I dunno. I thought Robotech ran pretty well with Palladium system ... I don't know much about M&M, so don't consider this a counter-argument. Wait; wasn't there a d20 Mecha book a few years back? Anyone know how that set differs from Robotech?

I'd seen that and thought to myself: 'It is described as a hand; is that not discernable anatomy?' But the hand would be considered just an appendage, and so not sneak-attackable. So nevermind that. Jeez, I'm an idiot today ... it's probably a good thing tonight's game was cancelled.

Thank you. It almost seemed as if summoners had even more to worry about. It would have been nice to have a mention or a reference about this under attacks of opportunity-cast a spell. Oh, well. Looks like I simply need to be more thorough on my checking of this stuff.:)

I recently had a discussion with Hypersmurf about the charge maneuvre and when a character who chooses to do so is considered charging. The issue that apparently is not supposed to exist with charge explicitly does for Summon Monster spells. One who casts summon monster is casting a spell and...

I see. Actually, I've now a question about summon monster, but I'll start a new thread for it; this one's been jacked enough, I think.

Looks like I was too hasty in my looking. Oops. This is just an aside, though. The hand still takes damage as a normal creature.

Sounds odd, yes, but that is what the description states. The exact wording under interposing hand: "It takes damage as a normal creature, but most magical effects that don't cause damage do not effect it." I don't see 'force effect' anywhere; it is always described as a hand, not an effect...

No, because setting a spear is under readying an action and I don't think you can ready an action for something that has already happened. Though he may be still considered charging, the charge mechanic has already been resolved, making it too late for anyone to ready for that action. Then the...

The hands created by the Bigby's ___ Hand spells take damage as normal creatures; thus, sneak-attackable, and crittable ... I don't know if this is little known, but I've not met anyone else who knew it yet.

The readied attack would resolve before the charge attack, I would think, not before the charge itself. It must be, since this is a maneuvre spelled out in the RAW. How would you do it? Resolve both charge+attack first? As an aside: If I interpret correctly, this in particular is an issue...

Sure. The only repercussion of such a 'status' I can think of is a nearby spear-wielder on a later initiative 5'-stepping in to ready(set) and attack the charger for double damage, but on PHB160 under readied action it says that the readied action occurs and is resolved just before its specified...

Oh, and for many many minions(sounds best when said really fast), there's the Mob template fromc DMGII pp59-60, and, if they're small creatures there's the Swarmfighting feat from Complete Warrior p105(though I can't recall right now whether CW is 3.0 or 3.5).

In addition to potions, psionic tattoos serve about the same purpose, but with low-level psionic powers(if you have the XPH, anyway). A psionic tattoo of vigor, claws of the beast, biofeedback, or inertial armor would make a minion possibly a little more robust. Also, don't forget about the Aid...

Alright; a debate with Hypersmurf. Talk about a high CR. Nothing like that has been said here. He is in fact dead by the time his turn comes around, but until your nerxt turn comes up, you are engaged in killing him. Again, not incomplete, but the character is still engaged in the action of...

If it must, then it's going to have to without some of us who have invested so much into it as it already is and has been.

Or Dunmer. IMC Drow was pronounced differently depending on the speaker; no drow have actually said it, yet, given that they've only ever lived long enough to say "Hey, yo-aagkh!" My players tend to shoot first and cast speak with dead when necessary.

I don't think there are RAW to cover this cool little scenario. Even if there are, it may behoove you to post this in House Rules, as well, to see what folks come up with ... if you haven't already.

*agrees with this guy*

Actually, this is wrong. The very first sentence under Full-Round Actions on PHB 143 says: "A full-round action requires an entire round to complete." So, whether or not the Run description states it as full round action(and I see that it does on p144), or that you spend the entire round...

Let me begin by saying that I don't have Frostburn, so I only have your post and the core RAW to go by. First, this is two full round actions described here(charge and attack, then removal). Second, if it is not a heavier-than-light melee weapon, you can't power attack with it and certainly...
