Ah, I see your objection. The "without using higher-level spell slots" is a comparison to the normal situation without this feat where you would have to use Quicken Spell instead, and hence use a higher-level slot to have them quickened. I see we are reading the "Metamagic Feats" entry...

Yes, it says "up to 5 rounds after the spell is cast". However, they are combat rounds, so yes they are integral. Sure, I could ready to cast on the last round, but what I'd really like to do is stack a few. (cast) 5... (cast) 4... (cast) 3... (cast) 2... (cast) 1... (time stop ends)...

How do you time a delayed blast fireball to go off just when a maximized time stop ends? Is it even possible? Does it instead go off on your turn 1 round after the maximized time stop ends? If not, the spell says: If thrown, does the bead detonate when it lands? Or does it again just sit...

I call that a ring of counternitpicks. :) Andargor

Yeah, you're right: So that might not work, depending on cosmology and pantheon (or lack thereof). Andargor

If I recall, Ur-Priests cast divine spells that don't come from gods. The whole concept is self-taught divine casting. Might be an interesting twist, only being able to get healing from evil divine casters... What about mundane healing? Complete Adventurer has mundane healing items, such as...

Whatever you say, Dr. Gled. :D Then I guess Fire Elementals will continue to suffer from Flame Rot. :) Andargor

For the record, the way you and FEADIN describe it is the way I've been playing it (the empowered fireball would not be quickened with the previous version of Automatic Quicken Spell applied once). Only just recently I've re-read the description, and I had my doubts. Unless my line of thinking...

I admit that it may be useful for melee-types. But with a requirement of Spellcraft 30 ranks, this is a hefty cost for a slim advantage. And true strike is overrated for mage-types. A +20 to hit is meaningless since most spells that can benefit from it are cast as ranged touch or touch attacks...

Please don't assume my intention... I wish to play by the rules. Your interpretation could be valid, but again according to what I'm reading, I disagree. Thanks for the reference in the Complete Arcane, I had completely missed that. I will advise my DM. It might involve some character...

Another oddity, as I've discoverered recently, is that elementals are not immune to disease. Magical diseases, ok, but mundane diseases...? I can't see virii surviving long in a Fire Elemental. :) Andargor

The following question applies to Automatic Still Spell and Automatic Silent Spell as well. If a character has Automatic Quicken Spell once (0 to 3rd level spells), and casts an empowered fireball, is it cast as a free action? Even though it is from a 5th level slot? I'm saying yes because of...

We house ruled it out, a "gentleperson's agreement" with our DM. But he pointed out that it is specifically mentioned in the adventure. And we were fairly mauling the dragon. So... We have pretty good Will saves at that level, except the fighter of course... :) So a bunch of items got blasted...

Yes, our party traveled to FR and Greyhawk from a custom world, using spelljamming and special portals. Andargor

The description of mordenkainen's disjunction indicates: Does this mean that even if a character makes a Will save, each item in her possession must also save anyway, or does that happen only on a natural 1? Is this the exception mentioned in the following entry: In essence, since...

Welcome to the boards! This is the Rules forum, where we discuss existing rules. The proper place to post this is in House Rules. Cheers, Andargor

Maybe: First paragraph: If you consider a class power list a class ability, then no. Second paragraph: Since they generally emulate a psionic class, you could say that they get the class' power list, so yes. I lean towards the second interpretation. Andargor

I can't find any references that say fire provides concealment. However, smoke does (20% concealment). Your call. Andargor

It depends on how you define the "location" of the spell and how you may target it. If I know charm person is in effect on a creature, can I target it? I hate to bring up fuzzy concepts such as intent of the rules, but in this case I would say that dispel magic should allow a 5th-level caster...

Perhaps the people in House Rules can help you out? Andargor
