I'm not sure where you are quoting from, but DMG p. 67 is pretty clear that blindsight ignores invisibility. Also, I see no indication that invisibility hides the physical effects of your attacks (such as bolts of energy from a wizard, or arrows from a ranger.) You can't be seen, but your...

The Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil gains a number of ward effects, which draw on veils based on the layers of a prismatic sphere. Each type of ward spells out very specifically what conditions the "creature crossing the veil" condition is triggered by. What is not in the slightest bit clear is...

But, on the other hand, I wouldn't trust anything mechanical from DWP farther than I could throw it. -- gnfnrf

Huh. I've always thought that it would stack in all cases. One effect gives you 3 hp. The other 2. You get 5. That simple. Other than the logical argument, is there a reason why it shouldn't? (Meaning, a specific rules application) -- gnfnrf

How about The targets are indistinguishable to spellcasting. Successfully targeting one thing and failing to target another is distinguishing between them. It's a bit weak, I know. -- gnfnrf

From the SRD: -- gnfnrf

There are two questions here. 1.) Does a ranged spell attack provoke for the ranged attack? 2.) If the spellcasting also provokes, does the action provoke twice? IMO, the answer to question 1 is clearly yes, at least for rays. From the SRD: ... and ranged attacks provoke. Question 2 is a...

I must say that in play, Evard's Black Tentacles was just used to wonderful effect against an 11th level party of PCs in a game I ran. Note that I interpreted it to grapple once but squeeze every round. Many creatures have a a good way of bypassing it, but once grappled, most of those ways...

I was designing encounters for a high level oneshot, and I came across the Zeitgeist, on p 138 of Cityscape. I'm looking at this creature, and I cannot figure it out. Is this thing really CR 23? It's got decent hp and fast healing, and is incorporeal by default, but it's AC means that it...

Third edition has descending iterative attacks specifically FOR the whiff factor. The design intent (no cite, but it was extensively talked about in the buildup to 3.0) is to give the fighter a chance to miss sometimes. (And therefore to mitigate usage of things like Power Attack) -- gnfnrf

Some feats grant extraordinary abilities, but the feats aren't the abilities themselves. So I don't think Enhance Wildshape gives you any access to feats. -- gnfnrf

Offtopic, but... http://www.duckproducts.com/ Duck tape brand duct tape. -- gnfnrf

"The kensai chooses one of his weapons to become a signature weapon." One weapon. Not two. If you wanted to, you could use the double weapon rules, but I would be wary, as two weapons have far more flexibility than one double weapon. -- gnfnrf

Huh? Why not, assuming you have a weapon in your other hand? -- gnfnrf

To be inanely precise: The polymorph subschool does apply to the spell polymorph, but none of the general effects (the rules that make it sane to run) that are true for all PHBII and later polymorph subschool spells retroactively apply to earlier ones. And remember, kids, if you polymorph into...

A number of strange quirks regarding the trample special ability came up in a recent game session I played in. For reference, here is the SRD text on Trample. Subject 1: Does the "Reflex Save or AoO" rule given in Trample replace any AoOs the trampling creature might provoke for movement as...

A friend I game with, who has very good command of the rules, claims that spells which involve a ranged touch attack to hit (such as rays and energy missile effects) can be cast with a melee touch attack instead. However, he was unable to provide a reference supporting this rule, and I can't...

Rather than going the TWF/Bloodclaw Master route, you could consider treating the Blades as one weapon (a spiked chain, possibly slashing if the DM will allow the substitution) and go into Bloodstorm Blade for targets beyond 10 ft. Many of the Bloodstorm Blade abilities have a very God of War...

Definitely broken, but broken-doesn't work, not broken-good. How does it work? Does your initiative change, as if a readied action went off? Either answer to this question produces horrible rules inconsistencies. -- gnfnrf

First, I assume you mean an ECL 15 drow paladin, who is actually 13th level, right? Otherwise, of course. For the first case, why not then say... An ECL 11 human (11 class levels) can survive a CL 20 Word of Chaos, why not an ECL 11 drow (9 class levels)? Or, An ECL 20 minotaur fighter...
