    Runestaff via UMD?

    That you actually said this in an apparently serious manner means you do not understand the matter and I will no longer place any weight on your arguments. Because, you know, that directly contradicts the rules.

    Runestaff via UMD?

    from your earlier post- You clearly identified Use Wand with Emulate Class Ability, when they are different aspects of the skill. ECA is harder to use since you need a higher result ie a 21 to imitate a 1st level cleric's turn undead ability. I'd need a result that has a net CL high enough to...

    Runestaff via UMD?

    Explain why there is a separate entry for Use Wand if Emulate Class Feature does the same thing in your interpretation.

    Runestaff via UMD?

    The SRD leaves out the examples in the 3.5 rulebook that contradict your interpretation.

    Runestaff via UMD?

    Do you have a published document from WOTC saying that example is in error? I have looked at the FAQ and the 3.5 PHB errata and neither changes text under UMD. The example in the 3.5 PHB says Lidda emulates having TU to use a chalice that turns water into holy water via positive energy. The...

    Runestaff via UMD?

    Can a character, in my case a Rogue, activate a Runestaff via UMD? A Runestaff normally requires the sacrifice of a spell slot, but the example in the PHB has Lidda using a chalice as if she spent a turn undead attempt. Thanks

    Multi-Classing, got a favorite way to mix it up?

    My current character is a rogue 11/ ftr 4 and is just destroying enemy's left and right in melee. Previous char was a Wiz12/ParagnosticApostle4 and was killing so much I pissed off the fighter's player. Ironically, I started him out as a battlefield control/debuffer and didn't cast a damaging...

    With FB enabled, take a hard look at Primeval. Neanderthal Bar8/Prim10/Warshaper2 I like Dire Ape as my Primeval Form, since it retains a humanoid shape and gives you rend if both claws hit (+50/+50 for d8+31 + rend 2d8+62; Bite +48 d8+15) Endurance, Self Sufficient, Improved Toughness...

    touch attacks and rays

    Mirror Image will cause you problems. When I had my wizard high enough he had a contingent Ray Deflection up all the time (FU Enervation!) Never had it kick in though. Ocular Spell (Lords of Madness) can convert non-ray spells into ranged touch attack spells Split Ray Enervation was one of my...

    AD&D 2E [2E][THAC0's Hammer] Episode 12 - Ogre Magi!

    I played a Ogre Magi Wizard Thief from the 2e Humanoids Handbook. He had a +3 oversized No-Dachi that did something like 2d20 to large creatures. He flew invisibly and backstabbed a giant, rolling two '20's and did 163 damage! He also had a +1 Life Stealer. The only target I ever rolled a 20 on...

    Weapon with spell storing ability question

    Or you could buy the Relic in MIC that does the same thing, Raptor Arrow p 56. PS- I said putting Returning on shuriken is a waste of money because they will be destroyed when they hit, and half the time when they miss. Due to the exponential nature of pricing magic weapons, you can get 4x as...

    Weapon with spell storing ability question

    Putting Returning on ammunition is a waste of money since ammo is destroyed on a hit, and 50% on a miss. Pg 140, PHB, Critical Hit 'sidebar' at bottom of page: Exception: Extra damage over and above a weapon's normal damage, such as that dealt be sneak attack or the special ability of a...

    Weapon with spell storing ability question

    The line I quoted came from the SRD quote in post #6. Aside from the fact that the Spell Storing ability is limited to melee weapons in both the DMG and the MIC, arrows aren't a weapon you wield. The bow is what you wield, and shoot arrows with it. Once the arrow is fired you aren't...

    Weapon with spell storing ability question

    It is not on the Ranged Weapon Special Abilities table, pg 223 DMG. It is not on the Ranged Weapon Properties table pg 241 MIC. Also, read this line closely Any time the weapon strikes a creature and the creature takes damage from it, the weapon can immediately cast the spell on that creature...

    Weapon with spell storing ability question

    When used this way the spell damage is bonus dice and would never be multiplied. Spell Storing is a melee weapon only option. You can put in on a dagger, but if you throw it you cannot discharge the spell energy. You have to be holding (weilding) the weapon when it strikes the enemy to trigger...

    20ft wide whirling dervish of death?

    Leap Attack and a Valorous weapon :D. Triple Damage on the charge. I also like Mad Foam Rager, but Extra Rage or Extended Rage are good depending on how far you take Barb, such as Ftr 6.Barb 4, Prc X.
