My interpretation of the entry: ...was that they get the spells/day and caster level of a 6th level cleric, wizard, or sorcerer, and since it specifically indicates "spells", that it meant that no other abilities of said class. Plus, the monster statblock does not mention the possible special...

Note that only their caster level is 7th, and for other class abilities such as feats and familiars, they're still only 1st level wizards.

The Trample creature power is different from the Trample feat. The creature moves over creatures at least one size smaller than itself, and automatically does a specified amount of bludgeoning damage to them unless they forego the AoO and dive out of the way on a Reflex save, in which case they...

I don't see anything wrong with a shield parry, it was actually one of the options in the old Complete Fighters, IIRC. I guess what it boils down to is whether you use the shield as a passive defense (and thus get the armor bonus), or as an active defense (which should then negate the armor...

From the SRD: HTH... :D

I'm not sure there is a "best" way when dealing with the square grid setup... I've seen alot of games convert to a hexmap system, since most of their battle mats were already hex-based from 2nd edition and other game systems. And for my game needs, a gridless system is the better fit, since we...

You want to talk unfair, try playing a thri-kreen in a party full of elves and dwarves. I think the elves cast haste just to slowly kill me, it was a conspiracy I tell ya... :mad: Then again, I did have this habit of drooling when I looked at them... :D

If exact placement is crucial, I usually have the character fire off a Spellcraft check to accurately judge his spell's AoE to avoid his allies while roasting his foes. If he fails by a few points, he misses anyone close to an ally, if he fails by a large amount, he could conceivably roast...

IMC, Vorpal weapons turn threatened criticals into a confirmed critical, threatened instant kill. If the next roll is a hit, that confirms the instant kill, then operates under my alternate instant-kill rules (uses CdG Fortitude save rules, much like Sean's vorpal). No max damage, however, but...

I'm glad none of my players has figured out this evil trick...I use the Variant Instant Kill rules IMC, although with some modifications to prevent ridiculous situations like a few 19's causing a dragon to drop from 390 hp to dead in one blow... Still, having a 50% chance of threatening, and a...

Well, you can always target by touch, even when blind... Also, one of my players used a crafty solution to the problem during one major battle awhile ago. They were fighting green slaadi with sorcerer levels and magical staffs, and each staff had a unique appearance about it. When one of the...

One of the precious few 3E characters I've been able to play has been a Necromancer specialist, with Divination as his opposed school... The way I figured it, if I needed a low-level divination, say, Identify, I'd pick up a level of Sorcerer. For anything more powerful, well, isn't that what...

Well, the way I see it, the reason that Blindfight doesn't work is that since you don't have a physical presence on the Material Plane while moving, there's no breathing or sounds of footfalls to detect in order to discern your location. However, with a visible presence to react to, I'd say...

Dear GAWDS man! We'll NEED a Cone of Disintegration to rid us of all the smilies you've summoned! :eek: :D

Yeah, what he said. :) Also, you can choose which AoO to take, but once you take one against the orc, you can't take any more until your next turn, no matter how many AoOs he provokes, or whether or not you have Combat Reflexes... [edit] Too slow in my old age...anyway, in that instance, you'd...

See Invisibility does allow you to see ethereal and astral creatures and objects as well as invisible ones. As far as the sneak attack goes, if he can see you and know your exact location, you don't get a sneak attack unless you flank him or catch him off-balance.

Errr, as far as I know, crossbows aren't exempt from AoOs triggered by attacking with a ranged weapon...

That's actually a logical fallacy, called denial of the antecedent: All x are y. It is not x. Therefore, it is not y. Filling in the blanks: All non-armor items are half weight. It's armor. Therefore, it's not half weight. Personally, I'd go with the armor being at least half weight, since...

Setting a spear is a Ready action, which is a standard action. You can do a MEA before you Ready your spear for a charge. Having a readied action allows you to take a partial action when the triggering event occurs, in the case of setting a spear, the trigger is when someone charges into your...

Yes, a Charm effect is a subcategory of Enchantment, and therefore elves are more resistant to harpy song. Technically, calling it a "mind-affecting" Charm is redundant, since all Enchantments are mind-affecting by definition. Guess they just wanted to make sure that everyone remembered that...
