We do exactly the same thing. Seems to work.

Hmmm. I think the glowing outline hides with you. FF counters Invis, et al, because you otherwise wouldn't be hidden, just magically hard to pinpoint. Hidden isn't Invisible or Blurred or Dis[laced; it is Hidden. Feeling a bit of Paranoia, Piratecat? I get that a bit myself around here.

lobsterGun- I'm still laughing. That was excellent. About the Awakened Baboon: RAW says "Creatures with 1 or less HD replace their monster levels with their character levels", but this is under "Humanoids and Class Levels". So would you just ignore the Humanoid bit here and say the Baboon...

I read this as a logical flip-flop. The whole point of the ability is, as the name actually states, is hide in PLAIN SIGHT. You don't have to be in a shadow. You don't have to be behind anything. You already ARE in plain sight. You can, though the rules don't say it (and it would be hard to...

Maybe once per encounter? By asking over and over again, the answer isn't going to change and neither is the motivation. Perhaps the only thing that will change is that the NPCs mood will get worse and worse.

I was thinking not ray exactly (ranged touch attack, no ST), but a teensy fireball that only affects one creature (so allows ST for half damage). Assuming the bady makes his ST half the time, at 3rd level it would average just over 7.5 points of damage, while Magic Missile would average 7. So...

I don't see it as a numeric effect. "Attacks nearest target" is the effect, "89" or whatever is just the die roll to get that effect.

Hmmm, I don't have books super handy, but Prismatic Spray fries everyone in a 60' cone while I presume the PR only targets one creature. If you could make a tiny, tiny fireball so tiny it could only effect one creature (even if it hit the side of a tiny mouse cuddled up to another tiny mouse)...

Say a powerful, evil force fixed an ever-burning, dripless (unless they were reeeaaaallly evil) candle to your head. The candle would cast a shadow of itself, and thus you would always be within 10' of a shadow! Hmmm, unless the area was brightly lit already, in which case the candle wouldn't...

Huh, I guess taking only Barbarian levels HAS hurt me. Learning to read could help me on this whole posting thing :)

And that is what I get for staying up too late and posting! I still think the instantaneous effects are cumulative though. Glad I read this thread, since now I am going to align Blasphemy with Holy Word, since my world is full of half-fiends and demons and the party is half-celestial. EDIT...

Second point first: pretty good point. And a 1 CL Half-elestial, for example, would have a pretty hard time keeping up with its party of 5th level Humans (this example assumes ECL of 5 for the starting party). First point second: "Cheaper", in this case, still does not mean equal especially if...

Hmmm, 2 disagreementishes with hyp! A) Actually, it is the other way around. We have: Spells that provide bonuses or penalties on attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, and other attributes usually do not stack with themselves. followed by: Instantaneous Effects: Two or more spells with...

Awaken the pet

So I was just re-reading bloodlines and they seem really really weak compared to half-things. Take Bloodline Red Dragon vs Half-Red-Dragon For the cost of 3 class levels you get : A) a few skills, +2 Natural Armor, a couple of feats, breath weapon at 16th level, fire immunity at 20th, and a...

Great topic! Half-Celestial Ftr 2/Warmain 9 (Arcana Unearthed) Two nice feats- Natural Swordsman (you get +1 to hit with all sowrds, and +1ac if your oponent is using a sword) Fleet of Foot- +10 to your base speed (so you don't have to be a Barbarian). If your DM doesn't want to use...

Excellent response, Zad, and I agree that we basically are just airing our interpretations as opposed to presenting definitive rules. I actually just erased what I was about to say, because it requires more thought. Unfortunately, that more thought is going to have to come later, as it is...

I make the characters have a special potion holder on their belt/battle-harness that can hold 6 potions. These potions can be retrieved and drunk with 1 action. They have similar holders for scrolls, wands, etc edit- er, I should mention that the party members have quick draw, and we decided...

I'd allow it. I'd also take a moment to point out that it is unclear but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. There are 2 reasons for this. 1) I've decided to generally give the players the benefit of the doubt, as the game is supposed to be fun and not an endless court debate over the...

I have to disagree with your disagreement. Since the RAW doesn't say either way, both sides would be equally entitled to say that the opposite interpretation is reading too much into the description. I mean, if I read a rule one way and someone else reads it another, how can you say who is...
