    Drinking a potion and AoO?

    ... and maybe even take the potion (if you are lucky)

    NC, Raleigh area: Seeking players for D&D 3E

    Hello, I am looking for players for a new D&D campaign. I want this campaign to use the new 3.5 rules, with a few exceptions. We live in the Cary area, close to the Crossroads. We are a couple in our late 20s, and we are looking for players in their early 20s or older. Ideally, we are...

    Blade barrier - I don't get it...

    I actually agree with Hypersmurf's interpretation. I think that when you see a horribly worded spell like this one and you try to analyze the wording of the spell for clues as to how it *should* work, that you also should strongly consider whether the interpretation you come up with fits in...

    Monks with 2 Monk Weapons

    The answer is definitely #2. You can use your unarmed BAB and more favorable attack rate all the time, as long as you are not weilding a non-monk weapon. Enkhidu and Hypersmurf are both right. If you are NOT using flurry of blows with two monk weapons, you can mix and match attacks however...

    Drawing a weapon-AoO or not?

    Think of it this way: Drawing a weapon is just pulling it out of its scabbard, sheath, unhooking it, etc. In most cases, you would be familiar enough with where it is on your body to do this by touch, without looking down. Now, putting a weapon away (as opposed to just dropping it) is a...

    Mystic Theurgist [Feat]

    I agree with DreamChaser, but I don't like the idea of getting +CL from non-spellcasting classes. If you want to increase your CL you should have to take a spellcasting class. Otherwise, the non-spellcasting classes have an extra benefit. The +CL should only affect caster level checks and...

    Empowered Fire Seeds

    I can see two intrepretations: (1) The variable, numeric effect of cure light wounds is the damage healed. It doesn't matter that the amount healed is a constant plus a variable range, you calculate the normal amount of HP healed, and then multiply it by 1.5. (2) Each component of the damage...

    Spring attack & charge?

    I believe the answer is no. When you charge, all movement for the entire round has to be in one direction, on a straight line, and must come before the attack. Edit: Quote from the SRD: "The character must move before attacking, not after. The character must move at least 10 feet and may move...

    Akutenshi Ability

    Right. Undead with no Con score use Cha instead of Con for everything, except for: 1. Fortitude saves 2. HP adjustments for which their Con modifier is treated as +0.

    Need help with darkness/invis in combat

    Actually, this is exactly what a wilding clasp is for, from Masters of the Wild. It prevents the item it's attached to from melding into your new form so its effects still function when you're polymorphed . So all you have to do is slap a wilding clasp on your amulet, and voila, it's...

    Need help with darkness/invis in combat

    I would say that observing the size of the circle and being able to locate the center point would help you determine which square to aim into, but it should not be allowed to reduce the miss chance due to concealment. I know what you mean -- if the darkness is a 20' radius, you should be able...

    How many attacks?

    Well, Jontherev was right, I think. You can keep piling on the feats, but the penalties really start to add up. You can even add an 8th attack to the above if you take Lightning Fists as a feat. So a 20th level monk would get 8 attacks, all at -7 (-5 for LF, -2 for RS): or...

    Can incorporeal creatures be disintegrated?

    Demon, you're fine, it's your sign that's disintegrated. :D If disintegrate is targeted at an object you carry, it gets your save, but if you fail with a natural 1, only the sign is disintegrated. If disintegrate targets YOU and you fail with a natural 1, you take damage and one of your items...

    Can incorporeal creatures be disintegrated?

    The sign is an attended object, so it should get Demon Knight's Fort save, right?

    How many attacks?

    I admit I was confused myself by this after LokiDR's last post. But I was looking through the D&D FAQ for something else and found answers to most of our questions in the Monk section. Here are three of the answers: "There’s no such thing as a monk making an off-hand unarmed attack, because...

    Can incorporeal creatures be disintegrated?

    Doh, thanks for the correction Auraseer. I missed that little blurb in the FAQ about "...except for Fortitude saves" So I'll revise my statement: Wraiths have the same rights as any other creature -- they get a Fort save just like everything else. And if you consider Disintegration to...

    Can incorporeal creatures be disintegrated?

    Wraiths have the same rights as any other creature -- they get a Fort save just like everything else (using their Charisma modifier instead of Constitution since they don't have a Con score)

    Can incorporeal creatures be disintegrated?

    I'm not sure why it matters what the incorporeal creature is made of... Disintegrate says: "A thin, green ray springs from the character's pointing finger, causing the creature or object it strikes to glow and vanish, leaving behind only a trace of fine dust." It spefically mentions in the...

    Can incorporeal creatures be disintegrated?

    If you intrepret disintegrate as actually splitting up and scattering the atoms and energy of the target, I think you could possibly argue that this would be a force effect (even though it does not say so) and thus an incorporeal undead like a wraith or spectre would not get the 50% miss chance...
