I'm disappointed. While I think KarinsDad may've gone over the top just a tad in post #14 and #23, I've seen much worse from other posters with nary a word from the moderators. I want KarinsDad to know that I view his posts as being "borderline". And in order to contribute to the actual...

I agree as well. If the cleric were attempting to harm the fighter (inflict light wounds, for instance), then the cleric is armed and the AoO doesn't apply. However, the cleric is clearly not aiming for the fighter (I'm assuming the fighter can tell this quite easily, since the cleric is bent...

I would rule that the cleric was "attacking" into your square so, yes, there is an AoO: he's trying to get past your guard in order to perform an action in your square.

Well, I didn't go into all of the details on that scenario. There are other possibilities, including one of the middle creatures delaying into the middle of the following round. In summary, it's important to note the initiative of when the spell was cast and use that as the terminating point...

Actually, it's more tricky than that. Figure three creatures at init 20, 15, and 10. The first creature casts a spell that lasts 2 rounds, ie. until the creature's turn two rounds in the future. When init 20 comes around again in the second round, the spellcaster delays until init 5, then...

In general I don't like in-game spells or effects that affect the metagame. So I'd say "no". The only way to increase caster level is to go up a level. Unfortunately, this isn't the case with a certain ioun stone and with the bead of karma. I allow those to work as stated in the book, but...

Well, Henry, it sounds like everyone has chimed in; the last post was almost two days ago. If you're a newb, you'll want as much of a hand-holding environment as possible. Generally, I've found that this means you do not want The Latest and Greatest, because it hasn't settled down yet. If...

"The light-speed bucket", eh? I hadn't heard that, but it certainly seems apropos. I think I agree with the imposition of simultaneity. During a single round, the wand can only be used a single time because the action occurs at the same time as other actions. It feels ... "arbitrary" ...

Exactly. But the specification of "60-ft cube/level" almost sounds like the spellcaster gets eleven (11) 60-ft cubes (at the minimum caster level of 11th) and can place them as desired. The text in the SRD says no dimension can be less than 10 feet, but doesn't say that an area with a larger...

Suppose a spellcaster uses a wand of fireball. Another spellcaster standing adjacent grabs the wand (which was voluntarily given by the first caster) and uses the wand again. This continues down a row of spellcasters. Is this legal? I can find nothing that says a wand may be used only once...

I had an NPC spellcaster use forbiddance to protect his study chambers. The spell was cast twice, once in the shape of a letter "S" and again in the shape of an inverted "S", interlocked with the first one. The positioning of the two spells changed each time the NPC cast them. A stranger...

I'm also a fan of DMGenie. But I have to warn the prospective customer: you'll need at least 1024x768, and 1280x1024 is better. There is a huge amount of information being maintained by this program and the screen real estate is very important. It does make interesting use of that real...

Greylock, you sound like a great player. :) While I appreciate the challenge of building a powerful character, I also appreciate the challenge of ROLE-PLAYING a CHALLENGED character even more. ;) Now, now. Don't disparage a DM who is afraid to unbalance the game by allowing the players to...

Except that the Search roll is supposed to be done by the DM and the result hidden from the player. Or don't you play it that way? At the beginning of each game session, I have the players roll a d20 up to four times and I record the result of each one. When I need a secret roll, I choose one...

I was actually toying with the idea that silence needed to be nerfed. Now I'm sure. ;) I think there's too much being read into the description of the spell. If the fireball spell had the same Saving Throw line, would the SR creature get to roll its resistance? I think I'd go with "yes"...

I had to smile when I read andargor's post. And I was already smiling pretty hard reading some of these other posts. Why do you people put up with such a shoddy operating system!? I mean, I can understand the sentiment that, "it's what I'm used to", but if you were used to your car being...

Your wish is my command. ;) I started working on an open source Java-based mapping program, specifically designed to work with a two-screen system with one of them being either a projector or a large flat-screen TV (in other words, a device that can display a large, flat image so that figures...

Openings at the table... *Bump* Looking for players again; I thought we had enough, but now a couple of them look like they'll be dropping out. :(

Well, and why not use the ray to generate the cone, then take a 5-ft step into the area? ;)

Don't get me wrong: I applaud any and all attempts to enter the computer RPG/GM market, as the more tools that exist, the better the options will be. :) And Anurien's comment that the company has made contingency plans to open source the code should the company fold... (that's a heavy sigh of...
