    Ok, no one said they were using the ELH to come up with that figure.

    Spot checks and illusions

    You don't get a spot check to notice if it's an illusion. If you don't interact with it, then you think it's real. If you interact with it, then you roll a will save to notice if it's not real.

    Character suggestions for a solo campaign

    I ran Wizard's Amulet and Crucible of Freya as a solo adventure when I first started DMing. It was rather difficult to keep everything together in the final battle, but I managed it. I have a detailed spoiler review of it in the reviews section if you want her to read it. For solo character...

    Grappling with a Flaming Sphere, a burning Web & a trapped Brown Bear?

    With Entangle, you make a full round action to break free and move half normal speed. Do the same for Web.

    Grappling with a Flaming Sphere, a burning Web & a trapped Brown Bear?

    I suggest reviewing the spell description of entangle to clarify how to break free from the spell effect. It says: To me, this is more clear. As far as fire damage is concerned, I never stated that fire from different sources wouldn't do extra damage. Neither does the web spell.

    Grappling with a Flaming Sphere, a burning Web & a trapped Brown Bear?

    Obviously, that should be read as 2d4 damage per creature, not square. The exact wording in the spell Web says, "All creatures within flaming webs take 2d4 points of fire damage from the flames."

    Shadow Evoking A Resiliant Sphere

    So how has he used Shadow Evocation so far? My wizard got it recently as well and I'm always open to suggestions :) So far I've only used it for Explosive Cascade (Magic of Faerun) since we were battling vampires and mummies.

    Grappling with a Flaming Sphere, a burning Web & a trapped Brown Bear?

    No, that wasn't my argument. I was assuming that a flaming sphere streaking through squares would not do significant damage to completely clear several 5' squares of webbing. Instead, it needed to end its turn on a webbed sphere to give it time to burn the webs away. I make this assumption...

    Telekinesis - violent thrust

    Well, according to this PrC, Fling Skyward is its final ability at 5th level, which allows you to fling a creature or creatures upward without specifying a target. This leads me to believe that the original intent of Telekinesis would not allow you to do the same normally, or else this ability...

    Telekinesis - violent thrust

    Well, no, if they hit a wall, they take 1d6 damage as if they fell 10 feet. And the spell says "toward any target," which leads me to believe that a square could be a target.

    Telekinesis - violent thrust

    Using violent thrust allows you, for instance, to hurl a not-too-heavy creature up to 10 feet/level. Could a 10th level caster use it to hurl a creature straight up 100 feet, thus making it take 10d6 falling damage (assuming enough vertical space in the room)?

    Is power attack too powerful?

    I didn't even know that was there. I don't remember seeing people talk about it on the forums, either. I see that the two personal range potions from 3.0 (speak with animals and alter self) have been removed in 3.5.

    Is power attack too powerful?

    What about the Brew Potion feat in 3.5 are you referring?

    Grappling with a Flaming Sphere, a burning Web & a trapped Brown Bear?

    You can't burn away 6 squares of webbing just by moving the flaming sphere 30'. The flaming sphere will only do damage to whatever space it sits in after it has moved. Otherwise, it becomes a malleable lightning bolt, doing 2d6 damage to everyone in its path by choice of the wizard.

    Is power attack too powerful?

    It's also available as a 1st level domain spell for a cleric with the Time domain (Forgotten Realms). I have a cleric of Grumbar with the Metal and Time domains and it has been quite useful in combination with Power Attack. Since the 2nd level domain spell is Gentle Repose (and Metal's is Heat...
