OK, thanks. That's just what I needed. I appreciate the help.

Hi. I have lookead at the rules for grappling, but I didn't see anything about this: Is there a penalty for attacking a target that is in a grapple? Is there a chance of hitting the other person? For example, if a monster is grappling a character, and a second character (not in the grapple)...

C&C/3.5 hybrid I have been mulling over using a hybrid of C&C and 3.5. The players would use the 3.5 rules, and I would use the C&C rules. This way, the players get all the bells and whistles of character creation, and I get the ease of game preparation and ease of convertability from d20 and...

Why am I not going? I would have to miss the 3 games I am involved in. The last time I missed a session, the rest of the party was killed and my character was left to wander around by himself...

<shudder> No, I don't want to do that! I'm thinking that this would be a CK call. Most of the time, the spell would simply be cast--no attacks of opportunity, no CON checks. But if the situation seems to call for it, the CK could call for a check. Of course, there is still Scadgrad's point...

Yes, and player enjoyment works both ways--if they play spellcasters and are always having to make CON checks... I am thinking of a middle ground: no checks for CT=1 spells in melee against one opponent, but if the spellcaster is flanked or facing multiple foes, then a check would be required...

Your experience is appreciated, scadgrad. I have only played at low levels so far. And wizards definitely get tougher as level increases. But I think you are going a bit overboard when you say that "all the party can do to stop it is kill the guy". There is silence , hold person, web, and...

In my game, the only spells that invoke a CON check are those that have a casting time of greater than one round. Thus, any spell with a CT=1 can be cast in melee without a check. I think that if a wizard wants to go toe-to-toe with a fighter, he is already at such a disadvantage that a CON...

I also would love to take a look at your houserules, esp the feats. If you could send them to me at dunbruha AT yahoo DOT com I would appreciate it. Thanks -dunbruha

It's my understanding that the only time a character does NOT get the level bonus is when she is trying to attempt an action that is a class ability of another class. For example, a fighter opening a lock or a wizard trying to track. -dunbruha

My current group has (had) a player who would not let anyone touch his dice. One night, another player grabbed one of his d20s and waved it around in the general area of his crotch. There nearly was a fight, and the first player has not played since.

Yes, that was my confusion. Thanks for the ref to pg177.

Hi- I have a question about the Disintegrate spell. The saving throw lists: Fortitude partial (object). The text below states that after a ranged touch attack "Any creature struck by the ray takes 2d6 points/caster level". However, lower down it says that "A creature or object that makes a...

Thanks for the info. Is there an explicit mention of this somewhere?

Well, I did read it, but there is nothing in there that specifically adresses casting, just the effects of water on various spell effects (fire, invis). I guess my question is actually about the water breathing spell. In "Of Ships and the Sea" (p. 68), it says this about the spell: Does this...

Can you cast spells underwater using water breathing? I haven't been able to find anything about it in 3rd ed. According to "Of Ships & the Sea" (2nd ed), you could not, but I was wondering if it would be the same for 3rd. If so, is there any spell that will allow underwater spellcasting? (I...

invisibility and delayed blast fireball So what happens when an invisible wizard casts a delayed balst fireball with intent to attack? Does he turn visible when it is cast (no saving throws are made yet), or when the fireball goes off (and does damage)?

UA also has the Specialist Wizard Variants. For example, an Abjurer gains Resistance to Energy and gives up the ability to obtain a familiar.

Hi- If you try to cast "Charm Monster" on a creature that is currently "charmed" by someone else (an opponent), does it receive any bonus to its Will save? This happened today in my game: The BBEG had charmed a fire lizard to act as a guard for his fortress. The party's Bard tried to charm...

Really? I have been kind of leery of eTools, since it came out with such poor reviews. Does it give you the option of randomly generating armor, weapons, and items?
