I agree that "detect" != "see" in rounds 1 and 2. The difference being that in the 3rd round you get a location, which is sufficient to target. This horse is way into undead territory, but I'll ask one last question. By your rationale, wouldn't then arcane sight do the trick for dispel magic as...

Search DC roll = 26. I sense a trap. :) 3rd round. Are you pulling a Hypersmurf on me? Andargor

Axiomatic creature, BoED. Permanent, no LA, SR = HD x 2, plus a bunch of other resistances. Needs an Archon to cast (make a deal). Andargor

But isn't that irrelevant? You don't need to dispel pantone: Why do you need to identify it? As for the "aura isn't the same thing as a spell", I reiterate the short description of detect magic (which appears as is in recent books as well): Locating an aura = detecting a spell. A spell with...

I'm curious as well. If anybody has any builds, please post them. A player in an upcoming campaign is looking to play one. Andargor

Doesn't he need a standard action to activate the bless effect? Also, throw more elementals and undead his way. :) Andargor

I don't want to beat this point to death or to sound obtuse. :) It's just that this whole line of thinking doesn't ring true for me. Greater arcane sight functions like arcane sight, which in turn functions "similarly" to detect magic. All three detect auras. Note the following, which...

Hmm. I fail to see why, by that rationale, detect magic or arcane sight would not be sufficient. As you say, you don't need to identify the spell. Greater arcane sight reveals auras, just like the other two. It just "identifies" the spell in addition. Therefore, don't all three allow you to...

Wall of fire is fairly obvious, and visible. Why wouldn't you be able to dispel it without (greater) arcane sight? Andargor

It's just that "spell" isn't listed in the "Target or Area" entry of dispel magic. Since a spell is not an object or creature, I am not sure that the text you quoted applies in this instance. Of course, I have no other backing that says that targeted dispels against spells is a special case. So...

Not to sound snide, but perhaps the House Rules forum could help you out with this? Andargor

From Spellcraft: Depending on which circumstance predominates (you are present when the spell is cast or you find a spell already in-place), this would allow targetting of the spell by dispel magic. Note that in the second case, the effect must be visible (normally or through divination)...

What's the caster level of the character? As a Mystic Theurge, I would guess it is less than 21. The Solar has 22 HD. <house rule>We banned shapechange IOC</house rule> Andargor

Great plot hook. Some insane wizard trying to create the Kwizatz Haderach through cross-breeding programs! :p Andargor

Interesting, I'd never noticed that. You can even "try again" or read lips. I guess it's the difference between "I'm alert, but I don't know what I'm looking for" (Spot), whereas Search is methodical. Andargor

Simultaneous, but Crothian had the greatest Initiative Modifier. :) Andargor

The format of DR is something like this: DR <amount>/<types that bypass> <amount> gets deducted from each attack, even if they are all in the same round or from the same creature. <amount> does not get deducted if the weapon used has <types that can bypass>. E.g.: DR 10/good, 10 gets deducted...

And this is where Rule 0 comes in. :) Anyway, we're way off topic, but I can just say that with the proper tweaking VoP is an interesting addition to a Wizard. I know that IOC my character would be way too powerful with a spellbook in addition to VoP, and the DM made the right calls. Andargor

It has value: As for components, my character has Ignore Material Components. EDIT: The VoP description has a very specific list of things you can possess, and expensive material components are not permitted (although you can "beg" for them). Andargor
