What sounds do spells make? Yeah, I know there are verbal components, but what about after? Does mage armor or shield humm? Or spark when it gets hit? Fireball probably sounds like a fireball. Lightning bolt probably comes with thunder. Blaphemy, dictem, holy/unholy word are probably _real_...

Who is this Boolian guy and is he a buddy of Occam? <JK> Stealing that. Thanks. Why not just put it around the corner, 30' away? The magic can't go around corners, first one that goes around, saves. If it suceeds, everybody backs up and figures out how to disable it. If they don't, it could...

Not on the target. That goes until the target dies. What about the caster? You have a buddy with heal and a 100+ hit points. You cast on that person 3 times, and you now have 100+ hp. They do heal and their full up. Is there an upper limit I am missing? Or, how do you play it? Max of double...

Oh, that was sooo good. Yes, identical oozes, less hit points, same to hit. W/blindsight, very dangerous. Use sparingly.

Thanks. Duh. Still doesn't explain the others though.

Making a staff is fun and helpful to a character. But... According to the formula in the DMG: Caster level x spell level x 375 = cost of first spell Caster level x spell level x 281.25 = cost of second spell Caster level x spell level x 187.5 = cost of third & subsequent spells Minimum...

Specifically, Clairvoyance. Go read the spell, pg 209-210 of the Players, I'll wait. Thanks. Now, how exactly are you able to see in 'naturally pitch black'? The spell does not allow funky powers to work through it. But, if you cast the spells to the ocean's depth or the bottom of a mine, you...

So you had a bad year. That half fiend giant basilsk just wouldn't die. You got all boosty, bear's, bull's, vestment, etc, and you ended up petrified. Now, it's several months later (hey, you're buddies were busy with the rest of the dungeon. And you're heavy to haul out) And they've done the...

So, the monster has spell like abilities. When you up the HD, upping the CR, how much do you up the caster level? One for one? By HD or CR? For example, a guardian naga, 10 HD, 9th level caster, CR 10. (Forgive me if it is not exact, don't have the books with me) It's an abberrition (sp) so...

Whenever I had a dragon I always had a dragon slaying sword in the treasure. Made sense that people would go in there with them and...fail. Then the dragon is too greedy to destroy it. Thanks. Golems are not adamantium weapons. But Gulgars are :) (Monster Manual III, earth elemental humanoids...

You need adamantite weapons to hit them. Are they considered adamantite weapons? My players are using stoneskin and are about to meet some. Thanks. More later, Vahktang

Isn't there a GP cost to each casting? Is your spell caster that rich? I figure undead gather together in groups, wandering around, stop, wander, attack stuff until they get destroyed. Hence the 'wandering monster' thing. :)

So ignore the first paragraph? Then why is it there mentioning to start with a hit, not a touch? Sorry for being so dense, but it bothers me. I want to do thing right. And I remember grapple being so difficult and so rarely used way back in first. Are they continuing that tradition, or did they...

So, _start_ with a melee hit, _then_ the touch attack (AoO as necessary) Right? More later, Keith

Page 156 of the Players: The first paragraph of the Starting a Grapple Section: "Starting a grapple requires a successfull melee attack roll." I've always done it: Step 1: Attack of Opportunity Step 2: Grab (or melee touch attack, this where we would start) Have I been doing it wrong? Funny...

Lich sends minions to get the good guys to drop spells and find out their tactics, using scrying on the minions to find out what is happening. Good for: "why the heck is that ghoul doing a running commentary on what's happening in this fight?" Then, being a cleric, spell immunity to the...

Well, my heroes are getting into that rarefied atmosphere where I have to advance the monsters to be competitive. When I add Challenge Ratings (HD, saves, skills, etc) does the caster level of the monster increase also? Or I do I have to add an associtive level (MM pg 294)? And would that be a...

Deflect arrows is for the bad guys. To take when you got an super archer on the hero team. "He grabs the bane arrow out of the air and snaps it in two." Tried it out on a monk Vampire and it worked great. I don't like sleeping in pajamas. And I'm supposed to get a full, good night's rest with...

So, our heroes next week will encounter a beholder. I remember way back that only, like D4 random eye stalks could be used to one side. What is it now a days? Since there is no facing, can the critter use all his eye stalks all around at once? Have the Anti magic eye in front and shoot with the...

Automatically gets damaged? Or an AOO on the weapon? 'sides, even if you do do opposed rolls, the sunderer still gets +4 on his to hit. He has a better chance to sunder than to hit normal. Comments? More later, Vahktang
