    I ran through a prismatic sphere!

    As it's been said, you have to destroy the layers in order. And you can use dimension anchor on yourself to not get sent to the other plane, slow poison and energy protection for the approproate colors. Don't know what to do about insanity and petrification though, unless you're undead.

    Mirror Image

    He is still 'moving', doding around, looking about, etc. He's not paralyzed, etc. So the images do the same thing. And, as the images are not creatures, they cannot be cleaved/great cleaved. If they can, then you can cleave a spell, which opens up a whole bunch of other things.

    Who can climb?

    In a world where you can 'track a hawk on a cloudy day', give them a check. Give a big minus, but give them a check. Yes, the party should be able to make common sense decisions, dogs/wolves don't climb trees. But, worgs, may. Recently, we had a hyena animal companion and a druid as a...

    Arch of Lightning

    I got a flesh golem in the party and I target it and the bad guy with this spell. Works great. And no SR? What's up with that? Lightning bolt, chain lightning have SR, but Arc of Lightning no? Weird.

    Anybody using Benign Transposition?

    Seems like a great spell for the quick monk and the slow heavily armored fighter. Or for the bad guys, Invisible transpoitor, healer in reserve, pop out wounded fighter, heal her, pop out other wounded fighter, continue until spells are out. Anybody have any good or bad experiences with this...

    Vampires and Disintegrate, does it destroy it? + Libris Mortis question

    Seems to me disintigrate is the really, really fun way to off one of the most troublesome monsters around. Hit the beastie, it's gone.

    Items to create expensive material components

    So, if you make an item for a spell that has an expensive material compenent, one is to multiply the cost times 50 and add it to the item. How about an item that just produces the expensive material? An incense creator for legend lore, once/day, or an ointment dispenser for true seeing...

    Take 20!?

    If you think the skill checks at high level are bad, wait until you see the effects of Hero's Feast every day. No more Poison No more Disease No more Fear Which sounds pretty bad until you realize at that level a hero should be pretty much immune to that stuff. More heroic that way. Besides...

    Can I have my golem accept boosty spells?

    And I imagine since it has no intelligence if I but a headband of intellect on it it won't raise it's intelligence to 2. Ah well. Thanks for the input, time to change plans.

    Can I have my golem accept boosty spells?

    Yeah, vest of resistance would be a little silly, but who checks a golem for magic? OTOH, I could put him an outfit of magic studded leather. No minuses on attacks, etc.

    Can I have my golem accept boosty spells?

    So, if I get my golem a belt of Strength and boots of speed, that would work? Maybe not boots of speed, or anything that involves charges. Good for the extra items gained though. "who wants this +1 vest of resistance?" "Everybody has better?" "we'll sell it in town. in the meantime, have the...

    Can I have my golem accept boosty spells?

    They have no mind, but my character is the creator of the creature. So, can I order them to accept Haste, Bull's Strength, etc? Those spells do allow Saving Throws and Spell Resistance. But one can voluntarily miss a saving throw and lower their spell resistance. But a construct has no will, so...

    Why don't vampires have a standing army of bodyguards?

    Fun with templates "It's just an orc bandit." Actually, it's a friggin orc vampire lord with a lot of minions. Did you know lycanthropy can affect giants? Hey, lets just sunder that little ol' silvered weapon you have, and go to town.

    Why don't vampires have a standing army of bodyguards?

    problem is is: How long do they stay dominated? You have to redominate them a bunch of times over time. And, if you miss one and they save and: A) escape and/or B) kill you that would be a bad thing. So, sure, increase the paranoia of the vampire lord. OTHO, all vampire lairs should have...

    How can my 12th sorcerer get acid for his Acid Rain Spell?

    So, we're in the middle of the world's largest dungeon and my sorcerer is about to go up to 12th and get a 6th level spell. I'd like to get Acid Rain but the material component is a flask of acid. Which is in short supply down here. I'll be able to change a 4th or lower spell, and we have a kind...

    Mirror Image and Targeting

    Cleave (or Greater Cleave) is easy. Can you cleave a spell? If you can, then yes you can cleave an image. If not (and you shouldn't be able to) then you can't.

    What spells do you ban?

    I didn't like it too, until I thought that it should be heroic that characters of that level should not be bothered with mundane disease, et al. I would like to ban glitterdust. Makes golems kind of useless. There's an immunity to ray spells that would make the beholder kind of useless. The...

    Hallow/Unhallow: after you leave the area

    The spells Hallow/Unhallow allow one to fix a spell to the site. The list is long, but the question is: Once you leave the site, the spell goes down, right. It doesn't last after you leave. If you have tongues, you can only speak and be understood while in the area. Once you leave, it's gone...

    Low-CR constructs with ranged attacks?

    I just had animated objects be statues and have them throw darts Didn't work well, though, they can't hit at all well.

    Alternate Vampiric Touch

    Magic item, then. 36,000 gp or so would be once/rd at an average of 11 pt/shot. a minute later and the spellcaster has 100+ HP for an hour or so.
