And Baleful Utterance has a verbal one (not optional).

That seems to be a major drawback for warlocks then. They don't have a single ability that works at all in a grapple. And, by the rules, since more SLA's are still by default, there is no Still SLA feat. Guess I'll be house ruling someting about that to make it more fair.

Under weapon and armor proficiency for Warlocks it says that all invocations, including eldritch blast, have a somatic component. It does say they are "relatively simple" allowing the use of light armor. It doesn't say what this would mean in a grapple though which usually disallows all spells...

Right, but the arcane spell failure comes from the required somatic components, that's the whole idea behind the spell failure, right? I'm pretty sure it even says directly that you have move somewhat, or is this supposed to be a weird discontinuity? Armor might make your spell fail because it...

What are the rules for spell components for warlock incantations? I'm pretty sure it says that the eldritch blast requires somatic only (so it can't be done while grappled, right?), but it says nothing in any of the others except for an occasional mention of having to say something (making it...

Are there any rules for removing specific enchantments from a weapon? Like if the group finds a nice unholy weapon and want to remove the unholy but keep the rest?

So, how do the rules deal with this situation: John tries to grapple Fred. Fred decides he wants to be in a grapple, however he doesn't want John to do damage to him for suceeding to start the grapple. Would you just say the grapple is automatic, but the check is only for whether or not damage...

I'm curious what house rules people use for grappling. The only one we use so far is that intead of the AoO automatically stopping a grapple if it succeeds (which has always seemed absurd to me --- if Godzilla tries to pick you up and you do one point of damage with a tooth pick, the grapple is...

Protection from Evil is already a totally broken spell for first level. I changed the not be touched clause to only affect evil summoned creatures for a start, and that still leaves it too powerful. I wouldn't allow a ring of continuous protection from evil in my campaign as anything less than...

The CR system is already completely trashed in Dragonstar, one of the biggest problems with the setting. I've been running a Dragonstar campaign for a while now, and most of the CR's for monster's are totally worthless. Just a simple example are golems, which become a sad joke in Dragonstar...

Thanks all, looks like my off the cuff guess was pretty good then.

How far does a character fall in a round according to the rules? I just approximated it to 500 ft. the first round and then 1000 ft. per round after that, using roughly real numers (very rough, just wanted something simple and quick). I tried to find an official ruling on this, but couldn't. Is...

How would you rule a caster readying an action to cast Prismatic Wall in front of a charging opponent? If you would give the opponent a Reflex save to avoid running through the wall (which was my on the fly ruling) what would you use for the DC?

How would you rule the interaction between a Freedom of Movement spell and an Air Elemental's Whilrwind ability?

I wouldn't make it a Transmutation spell since that goes against some of the point of how the schools are set up. I don't believe there are any Transmutation spells that do d6/level damage, those are pretty much all Evocation, aren't they? And Disintigrate isn't really a counterexample, since...

Well, we're playing Dragonstar, so no one uses anything as archaic as dex gloves when there's spellware available.

Here's a new magic item I introduced into my games in case anyone else wants to use it. It was mainly put in for convenience, and ceratinly wasn't the least unbalancing in my campaign, though I could imagine it being a problem in some. However, the convenience factor was overwhelmingly...

My version did adjust the CR for doubling speed for flying and non-flying speeds. If you were large, then it would be 0 mod up to 79 speed, but then at 80, the first doubling, would be one mod level, then the next one at 160, etc. I'll have to look at the other one with macros.

I had the creature type adding the bonus at first, but then when I looked over your pdf more closely it seemed that all the bonsuses just from creature type were only a sum of all the smaller bonuses that that type gets. This meant adding a bonus for creature type would give you double bonuses...

I created a new thread for it: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=120184 You can respond to it to bump it if you want so others might see it too.
