Next time the player should just have the fighter keel over and play dead (after a 5 ft. step perhaps?). The golem, being mindless, would not attack non-aggressive non-moving targets, especially as there are other's creatures attacking it. No need to risk the AoO if you really don't want to...

I always read it that once you set the wall on fire with magical fire, you have to wait for 10 nminutes until the wall is competely burned down. One fireball, and then a long wait....

It did not know it was a common problem, never did much mounted combat.... But, if it is the mount that charges, you should have your full complement of actions available. So you theoretically you can ready an attack with your lance when your target comes within reach, attack when your readied...

I am a little bit confused about using lances on horseback during a charge: From this it becomes clear that it is the mount that charges, not its rider. But then: This means that a normal warhorse (with a reach of 5 ft.) will end up in base-to-base contact with an opponent and can then make...

Infiniti, what do you want me to say? That 'act' isn't a defined game turn, so therefore you cannot assert that you can't cast spells is wrong? That the piece of text you quote is actually an example and not rules text? To me it seems you are going into one logical fallacy after another, but...

Every PC still tries to kill enemy spellcasters (especially wizards) before they attack equal CR melee types or rogues. They know that ignoring an enemy wizard for just a few rounds can turn the tide of the battle, while ignoring a melee type can usually be done without ill effect. In my own...

Don't get me started on that.... :o I have heard all conjugations of it in all kinds of languages in high school, dutch, english, german, greek, latin, and they were not meant as a compliment. That's what you get when your very first History lesson involves looking up the meaning of every...

I fail to see why. Some objects are animate, others aren't, some have mental ability scores, other's don't, some work like creatures (constructs), other's don't. My reading is the best interpretation I can come up with that makes sense, is playable and does justice to the spell's power. It is...

Which seems rather sensible, since otherwise you get people attacking with reach weapons in spaces they cannot reach normally, shooting crossbows as AoO, etc. etc.

If you believe that, I think casting spells will become almost impossible for you! :lol: Read the spells and see how many of them use the flavor text and other words (which are obvious to most people) to refer to the same entity, be it a simulacrum or illusory duplicate, sepia snake or sigil...

The caster does not become an animated object, it gets the properties of a being made of solid stone. 1. Hardness - as you said, obvious 2. Hit points - it is explicitily stated that the caster retains his own hit points 3. Death - Yes 4. Energy attacks - Yes 5. Ranged weapons - Yes 6...

Agreed, I houserule it that they have Tremorsense too. Earth elementals being blind in their native element is just too weird.

It says you turn into a statue. A statue cannot move. If the spell did turn you into a animate creature like a stone golem, it would say so. A statue is just a statue.

Not able to move != helpless. Entangled creatures cannot move, and they are not helpless. As a statue you are immune to critical hits, and thus immune to CDG, which is the the most dangerous consequence of being helpless. As someone with a transmuter wizard who regular uses the Statue spell, I...

Green slime, hidden in a potion bottle with a potion of healing floating on top of it. No way you can scrape or burn that away after swallowing it....

No, just unfair: http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=1899225&postcount=244 It can be unbalanced, but only if abused by players and DM's, but that's hardly unique to Cleave and AoO's, and not the main reason for me to disallow Cleaving of AoO's. I think the mechanic goes against the spirit of...

Sure, bored players can do crazy things with their characters....

Cleave on AoO feels unfair to me, and hurts my suspension of disbelief. To me it feels the same as allowing the following feat: OPPORTUNISTIC FEINT You are trained in using the expectations of your enemies against them in combat, thereby creating an unexpected opening in their defenses...

If an encounter is random, I expect the PCs to react in a random fashion. If an encounter has meaning to the PCs, I expect them to react in a meaningful fashion. I would have no idea what the party would do if they encountered the Orc'n'Pie situation you mentioned, since it is essentially...

Your PCs don't need the Leadership feat to get Cohorts and/or followers, you just need to get special DM dispensation or permission. Of course, all Monsters automatically get this from the DM. The Leadership feat is not there to regulate how Cohorts and followers work between DM and Player, but...
