Hmm. So if I have a readied action to cast web and state the triggering action as, "When I see a spell being cast," does the web go off before the spell is finished interrupting the spell (which I would see as the "normal" case for this readied action), or does it go off as the bead leaves the...

No it doesn't. This is D&D. ;) On another note: This brings up a question that I'm sure must've been covered here before. There is a random chance when using a ranged weapon and firing into a grapple that you might hit any creature involved in the grapple. I'm not going to ask how that...

Hmm. No problems so far. Been a subscriber since Dec 06 (bought an HDTV just after Christmas but signed up with BB in late Nov). As a test I just typed "michael moore" into the search box and got 3 pages worth of hits, although some of them he's acting in and not directing. The top of the...

This was directed at Cameron, but I'm going to take a shot at it. As you point out later, the FAQ is commentary and nothing more. The PHB text is the rule. The PHB was simply stating that the monk doesn't take the penalties normally associated with off-hand attacks when using unarmed strikes...

I allow all new and replacement PCs to start with assets equal in value to the Table 5-1: Character Wealth by Level in the 3.5e DMG (page 135). I put one restriction on it: no single item can be worth more than (PC Level)^2 * 1000/7 in gold pieces. That's kind of a weird formula, I know. :)...

Wow, I would say "right on!" to Thanee's post concerning secure setups. Don't bother with MAC filtering, though. It's true that it won't stop a "determined" hacker, but it wouldn't even stop someone just browsing the networks very much. (It's quite easy to use available software tools to...

It sounds like I don't play games as much as the rest of you here. But I travel on business a lot, so I will grab a game before getting on a plane and play it for a week or two. Sometimes hold onto it a little longer. My wife wanted a DVD rental plan, but we chose Blockbuster instead of...

And being darn persistent about it, too! Not that I can fault you for that, especially since it's for my personal benefit! (Hi, Carol. :))

Very cool. Thanks. :) I added the URL of your post and some other information to the document properties of my copy. I do that so that I can always find the original again, if necessary. This is particularly useful because I usually rename documents so that they are more meaningful to me...

(Thanks, kingpaul. There's a reason I love open source and community support. :))

When I come across web sites like this I make sure to send a note to the web designer and chastise them for not using floating page layouts. Yes, it's more work for them. But they're being paid to design the site and this laziness that says it's okay to build a static sized web site galls me...

Thanks, Dave. You're right about driving for 2 hours, of course. But I drive to JAX a few times a year and I can do that in 3h20m. Gainesville should be about 1h30m, give or take a few minutes. I'm driving to JAX again in August, so I'll pay more attention to the timing. That's still a very...

Nope. If you were using Linux, I could recommend Umbrello or Dia or even Inkscape. But I have no idea if those have been ported to Windows. (Some of the Qt-based programs will be portable simply because the Qt library has been ported, so maybe in the future...)

*Bump* We're still looking for players...

Hmm. This is an interesting question. :) I would roll a surprise check for the mount. If it's surprised, and the PC wants the mount to act, I would apply a -4 modifier to the initiative, but only for the surprise round. This represents that while the rider can indeed control the mount, the...

I never did like the idea that perception of the spellcaster was so critical to rule adjudication. IMO, the same problem arises with mirror image and magic missile, or mirror image and the Cleave feat(s). There is circular logic employed in any ruling about whether magic missile affects an...

Hey folks. I'm pretty happy with the group that I'm running through RttToEE, except... We have been cut down to just 3 players (1 man, 2 women). We are all long-time gamers, ages range from 25 to 45, non-smokers and, for the most part, non-drinkers (although I don't mind having a beer on an...

Thanks. :) However, Monte writes elsewhere in the module that if the bebilith is released and begins to roam the mines killing stuff, the higher level BBEGs will take care of it. Now, does that mean that DM fiat is being applied and the dimensional anchor is not just 8 minutes in duration, but...

This aspect hadn't occurred to me: that depriving the demon of its teleportation ability should be balanced by dismissal being ineffective. The confusion, on my part, was that one spell said one thing and another spell said something else. Normally, I can make determinations based on the...

I brought this question up on another forum (Monte's RttToEE forum) because it isn't clear to me at all. Some google'ing of certain sites (this one, WotC's, and Monte's) only returned a few hits, and the ENworld hits were many years old (pre-dating 3.5E, I think?). My question concerns an...
