1) It doesn't appear dismissable. I would allow the non-permanent effects (cleaning, etc.) to be instantly dispelled, automatic success. Same would go for a dispel in the middle of use. I.e your example of the blood, it just hit the ground. 2) I don't see why it couldn't switch targets and...

With the adjustment for the minor TK that was pointed out by UltimaGabe then, here are my thoughts: 1) For use to attack, I wouldn't have allowed it. For use outside of a combat round, cool. 2) No way. Magic gear falls into that special "need something more powerful than unseen servant at the...

Cool. I think, maybe, we have all three methods lined out. And to be perfectly honest, now that I have done that, I will probably change my house rules to the last category, and will house rule the Balor's whip accordingly... including for a normal run of the mill large Balor.

1) I would think the TK stuff would violate the "not duplicate other spell effects" aspect. Personally, for those kind of "neato" tricks, I tend to just let the casters do it at no spell cost, ala the old Ars Magica idea of spontaneous casting under the idea of "flavor text". But that's my own...

Oh, and one more chart for the third method :) Medium Whip - 15ft reach (per description) Medium Chain - 10ft reach (double natural reach) Large Whip - 30ft (based on medium being triple natural reach) Large Chain - 20ft (double natural reach) Huge Whip - 45ft (based on medium being triple...

The Balor's whip is no more atypical than a normal whip that states a 15' reach for a medium sized creature. It's not an instead. As I mentioned, the whip has the same outside confirmation as the large weapon does. I'm sorry that the RAW don't support a whip in a larger than medium sized...

How does one not notice a melee touch attack?

How are you concluding that a huge spiked chain has more reach? Reach (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/movementPositionAndDistance.htm): Medium 5 ft. Large 10 ft Huge 15 ft Gargantuan 20 ft Colossal 30 ft Medium Whip - 15ft reach (per description) Medium Chain - 10ft reach (per...

Under what logic?

The whip doesn't triple the distance per se though. It has a fixed distance of 15 ft. Now, reach weapons are defined as: Obviously the whip description supercedes that. So how to handle the Balor? I would adjudicate it as thus 1) Normal reach of a balor whip is defined as 20ft. 2) Large to...

1) I think they should notice it. I would adjudicate it that way under the premise that while there is no save allowed, it requires a melee touch attack. 2) I think an NPC is going to put an ass whooping on him and it won't take long for rumors of this guy trying to ensorcell folks, with the...

The way I would adjudicate it is there would be no penalty for the circumstances. 1) Whatever the normal DC for the rope would be, without the raging waterfalls (DC 20 in my opinion) 2) Whatever the normal DC would be, in this case, no DC at all.

Ah. Nice. I'm going to try that tomorrow and see which method seems to go the most fluid.

Would be kind of nice to be able to direct edit. Especially for canned adventures... I don't have much of a desire to input all of the appendix from the ToEE into it when I just need something that lets me specify "init, saves" and click "go" so to speak. I wound up making a custom excel...

Looks nice, but it's kind of heavy. Is there any way to directly edit the combat board? In my cursory eval, it appears that I have to manually add every creature, especially the custom bad guys, before I can add them to the combat board. Thanks!

Downloaded and will install shortly. Thanks!!

All, I'm getting ready to start DMing a campaign after about 20 years of playing, and I'm wondering if anyone has any tool recommendations, especially things like Excel spreadsheets for managing combat, etc. We game with laptops on everyone's desk, so having the tools online during the game is...

Thanks, but that only saves at 800x600 as a jpg and when I try to zoom in, the text is unreadable. Obviously, it looks fine in CC, but I don't have CC (just the viewer).

I don't know about the original poster, but we have a Friday night 3.5 game that could use 1-2 more players. PM me if you are interested.
