The throw should mostly be a strength check, and the person getting thrown is going to have to deal with the fall. You go 15 feet up, you go 15 feet back down at the end and should suffer falling damage (unless you use Tumble or somesuch to negate some of it)... A) Probably a ranged attack to...

Especially since Detect Magic is an emanation, and as Hypersmurf pointed out to me in another thread, emanations do not penetrate total cover. To me, this means that if the trap is somehow inside an object and enjoys total cover, detect magic will not reveal it. For example, if there's a plain...

And apparently not enough with knives in their backs!

Hence why I'm not really worried about the possibility. I think by the time the decision has to be made, it'll be obvious that the class isn't ridiculous. I've also pointed out to him that when I grow wings, I'll essentially have to buy all new armor, which is pretty expensive!

Sounds like you could use the hathran to convince the party to try and rescue Pelerin and thus convince Shanton to restore the alienist. Or maybe Shanton finds out about the alienist's troubles and comes to the party, asking their help in finding Pelerin and in return he'll restore the alienist...

I'm playing a character at the moment who will eventually go dragon disciple and develop wings. The DM seems to be under the impression that DD is a vastly overpowered prestige class, and has indicated when the time comes he may not give me the ability to fly. I plan on petitioning essentially...

Remember that you have to augment it to affect extra people, they can't be more than 15' from the next one of them, and there's a cap to how many power points you can spend on augmentation (you can't spend more points on a power than your manifester level). Since that's 14, you can basically...

That's a really clever idea.

But that's the hallmark of the barbarian!

I'd take a good look at Dwarven Defender for the 6/- DR you can get (as opposed to 5/- 19 levels of barbarian nets you). That lets you bypass barbarian and take fighter for feats. A small hit to your HP (d10 instead of d12 for 7 levels). I also like the Diehard feat for this concept. Even in...

Hence the value of playing a wizard with no internal monologue.

If you were one level higher (and thus had access to 5th level spells), I'd have suggested using Secret Chest to keep your spellbook in, only retrieving it every morning to prep your spells and then putting it back in the ethereal plane. If you have the time, maintain copies of your spellbook...

I'd agree with your ruling and your logic. I think standing up from sitting in a chair is more like dismounting a horse than it is standing up from prone. Not that it's exactly like either, but I think the mount/dismount rules are the closest parallel.

Does Lady Gallidy have any way of contacting them (via sending or similar)? Perhaps she believes in their innocence and wants them to return to defend their reputations. Or maybe even better, she believes they're behind all the awful things happening and wants to call them to accounts? Just...

I hope nobody in my group reads this thread or they'll never let me be a rogue/sorcerer... :(

I would make a situational ruling based on the source of the damage reduction: If the conceptual source of the DR is akin to fast healing, falling damage would be negated. DR from, say, wearing adamantine armor - maybe not.

Per the fabrication spell, magic items cannot be transmuted, so I think I'd agree with you in this case. Were it just a suit of nonmagical armor or somesuch, I think I'd lean towards it getting transmuted along with the dirt/wood/whatever it's buried in.

That could be pretty effective given the right situation, but you have to be within arms reach of a wall to use slow fall.

From the darkness stuff SlagMortal posted: And to pinpoint an invisible person, you have to beat the DC to hear them by 20.

Also, if the bad guys need to flush the PCs out of their buildings, consider having them use dust of dryness: one can absorb 100 gallons of water and becomes a marble that releases the water when broken. They're pretty cheap (850 each), so the bad guys could take a handful of these filled with...
