well, the only thing about the faq, etc. is that it destroys this preconceived notion that a cleric's deity grants spells. dms can no longer use the "your god refuses to grant you that spell" excuse. [shrug]

all fish live in water... but not everything that lives in water is a fish...

well, i tend to think of spot as "to notice something from a distance" and search as an up-close examination. i would definitely allow a search check to discover a hidden character, but you'd have to be fairly close to said character. however, if the player requested the search check for...

technically... 1) a full-round action is that and only that: a full-round action (i.e. a full-attack, a spontaneously metamagicked spell...). it can't really be broken down into smaller parts. 2) there is no such thing as "standard action + move" (or vice-versa). a standard action includes a...

another thing about shocking grasp. this one came up on the official wotc d&d boards... someone brought up shocking grasp's target; "creature or object touched". now, since the spell is only supposed give the caster the ability to shock people, shouldn't the target be "personal" instead?

hah! dude, you make it sound like it's gonna happen 99% percent of the time... calm down. there's a 65,000,000:1 chance that life on earth could be obliterated by an asteroid. does that mean we shouldn't live on earth? :)

like caliban said: sure. however, i would try to also keep this reasonable. remember, scrolls don't have and infinite writing surface. if someone creates a scroll with a single spell on it, chances are they scribed that one spell to fit the entire page (this is just my opinion, though. how much...

hey, guys... cut the crap. this is the "d&d rules" board, not some friggin' soap opera.

how do you figure? according to what ristamar found on monte's old boards, each extra attack granted by a speed weapon is added onto the normal attack sequence (sorta). so, the character would get his normal 4 attacks (from bab and itwf), plus the extra attacks from each speed weapon (that's 2...

i wouldn't go as far as totally fizzling the wildshape. i'd allow it to happen, but definitely not into any occupied square.

it'd be nice if there was a state called "unaware". this would probably be somewhat arbitrary, though.

oh my ****ing god... there's three pages of discussion on this topic? how many people on this thread actually graduated from high school? you apply your dex modifier (positive or negative) to your ac... being flatfooted only removes your dex bonus. bonus = positive penalty = negative positive...

[ looks around the thread ] official input, huh? ... and no one's bothered to ask the sage? [ shakes his head ] *** thread hijacking ... continued ... *** that made absolutely no sense at all ... if they're clear rules, then they're not unclear, and the dm doesn't have to make a judgement...

uhmm... yeah it does. does no one ever read the player's handbook anymore?? i'm not going to type it out, so you're gonna have to get off your lazy ass and open up the damn book. :rolleyes: but reading the spell description, i would have to say that, as an in-game explaination, the spell was...

well, let's look at what's involved here: 1) the character is holding a one-handed weapon. he's considered armed. 2) the character is making an unarmed attack with his other hand (the one not holding the weapon). 3) the character does not have improved unarmed strike. 4) there character is not...

[sigh] does everyone here have attention deficit disorder? seriously ... this thread isn't about gauntlets or touch attacks, now is it? those are for another thread. this one was pretty specific. there's no need to dilute it.

oh come on guys, all of you. why couldn't you just quote the one line from the phb that puts this to rest ... just because you have a sword in your other hand doesn't mean you don't have to get close to punch him. yes, you provoke an attack of opportunity.

i'm not so sure about that, caliban. after all, you can grapple, trip, disarm, etc as an aoo. i'd say those are definite candidates as a trigger for the ready action. i mean, seriously, you just screwed a good portion of undercover sting operations. :) "we wait until the target makes an...

ignore everything after the "yes". :)

anyone who argues that the rogue gets screwed with any house rule in this thread hasn't taken the "common combat sense" feat. heh. i play a rogue. i don't know about anyone else, but my guy doesn't just gleefully leap into flanking position because it allows him to do more damage than he...
