I think you might be referring to the Camillia of the Black Lady, from the FR book Champions of Ruin. It's a wondrous item on pages 42-43. It also appears in the CoR web enhancement module Vanrakdoom. We ran through that module about a year ago, which is why I remember the flower. ;)

Plenty of dragons in those classic modules, and most of them are bosses early on. One you start finding dragonlances, the frequency of dragons will increase. With all the draconians you'll be fighting, favored enemy (dragon) is a very wise choice, and it goes well with the flavor of the...

I read the Dragonlance books in high school. I also DMed the Classics modules up through Icewall and Silvanesti. Though I haven't read the newer books, I do remember Flint. I have Flint Fireforge's 2E stat block in card format. It's taken from the Tales of the Lance box. He's as standard as...

Since you're using miracle, you might be able to go beyond the confines of contingency with DM permission. You could attach a higher level spell to your contingency, perhaps. Your "contingency" might allow attached spells to be cast at range, like wall of stone, dominate person, or slay...

Wall of stone and dominate person/monster are out. Remember, spells brought into effect by the contingency can only affect the caster's person.

The 2E box Tales of the Lance should have all you need for 2E play. The softback book found inside the box provides detailed information on kender abilities, skills, their function in society, their unique weapons and equipment, etc.

Berserk is absolutely awesome. If you haven't seen them (the anime... I'm not familiar with the manga), you must. If your PC is level 10, I would argue that the level 10 Guts (Gatsu) hasn't lost his arm yet, and therefore wouldn't be eligible for the repeating crossbow/cannon combo, though...

I wasn't implying that. It's clear that at least one person who responded to me responded in ignorance in an attempt to provoke me, which I thought would have been something worthy of a warning. I apologize again for stepping on any toes. We can agree to disagree, but I'm not about to...

I just thought it was the rule to read posts before responding, and that replyng to a post in ignorance would be considered rude. Sorry for any missteps in protocol. I didn't know about the "house rules" rule which is, obviously, considered rude. :blush: Boy, sorry about the frustration...

Your previous post proves otherwise, but thanks for the flames. And with that subtle show of disrespect flung at me, I depart. What a shame that after asking for, what, 6 or 7 times for evidence that counters my evidence-based interpretation, all I'm getting now is "You're wrong, Crust!" :(...

You can't be serious. Since it's clear you haven't even bothered to read my posts, let me bring you up to speed on how my interpretation is NOT based solely on my opinion. My interpretation is based on the information found in the following texts: -PHBs from 2003 dating back to 1989 (the...

:confused: 1. The ring of counterspells can't hold a disjunction or a horrid wilting, making your argument invalid. And even if the ring could hold a disjunction... (see point #2) 2. The ring of counterspells is not a spell, it's a magical item that duplicates an action not a spell, so using...

Because contingency and counterspelling work under a different set of rules, as anyone would see after doing a bit of reading. Counterspelling relies on the wizard taking a readied action. Contingency does not grant an automatic readied action. Others have suggested that it does, but the fact...

Elminster's evasion allows six different triggers to protect the wizard. Only one of those six triggers would involve the disjunction--> contingency/antimagic field. The other five could protect him from any number of similar effects, interrupting castings, interrupting the outside world...

OK, so the example I gave on the last page was lousy. Here's another one that links back to the OP and the original issue: Certainly, the contingency/antimagic field combination would seem very desirable to any wizard. Elminster (and Manshoon, and Khelben, and The Simbul, and every wizard in...

Thanks for your help, folks, and thanks for a stirring discussion. I know how I'm going to run things. I will not be assuming immediate actions or readied actions any more than I’d assume immediate or readied actions when not specifically mentioned. If the data or examples don't exist to...

Previous editions are valid concerning the constant and never-changing expectations on contingency triggers. I established that several posts ago. And even so, I’ve provided 3E examples from the PHB and Complete Arcane, so what does it matter that I’ve drawn upon older editions? I didn’t have...

Widow, there is a time the wizard can intercede, interrupting a rival wizard's casting, but the contingency all by itself cannot intercede unless the wizard uses an immediate action to activate his contingency. And like I've already established, the contingency is aware, but it’s only aware of...

You're a funny guy, Widow. I like you. That's why I'm going to disjoin you last. :lol: Firstly, that link doesn't even have the word contingency in it anywhere on the page. Contingency doesn't function like counterspell. Wouldn't that be apples and oranges? Or at least apples and pears...

If contingency gave the wizard a readied action, the words "readied action" would most-definitely appear in the spell's description at least by the time the 3.5 errata was released. Readied actions aren't often assumed. Consider also that contingency is an evocation spell, not a divination...
