as anything other than -THE- physical quality of a Shadow.

Using Shatter on an attended object would give the object a Will save with it's posessor's modifier, right? So shattering a cleric's holy symbol is more difficult than shattering a fighter's sword?

So? :D Why do you think I'm trying to figure this out? :p The same thing also works for a Shadow and one or two creatures in Libris Mortis. I'm thinking this will pretty much be a straight DM decision, based on the hazy wording of the spell. However, I don't think that being incorporeal...

Can an undead wizard use Alter Self to turn into an incorporeal form, such as an Allip? Incorporeal is under "special qualities," but is also a "physical quality" of the allip. An allip that isn't incorporeal would be by very nature something really different, don't you think? I wonder what...

Sad to hear that there are so few low-level spells for the straight caster in the Complete series. Even looking through CA, the best is the Orb series, which is still only situationally useful (considerable damage to just one creature). Ah well, looks like I'll stick to tried and true PHB spells.

So, I'm making a 3rd level wizard, and I have access to every single book published by Wizards. What do -you- think are the most important spells to make sure I know? I'm not specialized, so any school is open. I know the staples like Magic Missile, Charm Person, Identify, etc., but what about...

Now the question is, other than gloves of storing, how many ways can you store a scroll and still have it ready as a free action? A scroll of feather fall isn't too useful if you have to search through your pack trying to find it. :)

Aha, so scrolls of spells with swift or immediate casting times are useless, while those of full-round actions are actually kinda neat.

How long does it take to activate a scroll? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the DMG, so am I to assume that it's the casting time of the spell? Ie. Scroll of Summon Monster II is a full-round, Scroll of Fireball is a standard action, and Scroll of Feather Fall is an immediate action Thanks!

http://allofmp3.com/ Allofmp3. Quite good. Quite easy. Quite cheap. Quite Russian. Quite dubious as to how legal it is. It's based in Russia, which if I'm correct has no copyright laws for music. YOU select what format and bitrate you want the song to be in, and you pay $.01 per megabyte...

EN: Eltern Real: Jeff Alstott Still no icon. Ah well :p

Well I was going to go to ANU...in Canberra :D since it's supposed to be a -very- good school. Ranked 16th in the world or something, and study biology and political science. I was thinking of backpacking around Australia before or after the semester, since the Australian terms don't quite...

I was 955 at Level 4, but then I read the last line and bumped up to 1055, just barely Level 5 :D Subtracted a lot for nongeekiness, though. I suppose if I stopped keeping care of my body I could do much better!

Thanks Maransreth! I'm actually thinking of going to ANU, and I finally found a page where they lay out the basics for study abroad folk (Their website is a big, slow, barely navigable headache). They do 24 "units" per semester, and a class tends to be 6 units. They also break the two semesters...

If you look around a bit, you'll find that the 8 glasses/day figure has no basis in science. In fact, dieticians are at a loss as to where and when this health myth originated. It depends on -your- body. Me, I used to not drink that much, but over the past year I've gotten up to something like...

I hate character dependence on magic items to be "cool," for flavor reasons. As such, I'm really excited about this book, especially the token system for more tatical combat. However, I pretty much just run store-bought adventures, so I need to be able to pit IH characters against standard D&D...

Hello any and all Aussie readers! I'm thinking of studying abroad in Australia for a semester, but I'm having trouble deciphering your higher education lingo. In the United States, generally: There are two semesters, Fall and Spring. We take summers off. We take 15-17 credit hours each...

Yes...yes you do :D The site was up just a few hours ago. It will return in time, I'm sure.

For those that don't find the comic funny, you basically have to be very up to date on video game news in order to find -anything- funny on Penny Arcade. Also, most of it still doesn't make sense unless you read the essays on the front page. For those that don't know about the Grand Theft Auto...

Emm..... you know that Pravda is a joke site, right? Well, a sort of tabloid/Onion/pseudonews site.
