If medium-size rogues have the Heavy Mace on their weapon proficiency list, does a Large (i.e., two-handed) Heavy Mace still count? (In our next game, I'm playing a half-orc rogue, and all the light, one-handed weapons just seemed too wimpy for a brute. ;) )

What happens when a Beholder is hit with a blindness spell? a) it is blind, as per the 100% concealment rules, but can still fire its eye rays -- IF it manages the listen check and 50% miss chance. b) only one of its eye stalks, or the central eye, is disabled; but the rest can still fire away...

Total brain fart - Can an elven druid use a bow, as per their innate racial proficiencies, or are they limited to the Druid weapon list (i.e., sling)?

When a PC does a whirlwind attack, and makes an attack roll at everything in reach, can he avoid allies next to him and just not hit those squares?

If a PC tries to simply grab an NPC's item during combat, is that a Pickpocket attempt, or attacking an item? The situation in question comes from HoNS: The PC rogue (invisible) tried to grab Aoket's Helm of Teleportation during combat.

If you apply levels to a monster and add a Spell Focus feat, does that affect innate spell-like abilities? For example, if you add Spell Focus (Enchantment) to a Succubus, does the DC for her Charm Monster go up by 2?

Just to make sure I've got the rules right, in order for a Mind Flayer to pull off an Extract (Ex), he must: Round 1: Hit with a tentacle attack at +8. If successful, attempt an Improved Grab (Hold) at -20; net -12. Round 2: If the -12 Hold check succeeds, he can then attempt to attach the...

Let's suppose our heroic wizard memorizes his spells the morning of day one. Our wizard then spends the next 30 hours traveling to a dungeon. (Assume it's now around 2pm.) He then unloads all his spells in combat. Can this wizard now climb up a rope trick, rest for 8 hours, then memorize...

If two clerics are side-by-side and attempt to turn undead one right after the other, does the second cleric's turn overlap with the first, or does it only affect undead not already turned?

I had thought I read somewhere that the tumble check to avoid AoOs had been changed to include the DC plus the opponent's BAB. However, I looked through the FAQ and erratas and found nothing. Was that something I read here as a "suggestion", or is that official?

Can you use a Listen check to determine the square that an Invisible creature is in? Or, does beating the Listen DC (including distance modifiers) only give you general direction. If you fail the DC by less than 5, do you use scatter rules to see which square you thought it was in, or does a...

Suppose Fighter A is dominated by a vampire. Wizard B manages to get a Protection From Evil spell on Fighter A to suppress the domination. Wizard B now wants to cast Dispel Magic on Fighter A to remove the domination. From the SRD: Targeted Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target...

Actually, the point of having a scroll organizer is for the industrious wizard/sorcerer to be able to hold 15 scrolls at once, rather than: Pull scroll Cast Pull scroll Cast ...etc

Can someone please explain what actually happens when a vampire is reduced to 0 hps? The "Slaying a Vampire" section in the MM is a little ambiguous: * Does the vampire continue taking damage below 0, or do they stop at 0 regardless of additional damage? * When they turn to gaseous form at 0...

Actually, arcane casters do have an emergency heal spell: Endurance :D

Sorry, forgot to qualify that. I mean, to get a cohort, not followers.

Can you use a temporary Charisma boosting enhancement (like Eagle's Splendor) to affect your Leadership score?

Like this This is just one situation that comes to mind. Picture two guards standing at their post: [Player] I cast Ghost Sound around the corner behind them, forming the sound of 4 men charging. [Guard1] "Did you hear that?" [Guard2] "What was that?" [DM] Rolls saving throws for the guards...

Thanks for the comments. This also didn't sit well with me either, I just couldn't put my finger on why.

Two questions: * Can one cast of Permanancy affect multiple spells in effect? (Paying the xp cost for all spells, of course.) * Does the spell to be made permanant have to actually be cast, or can it be put in place by, say, a potion? The situation: The rogue in our party has a potion of...
