What should happen when a character with invisibility and invisibility to animals attacks a non-animal creature? Do they become visible but remain invisible to animals, or do they become visible to all creatures?

No one seems to agree that the coup de grace is unreasonable. Your suggestions all concern having guards or spells. The full scenario is as follows…. Two Fire Giants, four ogres and two dire wolves are camped in a snowy hollow about 120 feet from tree cover. The giants are sleeping round the...

Thanks for the replies. It has been said that coup de grace is for exceptional circumstances, yet in the listing of where it applies it specifically says sleeping creatures. This is about 6-8 hours a day, perhaps except for elves who can stay awake round the clock. This is why I think it is a...

Hi there Thanks for the replies, but the main point seems to be missed so far. Why can a 1st level character assasinate a sleeping 124 hit point creature using a spear with out the creature being able to save?

Is coup de grace a broken rule? I have a party that only attacks sleeping enimies. They wait for the big creatures to go to sleep before they attack and only attack the big creatures first. Before hand they have a spotter sent to observe the enemy who is an invisible halfling thief with very...

Thanks for the reply, but I think this action is not unreasonable. Japanese archers practice splitting bamboo poles and arrows hit with enough force to penetrate armour.

I am not too up on the 3e rules quite yet, but speed (haste) used to cause you to age. Who says this armour does not age the user. Let them have, but let them have the aging too. They'll be careful when using that ability of the armour.

Hi there This weekend I came accross the situation were the evil cleric was using his staff. The archer in the party moved round behind and fired at the staff to disarm the cleric. This was easier than hitting the cleric. The staff had AC 22 (10 + 4(Size) +3(Cleric's dex) + 5(In the cleric's...

Last session a party member tried to ride a trained flying beast. They have no ride skill but a dex bonus of +5. Using the rules given in the players combat session it states that you calculate the ride skill as rank + dex bonus + modifiers. However the modifier for not having the appropriate...

Last weekend I was faced with the problem of how to determine if the party's ambush was spotted by a group of orcs. In the party there is a hobbit whose hide skill exceeds everyone elses by a great amount. The party were hidden in the bushes by the hobbit, their arguement being that the orc's...

Hi there Last weekend I was forced to try and adjudicate on the silent image spell. The party were being persued by a group of creatures when they hid in a room. The creatues entered after the illusionist cast the silent image of a wall between the party and the persuers. Effectively making the...

Hi there If memory serves me right, there was a rule that flying creatures who sustained more than two thirds of their total hit points in damage were no longer able to fly but would drift back to earth. I have not managed to find this in the 3ed rules. Does anyone know where it is?

If a spell has the range personal, then surely it must also affect a creature and therefore can be made into a potion.

As I recall from 1st ed there was a 1 in 6 chance of getting lost without a ranger in the party. I guess you could apply that rule, but use wilderness lore to get them back on track. Having done a good bit of hiking through forest in my younger days there was always occasions when we would have...

How about a 'War Gong of Rage'? Usable by Bards only. Bang the gong and everone hearing it in a 120' radius becomes enraged as per the barbarian feat. Make opponents tougher, but easier to hit.

I know the situation you are in as I have been playing a half-drow bard. The sort of adventure she has been involved in has mainly been scouting in the underdark and spying on the evil races. When among the surfaces races she has had to make full use of her disguise and bluff skills to pretend...
