If you were inclined to let this be a valid tactic, I believe the breakdown would be: Fighter takes X damage. First spell on fighter: X is divided by two, cleric A takes X/2, fighter takes X/2. Second spell on figher: X/2 is divided by two, fighter takes X/4, cleric B takes X/4. Spell on...

How do you know there's an invisible character nearby ? Why should you get a check for that and not for silence?

Because no one has ever uttered the phrase "Its quiet....Too Quiet...". But again, put some scale to what you said. 15. Foot. Radius. Thats big enough to fill most rooms you'd be in. If you get a skillcheck to notice someone being Invisible, you should get one for noticing something silenced...

Nope :D Also, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! I'd say there situations that would require arbitration and or something worked out for them. Honestly I've not ran these games much with the hide + MS combined to run into any problems yet. Ok so I think silence is a good point...

Surprised this hasnt been shunted to the house rules forum yet. I've combined them in my campaign ( Stealth and Awareness ). No real valid reason to keep them apart. (kind of like how there's no more intuit direction imho). Also shifted/combined a few other things around to try and have an...

Patents. And there is plenty of compensation. Basically the Govt is saying "You can have exclusive rights for X years, then its free for all." That copyright protection for X years is the compensation. If you fail to do anything with it then, tough cookie. Personally I think copyright lasts...

Isn't that more of a "You dont have enough of a balance to cover the amount of this check in case it bounces, so we have to wait for it to clear." Except that nowadays dont checks clear pretty insta-matically? Of course banks would/are? still do the "up to a week to clear" which is really a...

I agree, had I any other place to get the document I would have. Half a day of internet searching was fruitless so...We bought it, printed it, and immediately made another copy. :D Of course once we're all running on Trusted Computing(or some variant), and can only print and copy with Trusted...

IIRC as beholders are described in LoM + MM, they basically have a massive superiority complex, view every other being alive as inferior, and can back it all up. Imho an "investigative" beholder would start pummelling them with charm monster, charm person, and slow immediately. It would not...

Such a thing is already well implemented. Example: I needed to buy the EIA-608 closed caption specifications for work. 160$$ pdf. Required a specific plugin for adobe acrobat from the company that sells these standards. Authorizes the one(1) computer that you open the file on. Thats it. Cannot...

The roper does not grapple or pin, therefore FoM should not apply to escaping its grip. However, FoM does let you move normally(Anyway, nothing in the Ropers description says you cant simply move away from it). So roper drags you 10 feet, move away from it 10 feet. As they say on the interwebs...

I've done this in my game. Spot and Listen are combined, and hide and move silently are combined. It just makes more sense to me personally.

It does , my bad. Although I'd be swayed by a player arguing that in the context its more of a "Slipping poison into the evil king's wine" not "Putting poison on my blade to more effectively slay my enemies". Whats the difference between a poisoned blade and a flaming shocking blade? It's a...

I see nothing in the Assassin PrC that would require being evil. Its not like paladins don't already kill people. Or can't use sneak attack damage. Or cast arcane spells. And poison isnt evil (although I think that was debated in the general forum recently ? ). Also remember: A paladin may...

So I'm assuming the investigative work on the PC's part is to figure out that the cultists they're after are posing as Denier worshippers, which are quite easy to find. Think of what it is these cultists are doing and what kind of impact/trail they would be leaving in the town. So as an...

Would the encounter be significantly easier if ran correctly, or is there some particular hook like "once all the images are gone, bad guy X flees unseen" ?

Mirror Image says images seem to react to area spells, which glitterdust is. Would not any cleverly-shaped area effect spell be a valid way to discern which is a figment and which is real?

So if the attacker shuts their eyes, are the images non-existent and disappear, or do they have no effect on the attacker? "Hey you in the back, close your eyes so this guys' spell stops working!" If the attacker has See Invisibilty, are you effectively invisible to them or not? I would argue...
