Dust coatings not being contiguous? Not in RAW, but in IRL. I work in an environmental enforcement job, and now and then I go enforce dust nuisance issues. I've seen a lot of dust coatings. Glitterdust ... Faerie Fire. Both of them outline the target. They have a different effect. I was...

Obviously true! And here I was almost going to do so again... Personally I think submerged in water you would be pretty difficult to see. Water is pretty much just heavy air. The glitterdust statement you made is more persuasive, IMO. I see the Arcane Sight spell as more akin to Faerie Fire...

But the spell description does clearly state that you know the location... and the spell states that you know it by seeing it. I would argue that even with a three foot thick aura you'd be able to negate the miss chance. And that an aura that would prevent you from being able to *see* the...

Well, you don't. Unless, of course, the creature has a magical spell of effect on it. Or, of course, if the creature can cast arcane or divine spells... or spell like abilities? Not necessarily. If you can't see something in the middle of an illumination, your eyes will fill in the gaps that...

And I understand the "it's more diffuse than that" thought. But the spell states that it locates the object/person in question. It doesn't matter if it's white text on black or black text on white, either way you're specificallly seeing the words, and you're reading them without a miss chance...

Now, my favorite house rule would strengthen illusion, and would generally have illusion spells be less detectible. There should be a built in defense around illusion spells such that they aren't so easy to detect. They should give off aura's *other than* illusion. And, in the case of...

Wait! I already did this, based on your own looking up the word (at dictionary . com you stated). "2. A distinctive but intangible quality that seems to surround a person or thing;" Now, to be complete, you have to take this definition as if you could (perhaps magically?) see auras. That...

But that's detect magic, which is clearly different than Arcane Sight. The AS spell points back to detect magic, certainly, but detect magic simply detects things, so it's easy to say that you don't know where it is. AS SEE's things, and locates them. Due to the way vision works. It *should*...

Well, let's look at your dictionary definitions here for my answer "1. An invisible breath, emanation, or radiation." Except, of course, it's not invisible if you use the AS spell... "2. A distinctive but intangible quality that seems to surround a person or thing" And it's not intangible...

Completely true. Which is something I figured into my interpretation of the spell there, why I said the cantrip completely only locates the square (it clearly only detects, not sees). But really the spells while not meantioning each other... well, you're doing more than locating the square...

No. Nor wisdom. The only ECL +0 race with a + to a mental stat is the Grey elf, that I know of. This is definitely a lack in the system... ALthough I theorize that it was planned, and the grey elf slipped through later.

I think you're wrong there. I'm looking at the text of the detect magic spell, and I don't see anywhere that it says it locates only the five foot square the aura is in, no indication that it detects the five foot square and nothing more. Indeed, it seems to me to say quite the contrary. On the...

Well, they point towards a detect magic, but a stronger and more clear detect magic. Plus the "why" is that I think you could argue within RAW that you could indeed 'see' exactly where a magic aura is even with the detect magic cantrip ... assuming it stayed still for three rounds. Although that...

I'd pick Dark Pheonix... Telekenisis and telepathy, in all it's forms. The two of those together can do anything! Plus she's immortal. That's always a plus. Really the immortality factor is the most important to me. Of course, this would be a more interesting pole-thread if there were a limited...

Maybe so, but the opponet suffers 100% miss chance due to total cover. ExCellEnt.

I agree... it depends. Therefore it's a variable up to the GM. Looking at the spell level of arcane sight, I'd rule that it pinpoints the aura, but there's still a miss chance. Greater Arcane Sight I'd give the additional benifit of negating the miss chance, once again based on the level of the...

There have been a lot of good ideas here. Effective ranged? That's easy. Almost ANY ranged weapon is hyper effective in large groups, and the Gobs are small so they're all an additional +1 to hit. I notice a lot of people meantioning rogue (which can be great). I was thinking you wanted no PC...

I say it depends a lot on your character... really, what would he do? Most probably he wouldn't kill his friend. But what's the relationship between the two of you?

Apparently evil clerics cannot cast good spells... but for anyone else good spells are fair game. Depends on why they do it. If they do it selfishly and for personal gain, no, they're not good acts. I can do a number of "good" acts in the cause of evil. If the end result (or even the...

I'm also an autobot. No, wait! Wrong forum... (Heheh)
