AoOs are not a problem since grapplers don't threaten.

The major problem I have with making it a move action with a grapple check (or anything with a grapple check for that matter) is that most people simply will not be able to do it. Most monsters can out-grapple most PCs most of the time. Making retrieving a potion a full round action w/o...

So it sounds like you are saying that if they have a potion belt, move action with a grapple check, otherwise, not available.

Because, most spell components are closer in size to potions bottles then light weapons. Also, you are rooting around in a bag for the right one. ;)

Well Frank, you are certainly gunning for RBDM. ;)

So, in the last session, the mage was grappled by a giant constrictor snake. I felt very evil. :) It did, however raise a couple questions. The player decided he wanted to drink a potion to make up for some of the damage while the party tried to rescue him. Since the grapple rules don't...

We recently lost a player for a 3.5 D&D game on saturdays in Kirkland. Interested?

I think it is kind of nice that this discussion has been had so many times that we can skip the "does not-does too" portion of the thread, not to mention the trashing of the FAQ and Sage Advice and go straight to the part where we agree what the rules are and suggest what we think would be...

D'oh! :o What I get for not reading carefully.... RE: Sluggy; The funning thing is, I saw the picture and immediately decided that would be my avatar and username... Sad, really. :)

Funny enough, I had a similar experience playing a Thief in 1st edition. The DM wanted to know how I searched for traps. I responded that I had no idea, not bring skilled in such things. He persisted. This continued for a bit. I though he was a real jerk. :]

Are you a paladin? Yes or No only. (Yes, of course it is a silly set up, but it comes up every so often, so I figured it was worth a poll)

Those who cannot speak will need special dispensation to enter the city...

The party NEEDS to enter the city for very valid and completely unspecified plotline reasons. :p

The most recent paladin thread reminded me of one of the questions which seems to invariably come up when the paladin's code of conduct is debated. I am curious how the board in general feels about it. Without further ado, the set up: The party (containing a paladin, let's call him Dudley)...

Adding a vote to Mage of the Arcane Order, though you don't seem to get any familiar advancement in the 3.5 version.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Well, I went with listen checks every 10 minutes. The swamp is pretty consistant, 25' maximum sight distance due to mist. They did eventually figure out they had a flying spy, though they didn't realize the identity until the wizard sent out his crow familiar...

Useful advice for the spot, but I am more concerned about the frequency of listen checks. I really don't want to screw over the party on this one.

How often should PCs get listen checks to notice they are being followed through a swamp by an invisible flying quasit?

This I submit the question to you: What is the difference between a character with a high spot and one with a low spot? To me, it is situational awareness. You seem to be saying you don't see it that way.
