You left out half of the rule posted in the 3.5 SRD. It still specifically says "when making a melee attack" All you posted was this much: "When in doubt about whether two friendly characters flank an opponent in the middle, trace an imaginary line between the two friendly characters’...

When we played with "Knockdown" we allowed the fact that if you failed the trip, the defender could indeed attempt to trip you. We also did not allow the use of weapons that don't allow for trip attacks to be used in combination with Knockdown. Without these two restrictions, Knockdown simply...

Except that activating a scroll is always at least a Standard Action, which trumps the spell casting time. So you can't have Quickened Scrolls. (technically you could WRITE a quickened scroll, but it would still take a Standard Action to activate it).

Since a stack of 50 arrows or bolts essentially counts as one magic item, I believe that when you utter the command word - all 50 of them would be activated at once. Of course, this interpretation automatically means you must have a quiver that doesn't get damaged by them...

By the rules, water simply does not damage a Fire Elemental. "Water" generally speaking - does not do damage in the D&D world. That's why there are no "Watery" magical properties you can place on weapons which do an extra 1d6 "Water" damage. Water is simply not a harmful element, just like...

Our group basically assumes that the elemental abilities of the weapons are always on... unless it is specificially said otherwise. If they WERE intentionally disabled though, I would require the standard action to turn them back on.

I think I'm missing the joke you're poking at me here lol... What's wrong with Shilellagh and what I said earlier? You can't cast Shilellagh on a magical club... I'm confused :) [edit] Oh I think I understand, you're saying that as soon as you cast Shilellagh, the club instantly becomes an...

Well, by the rules, I don't see how it is possible. As soon as the magical item's powers are no longer suppressed, then it is no longer a valid target for Polymorph, and the spell should immediately cease functioning on it. I'd be careful letting him do this. I'd only allow one type of armor...

Technically speaking by the rules, Armor spikes really only come into play when you are grappling someone. But once you get to the point where you're THROWING gnomes around, there's not a whole lot stopping you from just taking another baby step forward.

I LOVE the Trident / Net idea that was brought up earlier. Great concept for a Gladiator fighter. I think just for FLAVOR, you should definitely go Sword /Shield, and stick with medium armor. Your AC won't be optimal, but how many Gladiators walk around in Full Plate? Have a Flail and Net...

No, I'd say both of those are wrong, because the text of the spell specifies that if the Flaming Sphere needs to be within range, or it winks out. Both Teleporting and a Plane Shift would cause that to happen. In addition, I am sure that there are separate rules I'm not aware of that prevent...

Eh, I'm still not really sold on the issue. I'd argue that creating a new effect is entirely different than directing an already existing one. Flaming Sphere says nothing in its spell description about what happens if Line of Effect between you and the sphere is obstructed. Since I don't...

Why not just take the existing spells in the pantheon, and make them do Fire damage instead? Instead of Ice Storm, you'd have Firestorm. Instead of Lightning Bolt, you could shoot out a jet of flame. Instead of Melf's Acid Arrow, it would be Melf's Flaming Arrow. There are a bunch of...

I don't see anything specifically written the Flaming Sphere spell description which says you need line of effect OR line of sight to redirect the sphere. Obviously you need it to CAST the sphere, but why can't you direct the sphere around corners? Since he's not casting Flaming Shere ON...

The Grackle said what I was trying to say better than I did :)

From the SRD - From the Coup de Grace rules, it is somewhat unclear. Does a touch attack count as a "melee weapon"? If it doesn't then Monks and various creatures are in trouble. They can't Coup de Grace at all. Since a spell is not a "melee weapon" in any sense, even a spell delivered...

Most likely he would have at least two or three methods to "escape" from his enemies and return to a safehouse, or his main lair. At 15th level, it is certainly possible that the wizard has an alternate safe-house he can get to if his main headquarters is comprimised. Also, with access to 8th...

Thanks a lot! I found a Rogue cloaked reaper mini with two swords... I modified it and completely severed one sword, and curved the other one a bit to make it appear more like a sickle. Unfortunately I couldn't find any weapon packs that had a sickle I could attach. On another note, here's a...

Wow, you guys completely rock, It's taking me hours, and I'm STILL going through pages marking cool minis to order. :) <3 U all!
