    How similar is manifesting to casting?

    I'm looking through expanded psionic handbook and I can't find where it specifically says manifesting a power provokes an attack of opportunity. There are a few places where it alludes to it. But no place where it specifically states it. Also what other similarities and differences are...

    Arcane Thesis - Too Powerful or Balanced?

    For the most part I think is okay for the reasons stated above, but if you are unsure about your game being broken ask the player what spell he plans on using it on. Then when a BBEG rolls around you'll be well prepared. I'm not saying have all your Npc's run around with cloak of antispell X...

    Protection from Breath Weapon?

    You are right it's in SC it's a 5th level Clr or 6th level Wiz spell called Aura of Evasion. 1min/level 10ft burst centered on you. All allies gain evasion if in range but only vs breath weapons. If you already have it you get +4 to save.

    Santified Mind Caster/Manifester stacking

    A friend of mine was thinking of going Sanctified Mind (lords of madness) after doing 11 levels of Psy warrior. He didn't realize that the caster and manifester levels don't stack. You have to pick either or. Now our campaign has a low amount of psionic encounters but when there are they are...

    Combining voluntary penalties

    If I have Power attack and Combat Expertise can I take a -5 to attack and gain a +5 to damage and AC? If no, is this a flavor thing or is there an actual prohibition? Secondly, I know there is a feat that allows a penalty to AC for power attack. Can you split this penalty up e.g. -3 AC and -3...

    Retroactive skill points.

    Do you gain or lose skill points retroactively based on int boosting items like X of intellect? Do you gain bonus points upon level up? I.e. more than your natural Int. Also where is this discussed in any core rule book? Thanks.

    Killing Ultimate Chameleons

    So I'm having to 2 separate issues but similar issues. 1st in the campaign that I run The are 2 players who are playing twins that have taken the chameleon Prestige class. I thought the build was interesting at beginning levels but now we are approaching level 15 and I find myself...

    Help casting repeat spell and a quicken repeat spell in same round.

    Thanks for the clarification. In what ways can you lower the spell slot cost? I only know of one feat in PHB2 that lowers it for only one spell.

    Do you allow Bluff/Sense Motive (and others) between PCs?

    I don't understand why your hesitant to do the secret rolls. Just because it's between 2 Pcs doesn't change too much. Is there a specific reason your avoiding doing the rolls. As someone who has DMed for groups that have almost always had a Party member do something against the group or...

    Looking for some evil non-cleric healer

    Well I'm not sure if this will destroy the style of the encounter but you didn't specify whether or not you wanted positive energy or negative energy healing. You could have a dread necromancer from Heroes of Horror. You'd have to have an undead dragon but charnel touch (with spectral hand...

    Are there anything particularly effective against neutral alignment?

    Worst thing that happened to my neutral character was getting his alignment forcibly changed. Though I dont know any spells, I was tricked into putting on an Item.

    Looking for a spell

    Hmm I don't remember any Max damage spell. I do remeber a divine feat called Luck Devotion. I gave you average damage no matter what you rolled. But it requires luck domain. Doon't think you would have forgotten those details.

    Ranged Sneak Attack

    In my opinion giving the SA when flanking at a ranged is pretty powerful. I don't think it's unblalnced.. until it starts happening with evil npcs. The other part, SA when opponent is flanked by 2 other allies is ok. In my group anyone flanked by to enemies gives +2 to all attackers. Never...

    Reduce person + armor

    While were on the subject... does magical amour normally re size to fit wearer? Does this resizing go through different size categories or only within the current size.

    Ranged Power Attack. Viable?

    This is exactly what I tried to explain to the player, but he offered that the extra dmg wouldn't come from draw strength but from hitting a more vital area or attacking in the same general area on the target, thereby increasing the overall dmg from the attack. Kind of like a reverse Rapid Shot...

    Death attack Time measured in and out of battle.

    Death Attack takes 3 rounds and the victim can't be aware of the assassin. In battle this is 18 seconds, (assuming others are distracting victim.) Out of battle are these 3 rounds equal to 3 minutes are are they also 18 seconds. Is there anywhere that mentions rounds mean different things...

    Ranged Power Attack. Viable?

    A player in my campaign wants a version of power attack for ranged weapons. I think for STR DMG weapons like spears or sling it might work (I think there are feats for thrown weapons,) but for bow weapons it just doesn't work. I've tried to explain accuracy is the basis for ranged attacks...
