    Any Feats to Give a Fighter or Paladin Spot as a Class Skill?

    That would not satisfy the requirement of 20 Ranks in Spot that he needs to take the Distant Shot feat.

    Entangle

    There is a problem. The druid should not have automatically gotten a surprise action. In fact by RAW he shouldn't have gotten a surprise action at all since he was in plain view (unless he had been made aware of the return of the fey'ri and the the presence of the other 2 invisibles), but...

    Entangle

    Sort of. By choosing to Ready an action combat starts. If the opponents are unaware of this because they haven't Spotted the combatant, thus don't act, or for whatever other reason don't realise combat has started (possibily Bluff?) then the sniper etc. has the initiative advantage. It is sort...

    Can illusions be used to provide a flanking bonus?

    Yes, illusions are difficult to adjudicate. This certainly isn't new to v3.x. This is a problem how? Certainly it requires you to think out this stuff clearly and make judgements. But such is the nature of areas where the SRD is poorly explained. If you are thinking of this from a balance...

    Turning off a Special Attack

    The way I read Trample is that it is an attack, so without another feat like Springing Attack the elephant would have to stop at the point of Trampling. There is the rub. The elephant could move, Overrun, move and attack (but not Charge apparently) if the small fry chose to give way. As far...

    searching the wizards site for Beholder cant find it spelling?

    It was actually released in the 3.0 SRD at one point, not sure if it is there right now. So it went to public domain. Not sure that the OGL legalesse allows retroactive removal of material. Certainly the 3.5 version is a no-no, but the old one could be in a state of limbo, that might vary from...

    searching the wizards site for Beholder cant find it spelling?

    It would seem shaky legal grounds for WOTC to complain given that it was them that initially published that [3.0] stat block to the public. The Wayback Machine likely has it stored.

    Can illusions be used to provide a flanking bonus?

    I'm going to link to the thread I hijacked (sorry :o) that I imagine lead to this thread. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=123140 In there around post 15 or so mike mentions a Rules of the Game quote that says that unseen/undetected attackers CANNOT form part of a flank. Of course...

    Entangle

    First, for a 1st level spell Entangle is just plain nasty in it's applicable environment. Second, the party should have preped a possibly hostile force with Readied actions on the caster. Whenever I see some nature hugging freak that even has the remote possibility of being a Druid I...

    Can't remember what its called

    Yet possibly not the effect he was going for. The problem is that high Will save folks could possibily keep a large percentage of their items, and the items that are really rude could have a Will save even higher making them less likely yet to be disposed of. If they have artifacts in that...

    does invisblitiy make defenders flatfooted

    I should have been more clear, I know there isn't anything in the SRD that specifically mentions Illusions or invisible attackers, and therefore while strictly defaulting to those answers you list is correct, it does make itself inviting to DM interpretation if they want to try treat it as an...

    does invisblitiy make defenders flatfooted

    The question I always wondered about is if the Invisible character could create the second side of a flank. Actually four questions: i) One attacker in flanking position is invisible and the target is not aware that they are there. 2) Both attackers in flanking position are invisible and the...

    Delay Death + Diehard Combo

    Loophole says you. Juggling hand grenades says I. Rules legality aside, he is gambling a lot on there being someone there to heal him (or self healing I suppose) back up to a nonlethal state before the spell duration is up...or some meddling mage casts something like Dispel Magic or Antimagic...

    AoO versus own group?

    Bah, you are just being paranoid about that Bag Of Endless Kobolds he's holding behind his back. :\ P.S. You need to be careful about constant frivilous threatening people in you party lest you create flanks on them, and other odd Feat related situations.

    Turning off a Special Attack

    EDIT: The problem I see is that you aren't actually Trampling, it's just that if you have Trample they can't voluntarily let you pass. The damage you do seems to be an optional hoof/foot attack, not the (better damage, can't miss) Trample. So it's not a matter of choosing not to Trample...the...

    Disrupting Spellcasters

    One snag with this Feat is the prerequisite, at least by my memory. If someone with the actual Complete Arcane handy could confirm: You must have already taken another metamagic feat, and it really messes with your caster levels because it subtracts 4 from your caster level (not sure what...

    Turning off a Special Attack

    My character has an GM custom designed elephant-like magic item that is much like a Wonderous Figurine: Marble Elephant, but much shorter duration (5 rounds). I'm about to unleash him in a fairly wide but somewhat crowded hallway. I want him to Overrun a small fry (low level human) to charge and...

    My @!@#! Player abusing Feather Fall

    Well thanks to my sporadic 24/7 job 48 hours has turned into 3+ weeks.... For anyone [not KD] still interested in the subject of RAW of whether Feather Fall takes "extra effort" beyond normal Free Actions, but is incabable of solving the logic equation "A and (A or B)" to "A", please refer to...

    Illusionary floor pit trap, what's the saving throw?

    LOL, here I was looking in supplemental books for the trap and the DMG what under I thought appropriate topics. I did glance through the traps but obviously I didn't look hard enough. Anyway how exactly to you "Disarm" such a trap??? That seems bizzare. I mean there are no moving parts. How...

    My @!@#! Player abusing Feather Fall

    To spell it out clearer for you, since this deals with the section of the SRD you are currently boycotting, it could subjectively be ruled to fall under "Violent Weather". No rain or sand, but without appropriate gear that's some nasty wind that can accompish the same thing. So is the Con check...
