    The Physics of Darkness (was Shadows of Illumination)

    Darkness isnt "Anti-light". The description of the spell is pretty clear IMO, in the sense that if you don't want an object radiating darkness in a 20' radius, you have to place it "inside or under a lightproof covering. [the effects] are blocked until the covering is removed. Maitre D

    Firing at someone engaged in melee question.?!

    The diagram on page 123 of the PHB representing Lidda shooting at orcs should enlighten you. Maitre D

    Movement, Drinking Potion, Attack of Opportunity

    1 causes an AoO when you leave the threatened area, as you will be doing something else than moving during the round. 2 does not provoke an AoO. Maitre D

    System Reference Documents

    Not a bad idea And if anyone need it, i have an even older copy of the SRD, in which the monsters that have now disappeared are still in it. Of course, such material was never distributed as open gaming content, so I don't know if there were be any problems associated with having it posted...

    Question about: Giants attacking "unarmed"

    Unarmed Attack and AoO: Good question. Looking into the MMII, it would appear that the giant does NOT provoke an AoO when striking with his fist, because it is considered a slam attack. Large giants do indeed cause 1d4 with their slam attack (strength bonus notwithstanding), huge giants 1d6...

    Question about: Girallon and "rend"

    The thing is, the description of "Rend" was probably copied and pasted from another monstrous description (quite possibly the troll's). The passage of "both claws" doesn't really make sense in the context that the creature has 4 claws. IMO, the creature could rend twice if the 4 claws landed...

    Supplies for a New DM

    The battle mat (whatever form it may take) is VERY useful (as are a good assortment of figurines). A DM's screen is only useful if your players have a habit of cheating by looking at your notes :) Other than that, markers, of course, scraps of paper to pass notes around if you ever need to...

    Player props and play aids

    I use cheap coffee myself :) (btw is voilà, not viola, which is basically the past tense of "to rape") Like I said, i make hand-drawn, aged maps and other paper hand-outs, I try to use fold-out maps from Dragon magazine, I make my own, elaborate Character Sheets, which I change every month or...

    Outsiders and Death on the Prime Material Plane

    If an outsider doesn't die on his home plane, he can't be brought back to life unless you use miracle or wish. The corpse of a slain outsider stays on the plane it was killed, as does all its equipment Quote from MMII: I guess one explanation could be that when you do not die on your home...

    Argh Multiple Attacks for Monsters Question

    Thanks. Is there an official writing on this? We had a discussion regarding this, and the opposite point of view was that the skeleton's claw attacks were simultaneous and thus could be both made during a standard action. Maitre D

    Argh Multiple Attacks for Monsters Question

    A skeleton has this attack entry: "2 claws +0 melee" Am I correct in assuming that if the skeleton moves, he can only attack with 1 claw? I checked the FAQ and couldn't find an appropriate answer. Thanks in advance. Maitre D

    Four adventurers walk into a forest...

    Don't forget that there is a good chance that not all the PC's run at the same speed... So one of them stands a good chance of being the Fiendish Troll's meal... Maitre D

    (OT) Dream Dinner Party

    Hehe interesting thread. First of all, I hate parties. I hate having a bunch of people I don't know real well in my home. Nevertheless, let's try to assemble an interesting crowd (in no particular order). Secondly, i would rather have a dinner party with friends and family that invite snobby...

    Insight bonus cost

    Maybe another way to figure it out. +10 to attacks means +20 to str or +20 to dex. An item that gives +20 to str (or to dex) would cost (corrected) 20^2X1000 or 400,000gp Now, since you only benefit from the bonus to hit (and not to damage (str) or AC (dex)) perhaps we could slash the price...
