    Haste/Slow?

    I can very well see his point. We all know light/daylight and (deeper) darkness, and we do know they supress the other spell for their own duration (so a daylight cast on a deeper darkness lets the surrounding light conditions light the area) and don't dispell them. Now we all know haste and...

    Swallow Whole and Fly = problem!?

    original post deleted due to accidental double post new post: Good point, so that's what I could have him do the grapple check for (and yes, you can't move while grappled unless you win an opposed grapple check according to 3.5 rules, and I know I read somewhere official that grappling hasn't...

    I thought so too, but we looked it up and there it was, suprise on all sides but still :)

    Jumping and Falling Monsters

    Well if you wanna make him jump on his enemies, you can of course do that, but his 'targets' would have to be completely in the space the elemental occupies after landing (taken from trample, see MM glossary, probabl not an issue since most characters only occupy a 5-foot-square) and could...

    Swallow Whole and Fly = problem!?

    Before I start: we are still using the 3.0 rules, but 3.5 input is still welcome :) I had a situation recently where a small character with fly cast on him was swallowed whole after a large froglike creature (with improved grab and swallow whole) grabbed him with his improved grab. Now, he...

    Combat Expertise = Better Defensive Fighting

    This was actually addressed in the FAQs for the 3.0 rules (not sure about 3.5, but I assume it didn't get changed): Also the player can choose how many points he wants to substract from his attack and added to his AC as a dodge bonus, this number just can't be higher than his base attack...

    Ending Fatigued & Exhausted Conditions?

    Sorry about the confusion then, I thought it would just be an extendec collection to those of the FRCS, but not changing the basic rules established there.

    Ending Fatigued & Exhausted Conditions?

    Hi! Actually, that's not entirely true. I don't have Players Guide to Faerun, but you seem to imply that the feat doesn't explcitly say that you need to take it at first level but that this applies to all regional feats in general. You can select regional feats later though, as clearly stated...

    Studded Leather, is it a metal armor for game purposes?

    Oh I forgot, Storyteller01: Even if all that would happen its still not relevant because the metal of the chain or the watch doesn't attract a lightning, it would simply conduct the electricity if it came in contact with, say, the positive pole itself (again: and the voltage would be high enough...

    Studded Leather, is it a metal armor for game purposes?

    OK sorry, but that's just plain wrong and against the laws oh physics! The human skin has a certain resistance, you just need at least round about 60 Volts to pass it (and all vehicles use 12 (cars) or 24 (trucks) Volts for their devices as far as I know even in military vehicles). Even if you...

    Setting Spears against a Charge...

    What level are your characters? I have a small barbarian-frenzy berserker (total level 9) in my group that usually has a bulls strength cast on him (in most cases that results in +2 to str. mod) who wields a medium sized mercurial greatsword (exotic, 2d4+1.5str, x4 on a crit). Now since he has...

    Magic weapon question (my players stay out!)

    uhm... actually (SRD, 3.5 but unchanged from 3.0): Ranged Attacks: With a ranged weapon, you can shoot or throw at any target that is within the weapon’s maximum range and in line of sight. The maximum range for a thrown weapon is five range increments. For projectile weapons, it is ten range...

    Studded Leather, is it a metal armor for game purposes?

    Yes I would agree, that's what I would understand as "close-set metal rivets", unfortunately that's just never gonne work out with the given weights in th PHB, which says 15 pounds of leather and 5 pounds of metal, so it can't be this dense. Also take another look at the studded leather picture...

    Studded Leather, is it a metal armor for game purposes?

    And how exactly are you trying to contradict me when I wrote: My point was that all other sources (or all that I know of in the PHB/DMG and so on) treat Studded leather as NON-metal armor (see posts above), so its one against many. bye Creat

    Pearl of Power

    Honestly, I wouldn't try to solve this problem with a line of text given in the clerics description which clearly wasn't written with the pearl of power in mind (hell, they probably didn't even know that item would even exist later on). Think about what the pearl of power is for, what it is...

    Studded Leather, is it a metal armor for game purposes?

    While we're talking about the actual physics/reality (as far as you can speak of those in a fictional world only loosely based on the real world to be able to fit into simple rules): A guy wearing a padded leather armor and a club with a wooden shield is on watch. The party gets ambushed. The...

    Pearl of Power

    In the end it's just a dm call, but I'd read the rules like that too: you get the dropped spell back can cast it, if you allow that to be converted to a cure spell again is more or less irrelevant, you could also let the player decide if she wants to recall the actually cast cure light wounds...

    Studded Leather, is it a metal armor for game purposes?

    Because it would be the only armor no mentioned by its full name. They probably would've used "all leather" or something to indicate both leather types bye Creat

    Studded Leather, is it a metal armor for game purposes?

    Well that's your call, but after all I think that's because they contain a noticeable amount of metal (1/3 from the AC or weight differences). Or just a nice picture: picture Or the text that describes the armor in the PHB (3.0 and 3.5 edition, it didn't change): "This armor is made from tough...

    Studded Leather, is it a metal armor for game purposes?

    I would clearly vote for no, since the armor is only reinforced with metal parts. It does not supply a conducting surface, only some conducting points, but I would probably rule this as something in between and still give a +1 bonus instead of +3. Look at it the other way: Would you allow a...
