As long as there are morons like you around - yes. -Frank

No, the only part that gets ignored is the limitations on what creatures and objects can be affected and what creatures and objects can be the result. After all, if it was like polymorph in its choice of targets - it couldn't be used offensively, as Polymorph cannot target unwilling targets...

You've spent most of the thread articulating a rules position that is directly in conflict with the rules as written and the obvious intentions of the rules. So when you say something which is obviously at odds with the rules in this discussion peoples' natural assumption is not that you are...

The Everburning Torch costs less than 110 gp because the price is brought down by the fact that sometimes wizards cast lesser planar binding and conjure Lantern Archons, and get them to work for a few hours making one Ever Burning Torch per round. This works out to 600 'Torches per hour - at the...

OK, let's have a 9th level Diviner (or some other specialist wizard, for whatever reason), with an intelligence of 22 (including his 2 stat raises and his headband of +4 intellect - so we are starting at a 16 Int): At 10th level he picks up : 1 5th level spell 1 4th level spell At 11th level...

Well... I'll start by saying that combat druids are over-powered - but not because of Animal Growth. With the squeazing rules in effect - Huge Size seems to be a disadvantage as often as not, even outside. Druids can do some horrible things with tripping/grappling/rending - and the current...

You still threaten after you've used all of your attacks of opportunity for the round - so I think you still threaten while on total defense. Allow me to say that forbidding people from taking attacks of opportunity while in full defense is a dumb idea. It makes people less defensive against...

Unfortunately - Karma Beads stack. So that evil Priest can still kill the entire party with no save without resorting to anything as gauche as a bunch of orange crystals hovering over his head. Blasphemy should be a direct comparison of hit dice, not a comparison of hit dice against caster...

They're handing out negative stat modifiers for Wizards now? Wizards are generally specialists - which means that since they get 3 or 4 spells in two levels of wizard before bonus spells - that they get 4 or 5 spells - and if they have a statistic bonus it rises to 5 or 6. If you thought that...

The Souljourner is correct here. Form changing and Size Increasing are not the same - and can "stack" all they want. Wildshape does go away in an antimagic field - in 3rd edition it could be dispelled, in 3.5 it can't be. But it's still magical. -Frank

So you could perform a ranged touch attack to do ~38 points of damage to one enemy with a standard action at 20th level? Assuming anything approaching munchkin levels of Fighters - that's simply not going to matter. How much does a Cleric Archer do with a full attack at that level? I mean...

I don't think we've fought - for whatever that's worth. Yes. Yes I am. -Frank

The big fun is using Alter Self to transform yourself back into yourself after using a more powerful transformation to turn into something big and nasty. Alter Self doesn't change your stats - so you can still have Titan Strength after using PAO or Shapechange. The things which Alter Self does...

Well, they are pretty crappy wings - and you are "immune" to Enlarge Person - and polymorph will give you wings anyway. So the only way I see growing to Large or bigger without giving up your form is Righteous Might or Giant Size. If you want to give up a 5th+ level spell to get wings for a few...

Subject to any additional restrictions on the spell, that is exactly what it means. Polymorph has a number of additional restrictions - PAO does not. That's why it is an 8th level spell. Although, I think it is somewhat overpowered even then. -Frank

That's great, but PAO actually does not use the word "gains" it uses the word "grants" - which has a slightly different meaning. -Frank

Depending upon which quote you believe in the PHB - you may be able to take your unarmed strikes (using your normal iterative attacks) and inflict the same damage and gain the same special advantages as one of your natural weapons. In fact, by a reading of one part of the rules you have to...

Paladin has always been on the list - just that it sucks at level 6 instead of sucking at level 3. That's a big difference in many games - although of course in the long run it's not. Two reasons: 1> It is always easier on a gaming group to add power than it is to take it away. That is, if...

Because the same reasoning would allow people to protect themselves from Cause Blindness by closing their eyes. -Frank

Do you actually read what I say or do you just make insulting comments and hope they happen to catch on something? I thought it was pretty clear what my position on it was. Poor wording in the rules, and that things should work the way they were written. Still, this is a rules forum, and thus...
