An invisible devoted defender could also be some fun (especially when used to protect someone the PCs are after). I can just picture a nervous looking charge, hoping that her bodyguard is still nearby, making the occasional sigh of relief in between being jostled out of the way by an unseen...

The description of Harm's Way specifically states that use of the ability is declared before the attack roll on your charge is made. So either you use Harm's Way before the attack roll and it then becomes an attack on you or you don't and it remains an attack on your charge. Then the attack roll...

Widen spell increases the radius by 50% of the base radius with each application and not 100%. I made that mistake myself last week when looking at the 3.5 version of widen spell and seeing a 100% there without noticing that it now modifies total area and not radius. The effect on the rate of...

In response to an attempted attack on your charge you could do one of the following: 1) Use Harm's Way to switch places with your charge before the attack roll is made. According to the ability as written in S&F (and there is nothing in the errata or FAQ to state it should be otherwise) there...

I don't think it's strange. You don't use fists to twist arms or pin someone. You are using your hands and your whole body. As far as the rules are concerned I am quite sure this is correct. An amulet of mighty fists gives you an enhancement bonus to your attack and damage rolls with an unarmed...

Keep in mind that this is a 3.5 thread. The 3.5 change to square 30 ft space for colossal dragons doesn't actually help them with a widened antimagic field (I originally misread it as multiplying radius by 100% when it actually multiplies total area by 100%) so you're still correct in saying...

You can use weapon finesse and the bonus from the amulet of mighty fists on the initial melee touch attack to initiate the grapple. Grapple checks are specifically laid out as base attack bonus + strength modifier + special size modifier. Additionally, grapple checks are not attack rolls so...

While inside an antimagic area the effects of heroes' feast would be suppressed, including any temporary hit points granted by the spell that have not yet been lost. The effects of the heroes' feast return when the creature is no longer in the antimagic area, including any temporary hit points...

You said this great red wyrm was the toughest dragon in your world. You defeated it in its lair without a single casualty and scooped up its treasure. I expect that your party is now strongly considering great wyrm hunting as a career option? I think the intelligence and experience of the wyrm...

Edit: double post.

You might want to think about that statement a bit before you take over as DM for your group. You should be able to enjoy running the game but not if it comes at the expense of all of the other players not enjoying the game you're providing. If that's what it comes to, and that's what you're...

I'd recommend not fighting it. Or at the very least, not fighting it within its lair.The dragon likely has significant resources and you've said it has ample warning of your arrival. There are a lot of things it can do that won't be disrupted if you delay for 20 minutes before entering, or even...

Enough effects can get around a wall of force that I wouldn't compare it to an antimagic field. I think you may be speculating here. I don't think whether they are spells or spell-like or supernatural has any bearing on this. You're contradicting your comparison of wall of force and antimagic...

This was addressed in the 3.5 PHB errata. "see (but not hear)" should be "see and hear".

What gaze attacks have to do with true seeing and wall of force is that it is an example of an effect that can cross a wall of force and it happens to be a visual effect, perhaps supporting the ability of true seeing to penetrate a wall of force. After doing some FAQ and spell browsing, though...

The divine true seeing grants the ability to see auras in 3.0 but not in 3.5. Even in 3.0 I'm not sure that the divine true seeing detects magical auras or if it is limited to alignment auras. From the 3.0 SRD: All things considered I think Oni's argument is correct. True seeing does not...

True seeing sees through illusions so it would see through illusory wall and Nystul's undetectable aura. Also, although it's redundant given the first part of the answer, illusory wall produces a figment which does not qualify as a target for Nystul's undetectable aura, so it wouldn't have...

No, Simulacrum, they're just 5 ft bursts which you can center anywhere you like within the usual rules for targeting. Looking at the spells superficially firebrand doesn't look too bad. A 15th level caster casting firebrand gets 15 5 ft radius balls with a total area of approximately 1180 sq...

From the Magic of Faerun Errata:

From the FRCS FAQ: Going by this it seems that the Reactive Counterspell description is supposed to be referring to rounds going by the individual's place in initative order rather than absolute rounds.
