    Encounter Distance

    I believe it was in the 3.0 DMG, but I can't find it in the 3.5 DMG, nor the 3.5 SRD. pvandyck

    Encounter Distance

    I was surprised no-one had responded to you yet. In my campaign I was just trying to work through that information, too. In 3.0, there were some rules in the DMG (sorry cant' remember where, maybe the "Encounters" section or something) there were rules for trying to spot someone waiting in...

    Incorporeal Creatures- How to Attack?

    Also remember, that if they do chose to ready, the attacker can't see them, and thus looses it's dex bonus on that readied attack. pvandyck

    DMGenie Users - init issues?

    I have questioned/complained about DMGenie's initiative control in DMGenie's Bug forum. I'd like to know if my concerns are very in the minority (as they seem). http://www.dmgenie.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=BugReport;action=display;num=1077742874 The main problems start when lots...

    Darkness better than Deeper Darkness?

    But in the second case, the area isn't pick black. The Deeper Darkness will temporarily overlap/negate with ONE of the Daylight spells. The other Daylight spell is still in operation. Deeper Darkness is the same 20% concealment as Darkness Deeper Darkness Evocation [Darkness] Level: Clr 3...

    Darkness better than Deeper Darkness?

    I guess I'm just not clear on what you are trying to say. You are saying that Daylight counters or dispels any darkness spell of equal or lower level, such as Darkness. I'm saying that if you heighten a 2nd level Darkness spell (3.5 rules, here) to 9th level. It is no longer "equal or lower"...

    Darkness better than Deeper Darkness?

    An already-in-operation Daylight does not automatically dispel or counter Deeper Darkness, if that's what you are getting at. Did you miss this line: "Daylight brought into an area of deeper darkness (or vice versa) is temporarily negated, so that the otherwise prevailing light conditions...

    Darkness better than Deeper Darkness?

    A guy casts a 9th-level heightened Darkness spell on his belt buckle and walks into an area covered by the light from 2 Daylight spells (cast, as normal, at 3rd level), cast on poles standing right next to each other. What happens? By the rules, the "dimness" (20% concealment) caused by the...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5srd.com is down - did anyone download?

    http://3.5srd.com is awesome. I use it all the time. Unfortunately, that means that it's down now, because it ran out of bandwidth due to all of use pounding on it. Did anyone download the Sovelior html version? I knew that's what I should have done, instead of pounding on their site...

    System Reference Documents

    yeah, I just found that it was down. Did anyone download the Sovelior html version? (I knew I should have downloaded it instead of continuing to pound on 3.5srd.com) Anyone? pvandyck

    TWF penalties and AOOs

    I apologize if this had been discussed to death, but you can't search for terms like AOO TWF, etc. and that's the only way to find this stuff. I just tried for an hours to search here at on Google groups and wizards with other terms, but it just doesn't work. Basically, do the TWF penalities...

    Trying to get a good grip on Hover

    It seems it simply allows a creature to stop moving in the air, without falling. I don't think it takes move action to go from a move to a hover. In aerial combat, I would think this is important, because unlike on the ground, unless you have the hover feat, you have to maintain your minimum...

    Are shuriken useful?

    Where are we getting the information that you can draw shuriken as a free action without Quickdraw? The SRD states that shuriken are ammunition, and When using a bow, a character can draw ammunition as a free action; crossbows and slings require an action for reloading. It doesn't say anything...

    Diplomacy on PC's

    I understand that there are some players who would rather leave my group than have me (as DM) tell them that their players have been influenced to a particular decision by the charisma of an NPC or another player. However, if the player refuses to roleplay the negative or detrimental parts of...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Supernatural effects can't be dispelled in 3.5?

    In 3.0 is was errated in the DMG that the non-instantaneous effects from supernatural abilities could be dispelled. (Seemed to make sense to me, because it seemed too powerful that a paralyze or wall of ice from a monster was simply un-dispellable). However, due to the fact that this errata...

    Ray-based spells - hit targets beyond?

    Does a ray-based spell that misses it's target continue on and have a chance of hitting a different target beyond the one you were aiming at? In a recent combat, the DM ruled that the Searing Light that we where casting (ranged touch attack) at a monk-like undead monster (high touch AC) would...

    Magic circle agaist evil - attacking from inside the ward

    No sure I agree with you, there. The Protection from Evil spell creates a barrier at 1 foot from the touched person. The Magic circle against evil spell creates the same barrier at 10 feet from the touched person. summoned creates cannot cross this barrier, hence the "no contact" Also, Magic...

    Magic circle agaist evil - attacking from inside the ward

    I'm standing next to the cleric with Magic Circle against evil on him. Next to me, outside the ward from the circle, is an elemental with no SR, so it can't get through the circle. If I attack the elemental: A: The elemental can't attack me b: The elemental can attack me back (because the...

    Entering square occupied by invisible creature

    I can see you concern with the moving person noticing the invisble occupant as he moves through. It seems logical to me that the "avoiding" that the invisible person is doing involves movement, which should give the moving person some kind of listen check. With them being right on top of each...
