    Can Undead Rage?

    Technically it doesn't say no, but raging seems to be an emotional thing (ala the spell emotion as an example, as well as every other sort of non-Barbarian rage). You could say they are channelling thier hatred of the living or something similar and it would be sensible. Overall Undead don't...

    ShadowDale question

    The Zhents could probably win in an all out assault, though the Big E would easily escape them and come back with reinforcements and reclaim the area. The bigger problem would be it might just be the sort of mistake the Shades have been waiting for- the Zhents all out attack the Dale, Shade...

    I can't miss!

    critique Remove Stun spell please

    Good idea since NOTHING in the game fixes stunning (a major oversight for anyone whos ever been stunned). I don't even think Heal fixes it. Still not many things stun, so maybe it was meant to be that way.

    Sneak Attack Question

    Because the troll was flatfooted (he lost initiative to her). She went first and sneak attacked him. As far as hiding in the ogre example- No sneak attack if the ogre detects the rogue- hes not hidden if you get sneak attacks on him. Though he could shoot, say a crossbow, and get a sneak attack...

    PCs are supposed to be able to stand up to deities?

    Re: Why I hate god-slaying *Dons the grumpy old man role from SNL* In my day we didn't fight dragons, we fought gods. They rained fire from the heavens and killed us with a touch! Thats the way it was and we liked it, We loved it! We'd lose a point of Constitution getting raised and then we'd...

    Summoned monsters summoning

    Yep, its to keep a single demon/devil from summoning an army at an exponential rate and taking over the Prime Material. Its allows devils/demons to be in the world without being able to singlehandedly destroy it. It also keeps summoners within power (how do you rate the CR of something than can...

    Flame Arrow smack?

    Obviously you've never been the archer in the party! That extra damage makes a huge difference over time, not to mention it helps wear down trolls and the like. I love our party mage's fire arrows- instead of 1d8+4 I do 1d8+9 (I'm a cleric so I don't have any bow feats). Fire a couple a round...

    Sooo how does this work?

    Its just keeping with the whole "Its always been a 4th level spell" thing. Look at magic missle, its easily a 2nd level spell, but when they tried to change it to have an attack roll or make it 2nd level, the playtester complained and they changed it back. Every spell in the books that existed...

    Shapechange and Antimagic Field

    According to the spell description your arm would reappear if you tried to say claw someone in an AMF while shapechanged into a dragon since the AMF "supresses magic brought into it". Basically you would swing, but your attack would fall very short (since your arm isn't long enough to reach...

    FAST HELP NEEDED! Barbarian fast movement plus dwarf or med armour

    Re: armor & movement +10 for barbarian- thus a barb dwarf has 25' movement in medium armor. A human barb in medium armor moves 30'. Maybe I'm missing why this is a question, just read the barbarian fast move ability.

    What AC is good for ~14th level?

    Your ACs are about right, maybe a little higher end, but normal for that level. Depends how hard you work at it, if you spend time and XP making/buying great armor and shields you'll have a great AC. Most players tend to go offensively and spend time and money on weapons and other offensive...

    Vampires

    As near as I can tell they continue to take damage from what few things can hurt them (mostly magic missles in my experience. They cant ever really be killed by damage so its not really all that relevant. They are still conscious. If I recall they have a time limit, but otherwise aren't...

    How many Free Actions per round?

    No limit unless the free action says there is (ie quickened spells and the like). If you limit them then high level archers get a bit of a shaft as do throwing characters. As a rule, spell like abilities get one shot a round, as do any other abilities that could create a unless loop of actions...

    Grapple, Break Another's Pin, GameStoppers?

    Logically it makes sense, the big Barbarian grabs pulls the limbs off the rogue and pulls her out of the grapple. I can see it, happens in real life fights all the time (a bunch of people pulling two brawlers apart), so it fits pretty well. It also helps weaker party members who get stuck in...

    PCs are supposed to be able to stand up to deities?

    Re: Re: Re: PCs are supposed to be able to stand up to deities? Actually its not in the PHB anywhere, trust me I've looked along with scores of others. It never says a 20 isnt an auto success (like with skills), but it also seems to go out of the way not to say that it is an auto save. Same...

    How to break lots of stones?

    Well think about it. 3 feet of hewn stone (like the side of a mountain). How on earth are you going to break it with pure force? Ram it with a semi-truck? I doubt that would destroy 3-freakin feet of solid stone. It would take an insane amount of force to break that stone in real life short of...

    Tarrasque question: Why is he invincible?

    Umm no. You can't CDG a troll, why should it work against the big T? As far as killing it, your not supposed to. It IS the godzilla of D&D and always has been. It takes alot to kill it (very high level PCs and multiple wishes), but it can in theory be done. As far as the CR, it is far too...

    Is a '1' an auto-failure for saving throws?

    Thats not my post. :P
