Then again it could be said that the bonus to hit is the magical piercing of the arrow (ie Plate mail isn't as effective since the arrow magically penetrates when a normal arrow would bounce off the armor).

Well when I was a dM we almost saw someone drown (the party tought of something at the last second that saved him). The PCs were in a swamp (they were setup- long story), that just happened to be the home of a rather large Black Dragon. The party was attacked (deeper darkness on a log thrown...

Agreed. Freedom of Movement doesn't protect against petrification. You can't move because your stone, not because your held in any way. Casting FoM on a statue doesn't make it a living thing, same thing applies here. After being petrified you are no longer alive, you are a piece of rock. Period...

Sure it is. PHB p47 "Basically, any time the rogue's target would be denied his bonus to AC, or when the rogue flanks the target, the rogue deals extra damage." The important words there are "any time". Just ask yourself before each attacks if you meet the requirements (the answer should be...

Technically the spell is gone, just like any other spell. If you cast dispel magic on say a Polymorph Other, it doesn't come back in 1d4 rounds (it also has a permanent duration). Theres certainly nothing wrong with having it supressed, but it just means that every wizard able to cast those...

Ummmm.... Mind Blast basically kills whoever it hits. There is no cure for stunning in the Core rules (or any offical rules that I know of). Once your stunned, your done for a while. Might as well get something to drink and have someone page you when you get to play again. Now imagine your...

10 hour sessions for 2 years?! Wow, somethings definately wrong there. Unless these 10 hour sessions involved 5 hours of screwing off, but then again our 6 hour sessions involve about 2 hours of not playing in most cases.

MM p6 Undead "An undead spell caster uses its Charisma modifier when making Concentration checks." So he'll proably make it as easy as anyone else (easier actually since they get a Cha bonus). Moreso if he was a sorceror in life.

Re: and it's NOT imp inv I think they called it the One Ring. I think a ring of Imp Invis is almost in the minor artifact range myself, but with detections and the like its not too big a deal at higher levels (unless you fight say giants or other non-casters alot).

I have to disagree with fly. While a great spell, its better served by using scrolls/potions. You get so few 3rd level spells that fly probably isn't a good pick (though making the whole party fly has its uses). Generally speaking, ask yourself "Do I want to cast this spell over and over again?"...

You lost me here. Its like a shield, so it should stack. Or are you saying that a character with mage armor up gets no benefit from shields? ie My fighter/mage has mage armor and a large shield +1 but gets no benefit from the shield for some reason. Seems to me that it should grant a bonus to...

Meaning it wouldn't go off until the beginning of your next round (just to clarify).

PHB p153 "Stacking Effects: Spells that give bonuses or penalites to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, and other attributes usually do not stack with themselves. For example, two bless spells don't give recipients twice the benefits of one bless.... more generally, two bonuses of the...

The boots are one of the best items in the game. Sure the first round you use them you "lose" out on a standard action, but then you get it right back again in the partial from haste. Its really no different than a mage casting haste, so I guess I miss where you think this is bad. Once you...

It is in a forum thats about rules questions. There is a growing tendency for people to ask if something can be done, and then when told "no" and having the rules quoted the response is usually "Well I think it shouldn't be that way." People are more than welcome to do what they want in thier...

Personally we just beat the living p*ss out of it and drop an alchemists fire on it. 1d6 real damage/ round will kill it. Usually they don't get up, but if they do just knock them down again (they have at best 5 hps and are prone while burning). Multiple alch fires do the trick if you can't...

Stick with spells that don't become redundant (ie a higher level spell has the same effect that you will probbly take anyway). Otherwise just think of spells that are good to cast lots and lots of times and avoid specialty spells. Magic missle, Acid arrow, (possibly) haste, fireball, whatever...

Wielding spellfire requires the feat Spellfire Wielder from Magic of Faerun. It also requires DM approval. Silverfire is a benefit of being a Chosen of Mystra, not something you can use a feat for.

Add my vote to this category.

In all honestly I don't know where I was going with the first part of it. I really should have editted the first section out and just left the second. Sorry for the moment of stupidity (though it DOES bug me that people always try to read in things in the rules).
