Just a drop of salve of slipperiness makes the best fabric conditioner. Wash portable holes and bags of holding separately, of course, but even then, nothing will stop your socks from disappearing to the astral plane.

I agree that you cannot take 20 on a Use Rope check. I am less certain about the logic of forbidding taking 20 on an Escape Artist check. But even if you cannot, you can try, try, try again, which may well end up taking less time than taking 20. Or more. However, I don't think anyone has yet...

A human sits near the middle of the room astride a reversed chair for reason of the greatsword slung across his back, with his head drooping almost to the table. Now, disturbed by the sudden loud talk, he straightens up to reveal shaggy black hair and a weathered but pale face dominated by a...

Besides what has already been said, PHB2 has the feat Driving Attack which allows the wielder of a piercing weapon to carry out a special sort of bull rush as a full round action. You have to be at least a 14th level Fighter 4 to take it. Einhander and the silly cloak feat, Combat Cloak Expert...

A spellwarped spell must be also be an area spell, so magic missile is not a valid choice. The Ocular Spell feat from Lords of Madness has less exacting requirements, though comes with an unfortunate metamagic adjustment.

If you're a bragging sorcerer, Or a dusty bookish mage, A thief or roguish chancer, A barbarian filled with rage, A fighter in full armor A ranger with two blades, A monk who… I can't remember… A paladin who fights crusades, A priestly servant of a god, A druid in a field, Or a psion (if you're...

T1 - A Visit to Spelding Square (Adventure Summary). Short version A star falls from the sky, and something crawls from the sea into a market square, where a small party of adventurers, assisted by a very old retired adventurer, do combat with it and eventually prevail, despite clouds of...

OOG: and we're done, unless anyone wants to chat with Gillin or amongst yourselves in thread. Thank you all very much for sticking with it to the end, through the rough patch in the middle when real life got in my way. It was only supposed to be a quick single combat encounter and, like them...

OOG: Experience points! Pendrake, being higher level, receives the lower amount in square brackets. For coping with a tidal wave in the dock district, 180 XP [150 XP]. For rescuing the guards who were swept into the sea, 120 XP [100 XP]. For defeating the CR 8 Unknown Thing(s), 1080 XP [900...

OOG: all of course subject to final Judge approval. Don't forget also the 100 gp from the city. The cheapskates.Midias finds that in his new boots, even with his usual heavy gear, he can keep up with the average unladen person. Without his pack weighing him down, he's positively speedy. In...

Pendrake finds his boots comfortable indeed, but notices no immediate special properties. Midias, though, fancies himself lighter on his feet and swifter. Ngikhnit finds that the blue boots fit him perfectly - and surely they are larger than they were when Jon first picked them up? The cloak...

A hint of alarm flares in the young man's eyes when he sees everyone without exception is injured. "Yes, that's me, Jon Kilran, yes," he says. He fairly snatches the parchment. The sight of his master's rune at its foot reassures him and he begins reading. "He's gone to stay with Thyrin," he...

The walk back across town to Rilithorne's is a bit less comfortable than it might have been, punctuated by grumbles from Gillin. "Youngsters today! Think old-timers are invisible... back in my day, we had respect for our elders!" Around the corner from the wizard's tower, Rollfar Lightpurse...

... for about three seconds. Then Gillin rips his arm free, spluttering with fury, and waving Mildred around sending shadows leaping in the night. "What's this? What's this? Now there's talk of rewards you decide it's a fine time to drop old Gillin off home! Why'd old Gillin want a reward...

With two lantern-lit trips into the north of the Square and the yard behind it, Pendrake and the guards recover the remaining two dead creatures. Pendrake finds they are improbably light for their size. Rilithorne has pulled parchment and inkpen and a small folding table from his backpack and...

OOG: I took that to mean you were babysitting or something, but I just came across your thread in TtT. That's really awful. I'm so sorry, Scott.

Rilithorne smiles ruefully at the mention of spell resistance. "I do not doubt it. Once you have experienced the failure or near failure of a spell, you never forget it. It reminds me of the dropping sensation in the stomach at the moment of an unexpected fall, though perhaps each wizard...

Rilithorne holds a finger beside his temple in an attitude of thought. "Something strange crawls into Spelding Square - which certainly is not as alluring a place as some would have us believe - on the very night that a star crosses the sky. It is not a comfortable thought that it came from...

"Ah," says Rilithorne in the face of the silence. "His mind is indeed addled, though I believe I can restore him. Ngikhnit, would you hold him upright? He may find his recovery disorienting." Rilithorne hustles the others aside. "I shall dispel the effect. Now." He casts. Spelding Square...
