It's not a creature. It can't take an attack action. It can just be made to appear as though it is doing so.

Remember also that a beholder can't fire it's own eye beams into its anti-magic cone area. Sometimes it's really the safest place to be.

IMO, MD would be an excellent spell if it needed to be targetted at a single, specific item. Of course, then it's a less powerful spell than disintigrate...

Mike, Thanks for that quote. That's the way most people rule it in-game, anyway. However, for purposes of settling rules disputes, are the WotC Rules of the Game postings considered official additions to the rules?

Really? I thought flat-footed was a specific term to describe somebody who had not yet acted in combat. My first impulse would be to say that, if those feats/abilities say that they make somebody flat-footed, that it was an error, and they should have instead said that they deny the target...

I actually like landscape better in pdfs, because then the whole page fits on the screen at a magnification level I can comfortably read.

The "bag of marbles" trick. I treat them similar to caltrops. Each bag effectively covers a 5' square. Creatures must make a Balance check DC 10 or fall prone if they enter the square, unless they are taking a 5' step. Full round action to clear away enough marbles to make the square safe to...

The rules are exceptionally clear on this subject. They just don't make logical sense. SRD: First: An illusion does not threaten an area. Second: An illusion is not a character or creature. The problem is that whether or not a creature is flanked has absolutely nothing to do with the...

ST, you're arguing using a lot of hypothetical examples and few specific examples. This leads me to believe that you've never actually played at 12th level with core rules wealth levels. If I am correct, then you really shouldn't be arguing the point so forcefully.

The only thing "wrong" with the situation is attacking a druid in the middle of a forest.

I'm hoping it will all work out in the end. He rolled really well at character creation, so his stats total to 15 points higher than the next best character. The other characters in the party are a paladin (lousy at dealing lots of damage, not a min-maxer at all), a ranger (right up there in the...

Haven't played games other than D&D. But it wouldn't surprise me if there's some influence from other games in there. I stole a lot of the ideas from somebody on the Kenzer boards, and modified them from there. Who knows what games they played, or where they stole the ideas from originally.

I kind of like the multiverse setup I have for my Kalamar game. It's homebrew - officially Kalamar uses the same setup as the rest of the D&D universe. Kind of a long read, but this is the basic setup I explained to my players: edit: The notion that Otherworld is different for different...

Sounds like you're pretty attached to your character's kewl toys.

I have a broken PC in the campaign I'm running right now. He's a 5th level fighter, but he's twinked out as an archer. All core stuff. He does 1d8+6+1d6 damage with every hit, and usually Rapid Shots and hits twice. His attack bonuses are insane. Nobody else in the party can even come close to...

I can't provide a SRD quote because the relevent data is in a table. In fact, the relevent data is in the footnote of a table. From the SRD, Combat II (Movement, modifiers, and special actions): From the table for Attack Roll Modifiers: If the attacker is Invisible, he gains a +2 to hit...

So you're saying that you're right and the book is wrong? Care to back that up?

These are the prices for purchasing scrolls and scribing the spells into your own spellbook. You would have to gain DM permission to assume you can find another wizard willing to let you look at their spellbook - their willingness to do so could vary greatly from campaign to campaign. I think...

And don't think people haven't bitched about it. Loudly. And frequently. And created house rules to compensate.

Don't forget the cost for scribing them into your spellbook. Revised prices for starting with additional spells in your spellbook: 0th: 112.5gp (starting wizards get all PHB cantrips for free) 1st: 125gp 2nd: 350gp 3rd: 675gp 4th: 1100gp 5th: 1625gp 6th: 2250gp
