At 30-32K this item is far more specific than the Headband of Intellect yet double the price. Why? 16K is my vote, if slotless. 8-10k if slotted.

I like tough vamps so let it assume gaseous. As for the rules interpretation--no idea.

No more than double. It's barely more useful than once a week. Think about it from a player's point of view--would you spend 27kg (kilogold) on this ability?

Thanks for everyone's opinions.

If we use Blade Barrier or Entangle as reference points then any one re-entering the area of effect would have to make new saves.

Two votes for "Burst" then. I think that was their intent as well, though doesn't a strict interpretation favor an emanation-like reading of the spell. If any other spell had an area and a duration wouldn't we rule it to affect anyone coming into the area any time during the duration?

Bane's area is listed in the srd as "All enemies within 50 ft." as opposed to Bless's area of, "The caster and all allies within a 50-ft. burst, centered on the caster". So is it a burst or an emanation or neither? Or more to the point, does Bane affect enemies who enter the 50ft range after...

Seems like an easy fix is to allow a Save to any (possibly) affected creature, even if they are not the target. No more 100% certainty when casting it on the fast-moving monk, or on the poor-willed mook next to the BBEG, or on the non-saving rock next to him.

The "new" teleport rule doesn't work at all. We are supposed to figure out falling momentum because the spell doesn't say to ignore physics?! Is this a joke? The spell completely breaks the laws of physics with regard to motion and time! That is the POINT of the spell. But we should pay...

I personally find Hyp's questions to rarely be off-topic, nor do they induce me to leave the thread. They tend, in fact, to deepen my understanding of the topic. Further, I would suggest that if one evaluated Hyp's knowledge level objectively then one would see it is very often greater than...

I2K, Caliban, KD, I'm not a mod, but I'm going to be presumptious and pretend to be a mod for a minute: A good rule of thumb, IMHO, is that if one it tempted to talk about another POSTER or their "intent" instead of the TOPIC then one should just not post at all. If the other guy isn't...

The latest version of the FAQs seems to disagree, FWIW:

A recent update to the FAQs addressees this situation (regarding Feats at least): Of course many don't like the FAQs for various reasons...

Agreed. So far we have nerfed Leadership, but that's about it. I find most Feats to be weak considering how few (my group) gets over the course of a character's career.

I personally agree that there are many many spells (and feats) which are simply not worth it--at their current level. I would love to have a rating system in place which would allow ENers to rate the Feats and Spells. The spells which came out "underpowered" would then be great canditates for...

Thanks for the idea Jack. Unfortunately we don't use psionics in our game. Also, it would be nice to be able to talk to new people, and not just my closest allies (equipped with shields made by me).

I would love to, but I don't think that spell would work: A mute couldn't whisper, only mouth the words, which I don't think would be enough.

I'm thinking of playing a mute character and want to create an item to communicate telepathically with one other creature at a time. How much? Telepathic Bond is the relevant spell. It's 5th level. Straight formula says: 5 (spell) x 9 (caster) x 2000 (continuous) x 1.5 (10/min level...

I too think the rules as writter are clear. An AoO allows a Cleave into another combatant. But, I think this makes for an internal contradiction. And I quoteth the SRD on the explanation for Attacks of Opportunity: Where was the lapse in defense in combatant B (the Cleave attackee) which...

I agree. There would be no offsetting penalty if characters are made whole at higher levels. We don't do this (generally) so I don't have to deal with it. But to my mind the inability to pick feats not yet qualified for and/or delay feat choice would be the cost of creating a high level...
