I have two questions about healing surges. I think I have the answer, I just want to clarify it. 1. Only the surges spent when you take a short rest, is deducted from your total, right? So if a cleric uses a Healing Word, that surge is "free". 2. Does monsters have healing surges as well...

It's a supernatural attack, and it's not a breath weapon or a gaze attack. Guess that means it still works. Hurrah! Thanks!

OK, so I have a Lich Blighter as the major enemy in an upcoming adventure, and was wondering if the Blighter, when wild shaping into his undead animal form, still retained his paralyzing touch?

Yeah, I know that the essences have effective spell levels, I just couldn't find what a normal eldritch blast was. 1st? Then it's conceiveably vulnerable to Spell Immunity then..

Hey, I might be on to something here.. what about Spell Immunity? From the SRD: Bah.. it's quite possible that the wording of that spells only targets racial spell-like abilities as opposed to a class special ability. What's the spell level of an eldritch blast anyway? Might be higher than 4..

I think he can take 10 on UMD, so yeah. And they have a wand of fireballs, so he is not helpless. either way, I was just thinking of maybe giving the Lich Resistance 10 to Eldritch Fire or something. The warlock has a Chasuble of Fell Power or something, so his Eldritch Blast is, like 7d6 or...

Thanks for the suggestions. The problem is, the lich is a Blighter, so he has a very limited spell list. I'm inclined to create a Resist Elements (Eldritch Blast) and set it at 4th level. Not so much as to piss the warlock off, but the lich has fought them before, and knows they are coming back...

OK, so I have a warlock in my group, and he is practically unbeatable. Give a creature a high AC, check, the Warlock attacks the touch AC. Give the foe DR or energy immunities, check, the Warlock doesn't care about that. The only thing that seems to work is Spell Resistance, but with Improved...

Correct me if I'm mistaken... this spell prohibits others from entering within 10. ft of the caster (no save), and the barrier is broken if the caster attacks in melee. Does the shell prevent either the caster or the caster's enemies from attacking with ranged attacks or spells?

Well, if there is a definite ruling of something, that must be it. Thanks again! It now looks like the warlock can fly.

Thanks for the replies. The Hold person comparison and the encumbrance part must sway the player as well (he's a rules lawyer and would argue my decision).

OK, last session, the gnome warlock in the group (who has a 24 hour fly effect on him) got poisoned to 0 strength. In the rules it says that a character who reaches 0 strength falls helpless to the ground. But what if you're flying magically? You're basically just using your magic to propel you...

Hmm.. you're right, it just gets more effective. Well, that changes a lot, I guess. Well, I'm still unsure if I want to allow it or not. It's not like D&D doesn't have enough base classes as it is..

I didn't think about TWF, but even this rogue will have problems hitting five times before the opponent is dead. His Base Atk isn't that high. I can clearly picture this player begging the other characters to not interfere in his battles, so that he can use his flashy moves.

So I take it it's not broken at all? I'm concerned about how "strange" it is, with all this energy and combo thingy going on. I mean, the special abilities require five combo points (five hits) in order to execute. How many opponents lasts five rounds (and five hits from a rogue).

Sorry for the formatting, I just copied and pasted it from the e-mail I received from the player. I agree that it is far from unbalancing. The only thing I want to downgrade is the Rupture-ability. Even magical bleeding only requires 1 hp of magical healing damage, so I think it is too much that...

OK, one of my players came up with a variant rogue he wants to play in the next campaign. It is loosely based on a class from the World of Warcraft D20 game. I would appreciate any comments on this. Is the class too powerful? Too weird? I am hesitant to allow it, as I have no idea if it's...

Thanks for the clarification :)

It also says unless otherwise specifies. One of them does (the healing aura only apply to allies with half or less hit points). So you think it's just misspelling?

Does the Energy Shield aura only affect the Dragon Shaman and ONE ally? The text is singular "the shaman and his ally", which has led me to believe that this is the case.
