    [DM needs help] How the party figures out what spell is in a wand? (and other items)

    As far as wands are concerned listen to Hypersmurf he's dead on as you put it.. When trying to find out what Items do/are you could give them better hints.. as said earlier things may have inscriptions or runes. The way I run my game is that PCs find treasure while on adventure if they manage...

    (Su) abilities and Detect/Dispel Magic

    I'd say no you can't tell because it's supernatural it's part of the character/monster it''d be like saying superman had an aura of magic around him all the time. I'd also say no to the second question but that's just me.

    How would you build a rogue with these stats?

    Oh and BTW pick up weapon focus(dagger) ASAP you don't want to miss too many attacks especially seeing as how he doesn't qualify for ambidexterity..

    How would you build a rogue with these stats?

    Honestly with those stats he'd be better off making a figther cause his CON is gonna get him killed if he's a figthing rogue. I think those a really nice fighter stats and honestly if it is his first time it is a whole lot easier to play a fighter.. rogues can be complicated.. and you need to...

    Cohort's gear - as PC or NPC?

    This was the way my DM handled things I controlled the cohort and was fully responsible for him I had to pay for his gear out of my share of the loot.. the difference of course was that the cohort got free Xp in the sense that he got half of whatever I got--that way no one else in the party...

    Attacking Grappled creatures

    In a game I'm running I had a choker grappling one of the PC's using of course it's 10' reach so the group's paladin says: "I want to hack it's arm off" my question is: How should I deal with that?? What happened was that the choker had like 4hp left and when he attacked it it just died.. but...

    Concentration

    Does a spellcaster have to make a Concentration check if she's not threatened in combat? And then would it be DC 10+spell level. Unless of course someone readies an action blah blah blah ..

    Monkey grip + Power attack ??

    Reading the description of Power Attack again for the first time.. I see where it's ambiguous.. I'd say that yes you would get 2 for 1 damage vs penalty with the weapon if you're usisng it two handed of course, because for your character that's a one-handed weapon not a two-handed weapon.

    mithril vs. silver

    OK so it's not Silver but would a magic weapon say a +1 longsword bypass the DR and if so does this mean that natural enhancement bonuses due to special material have no effect on DR.. i.e. Mithral has a natural enhancment bonus of +1, adamantine +2. My understanding of DR was that a weapon of...

    Bluff as a free action.

    I always thought that bluff as a standard action was kind of silly basically you are wasting a round in combat.. As a ranged thrown weapon think of the feint as a guy pumps a baseball in his glove before his guns the guy out at first that'd be enough to throw a guy off and doesn't take that...

    Charm Person clairification...

    Well IMO charm isn't a combat or offensive spell and is really not intended to be used on BBEGs anyway I think it is to be used on people who are either indefferent to you or friendly to you in order to make them even friendlier so that you can either get away with more, turn better profit or...

    Blindness Question

    Hey there, I have a player in my campaign who designed his character so that he was born missing an eye. How should I play this? Should I give him a circumstance penalty to kis attack ratings?? (say -4) Should I let it ride, since he's been born with it he must have adapted by...

    Combat Casting

    Well the others have made great arguments and I'm with them if you want to make the feat more useful then have your spellcasters make concetration checks all the time they should anyways.. even if they aren't threatened directly, they do have to hurry up or are otherwise distracted with all that...

    Acronyms

    Hey there I know I probably shouldn't be writting this here cause it has nothing to do with the rules, but is there anywhere I can find a list of the acronyms everybody keeps using?? I mean I get the gist of most of them but some just keep me guessing for a long time.. Thanks.

    Forcibly Removing Armour

    You want the goblins to take his armour off and then what let him go so he can keep fighting or you want them to steal it??? Just knock him out, have your Gobos deal subdual damage and then take five minutes to take it all off. Or I guess you could always try to bash through it, though goblins...

    Take 20 on Open Lock?

    Well the way I work things is that skills don't have automatic successes.. They have they're limitations either you can do it or not. So yes I would allow my players to take a 20 on the lockpick but if the DC is 27 and with the 20 they only have say 25 well then it's not going to open is it?? Of...
