Hi. Our DM has been using eTools on a laptop to handle all encounters and that has been working out very well. Combat is much faster for him since he rolls all dice on his PC and the creature's stats are all at his fingertips. Recently we just set up an old PC (P-II I think) and a monitor...

That's all fine and good, Numion. But please don't tell me your cleric is of a good alignment. Or a lawful one too, for that matter. My cleric is NG and he feels personally honored to help out the party in a support capacity. And as CRGreathouse pointed out, he also feels more than a...

...and THERE you have it. See? I wasn't the only one to notice this situation could use a little help. :D Thanks.

To make matters worse, here is the same scenario where EIGHT mooks are all flanking the hapless duo! 1 2 3A4 5B6 7 8 In the diagram above, if 6 is helping 5 flank B, can he also help 1 flank A at the same time??

Double post! Please dont reply to this one.

You see this all the time in movies: Two hard-pressed heros standing back to back while fending off attacks from all directions. Well, since 3E doesn't use facing rules and since you can flank someone just by getting on both sides of them, the classic back-to-back tactic doesn't seem as...

Actually, I HAVE used yours in the past. Thanks. I just wanted to thank Smetzger for his work. The pop-ups thing WAS funny though...:D

This is what we use. It's easy, it's quick, and calendars agree with you. I have never seen any of our PCs stay up until 11:59 PM, just so they can use an item again in 2 minutes. And even if they did use it again at 12:01 AM, the fact that they now cannot use the item ALL THAT DAY is a good...

Ok, scarce high-level casters and/or scrolls, I'll buy that. But that still brings me back to where did Mahali get that "No" answer? As much as you, or I, may think it should be possible for this to work, I am still curious in an "official" ruling of some kind.

Thanks for your response. However... Problem is, even medium to low level PCs can easily afford one of these gloves and a GMW scroll. No actual casting needed. Heck, forget the scroll, pay someone the measly fee (for the benefit gained) to cast GMW for you. With the gloves, those hour...

Oh, another question came up for the tower shield: If a tower shield provides cover only, not AC bonus, what good is a +2 tower shield over a +1 one? For that matter, what does a +1 tower shield have over a regular one? (Other than the fact that it's tougher ad you can now enchant Animate on it.)

Thanks for the quick and easy answers. However, for the Gloves, if there have been arguments both ways, who finally made the "NO" ruling? WOTC? Sage?

This rocks dude. Thanks!

Two magic items have brought up several questions. 1) Animated Tower Shield: How much cover can an Animated Tower shield give you against someone you are in melee with? I would imagine full cover will not allow you to attack THEM right? What's the most cover you can get and still attack in...

Haw! Maybe I am strange, I like it too. It's cool somehow...and it just might work! And in the example above, I sure am glad it's a Pally that needs the item and not some CE despot out to rule the world. :eek:

Sorry I've been too busy to respond lately, but WOW lots of good ideas here. I am definately going to print out this entire thread and bring it to my next gaming session and go over it if the DM wants to take the time. Something else just occurred to me. What about if the PCs used a Legend...

Good point, Avatar28. I can see it working like that, yes. ~~~ Amen, Spatzimaus. That's exacly what I was trying to say in my last post. Looks like there are no hard and fast rules, so once again it's up to individual campaigns and DMs. I hope ours loosens up a bit before he makes his...

Thanks Coredump for the long response. Reading what you wrote made me realize why so many of us are not seeing eye-to-eye on this. Here goes... 50%-ers: Magic Items are expensive, hard to sell items that not a lot of people want, or can afford. 100%-ers: Magic Items are rare and much sought...

I can't show you the page number, that's the whole point of this thread...did you miss it? Everybody is telling me how they think things should work based on the real world and all I am asking for is a concrete example from the rulebooks. That's why this was posted in the RULES FORUM. Half a...
