    Question regarding Evasion

    I agree, by the letter of the rules evasion should apply. I would simply ban the item in question if I was the DM (as its written). Its artifact-level in its ability to avoid dmg, it doesn't scale at all for the different types of attacks you're subject to, its just, gah, I would never allow...

    How to make 'being surrounded by enemy crossbowmen' deadlier?

    So the 12 crossbowmen have readied actions to shoot if any of the PC's draw a weapon. One of the PC's draws a weapon and all 12 shoot. I wouldn't feel out of sorts saying that the crossbowmen automatically threaten a crit in this situation. Really, there's no rules advantage for taking your...

    Help me understand dopplegangers

    Is this conjecture or from the PHB or RotG or ? Edit: Nevermind, found the relevant section of the phb: Succeeding on a Saving Throw: A creature that successfully saves against a spell that has no obvious physical effects feels a hostile force or a tingle, but cannot deduce the exact nature...

    Help me understand dopplegangers

    If an NPC the PC's meet for the first time is in fact a doppleganger, would they get any sort of sense motive/spot check to tell(assuming they have no previous knowledge of this npc)? What if they interact with him several times? When a doppleganger uses Detect Thoughts, should the PC's even...

    Improved Familiar req's

    Ok in a similar vein to the first question: Would a Shadow Asp(fiend folio) be a reasonable familiar to have with the improved familiar feat? Too powerful? Too weak? The only problem area I can see is the create spawn ability.

    Fear Spell, Wand Caster Level

    True, most(but not all!) sources of fear( fear aura, frightful presence) say you're immune for 24 hours if you successfully save. I think this is a multiple effects do not stack situation, and would say multiple castings of fear don't stack. But if you can get it from different spells then...

    Extradimensional Space in an Extradimensional Space, What Happens?

    Whatever the plot and DM think would be fun. A rip in the fabric of time ejecting evil twin versions of the party would be fun. Or shoot everyone to the astral plane. Or a moon. Or Inevitables appear. Or an explosion that makes the caster lose the ability to cast spells for awhile. Or when the...

    What happens when a necklace of fireballs detonates when worn?

    A bit harsh. A Necklace of Fireballs Type 1 is only 8d6 (5d6 + 3d6) total, avg of 24 dmg with no save isn't all that much suck.

    What happens when a necklace of fireballs detonates when worn?

    Given this definition its not unreasonable for ppl to assume you don't get a reflex save if you can't move(paralyzed, helpless,etc). Except its really more of a "did the fireball hit me?" not "did I get out of the way of the fireball?". One of those fun situations where logic breaks down(in as...

    Giving +2 worth of class levels to dragons

    The half-celestial template would give alot of nice spell-like abilities and SR greatre than dragons already have. Also regarding feats, Draconomicon has some good dragon feats to differentiate your dragons and make them tougher, and if you decide fighter bonus feats can be used for monstrous...

    What happens when a necklace of fireballs detonates when worn?

    Well, trying to stay as RAW as possible, was hoping there might have been a rules of the game or dungeon/dragon or sage advice or published adventure or something else that said anything about necklaces of fireballs going BOOM-BOOM. But if it has to be house rules/harsh interpretation then thats...

    What happens when a necklace of fireballs detonates when worn?

    Well this is going to be a "cursed" necklace of fireballs type 1, that cannot be removed except by the person that put it on you. And they can detonate all the globes on it if they want to (mental free action). Wanted to know what all is expected to happen when its actually detonated. Calling it...
