Teleri_mm - I think we are discussing "Refocus" as opposed to "Delay". I believe they are two different concepts. Souljourner - Thanks for the response. Just keep in mind that, with Refocus you lose a partial+quickened before the enemy reacts: WITHOUT USING HASTED REFOCUS: (round starts) -...

Drawmack - Thanks for the reply. Ex #1 - I agree - you need to pick a direction but not the specific target. Ex #3 - Agree Ex #2 - I agree it violates *your* "general test - rule #2". However, it seems to me that, due to no other information to the contrary, this will need to be ruled per...

Here is where my problem is: In the original post: Ex #1 = fine with me Ex #3 = no way - you need a single "target" Ex#2 = this is where I need some help. ..Finally, I wanted to confirm my assumptions above regarding ready (as you click into the new round) and ready w/haste. Thanks! ~D

Stalker0 - To follow up, review p.80 and p.81 in Tome and Blood; Casting Times.. It seems to me that, similarly, full round spells (that do not allow movement and require full concentration) are hasted/speeded as well (even one full minute spells in fact). So, I would consider this another...

Shayuri, thanks for the response - I feel reasonably comfortable adjucating a Delay, however, it does not seem very clear what your options are regarding a Ready. In the PHB, some examples are given regarding some examples of trigger events, but the SRD leaves this open. The DMG p.63 has a...

City of the Spider Queen has a description and cost (75gp) on p.128 but no DC... Looked in MoF, S&S, T&B, and FRCS - based on the DC, effect, and cost I would set at DC25 if you dont find it elsewhere. ~D

Just how granular in specificity must a ready action be? Examples: (VS=very specific; MS=moderately specific; G=generalization) 1. (VS) If an enemy approaches within 40' and I have an unobstructed straight line to the square they enter, I charge and attack with my axe. Additionaly, I...

Here is a simple one: Lets say you lost initiative but are hasted (before the round started). Can you take your partial action first then use your standard+move to refocus for next round thus gaining a net benefit of an extra partial before your opponent may react? Thanks ~D

SRD - SPELLS: In a recent game, the ruling ended with a number of characters in the party wearing slag where once had been magic rings, amulets, necklaces, etc. Successful saves made by characters did not make a difference. The items got their own saves (+2 REF for being magic vs DC19...

I would vote for: Close Quarters Combat Combat Reflexes 1. Can be used while raging; 2. Tentacles, nuff said. 3. Dire grabbing beasties (claw/claw) Those two are life savers. The sunder chain is really good if you have a +3 weapon. At your level, you will find both situations (lots of...

Yeah - That wizard is tough, but there is nothing you can do vs good prep. I don't know who this Hedrack guy is, but if he is a high level cleric, he can probably do well given a use of the ol' spell resistance. The problem as I see it, is that you don't want to construct encounters...

I like the concept of using the partial before the start of a full round action. That works for me. Otherwise the full round action is unaffected. However - Does this mean you cannot move after a full attack action? ;^) ~D

Interesting question - At least more interesting than I first thought - What is a "regular" action? Can a fighter make a full attack (a "full round action") and then land an extra ("partial action") blow? Yes. Can a fighter take a move ("move equiv. action") and an attack ("standard...

Ahhh - One takes a moment to remember the Chaos spell from 1E... ~D

As I say in my previous post, I believe the rules support a maximum of six spells scribed in one day on one (long) scroll. The key is to understand the definition of a "scroll" which I would take from the DMG as opposed to the SRD. BTW: I could not find any treasure table which had more than...

Just a quickie to confirm my assumption: Does an Ioun stone which enhances your STR score by +2 overlap or stack with the spell, Bulls Strength? Thanks! ~D

Seems to me a "scroll" is defined: DMGp.199: If this is the definition of a scroll, then: PHBp.84: Seems kinda clear. That said, scribing a spell in a spellbook: PHB.p155: What does this mean? Spellbooks are expensive and take lots of time: 12th lvl caster - 6th level spell: Scroll...

Seems to me the question is not so much about vertical reach as ruling around whether creatures on the ground are ruled to "fill their square/cube" as it were. In your example, I would rule that unless the demon did not prepare a readied action, you would get by with an AOO (this might be a...

AuraSeer, I assume you dont mean hit points here just bonuses to hit and such. Correct? Do split puddings have reach? ~D

Question says it all. Lets say you are not totally immune to acid (but maybe have a protection from elements). Assume a party of four level 7 good guys (fighter, wizard, cleric, rogue combo). Any cheap magic help out? Spells? Also assume you cant run from it (forever). Ideas: Are a monk's...
