I hate sunlight. It's bright. It burns. I never did understand why people still keep this archaic ritual going. Daylight is, frankly, much overrated. Fortunately, I don't have to really care what time it is, or whether it's light or not, since I'm retired and live underground. Sunlight is bad...

I don't get it. They claim Mind Flayers, despite being obviously Cthonian, Yuan-ti, not exactly an original concept, and a few other obscure ones, yet don't bother to claim the obviously D&D monster, which is even genetically adapted to graph paper, the Gelatinous Cube?

Yes, either way, whether manyshot is multiple concentration checks, or better, a single concentration check for total damage, you win out. The first forces more concentration checks.....although if the opponent's concentration skill is high, it may very well that your shots' damage falls into...

Ruleswise, it would appear that it must be the attack of opportunity that does it. Otherwise, this would imply an equivalence between a readied action against another action, in the case of actions which, due to character mods, no longer provoke attacks of opportunity, and an attack of...

What about Teleport Fireball? Did that one appear yet? A simple approach to avoiding the entire scry/teleport thing is to deprive the enemy of an LZ: If you spend your time resting in an underground box as your bed, into which you, yourself, teleport, your opponent, who looks for you, simply...

IMHO, and this is admittedly with a lack of extensive experience in 3E PnP campaign play, as lately, I've mostly been doing wargaming sets, lacking the time for a full campaign, having a high initiative is something which is far less important with long encounter ranges, and is less beneficial...

I don't see this as terribly meta: If somebody has the ability to absorb power from having spells cast on him, it's not unreasonable to expect him to find ways to try and self-charge. If you suddenly developed an ability to absorb large amounts of electrical damage and release it as an attack...

Because they look like dwarves, only different.

Have you ever seen or successfully operated one? I've tried. I've tried screaming it, cursing at it, exhorting it to work, thumping it, shaking it, and even kicking it. It doesn't seem to do anything. As a side note, however, it's funny to give the "Bull:):):):)ting Ouija Board" to players.

Hmm. Urine is acidic. Maybe you could kill the troll by leaving it to soak in a vat of urine?

Wouldn't that be an incompetence penalty, rather than a competence bonus, since it's a penalty, and is lack of competence, which is incompetence?

The more amusing example of a huge size discrepancy in grappling would be a human attempting to grapple with an ant.

If it were stackable, somebody would certainly abuse it using a large number of mortally wounded rats.

How about "Snake Oil"? We have no idea what the heck is in it, so it must be snake oil.

I'd congratulate you, but I've seen and heard this story too many times and know how it ends. So instead, I offer my condolences on your loss, in advance.

What are you apologizing to me for? I'm the one supporting that viewpoint. Of course, the idea that a "bludgeoning" arrow somehow functions any differently than a "piercing" arrow is somewhat silly.

Yes, but can the Flesh Golem be voluntarily instructed to waive immunity, or are flesh golems always immune, regardless of orders?

All of these should be possible. Any of the cases where you make 3 attacks is penalized by TWFing. I forget whether 3.5E still has the offhand strength and accuracy penalty, but if it does, in all cases where the attack is made with the offhand, you'd suffer those penalties. I don't recall...

Would those RATS happen to come in a BAG, by any chance?

Of course, the main problem with being a user of exotic weapons that normal people do not use in the campaign, is the scarcity of finding magical versions of it as loot: If you want one, your own partymembers are likely going ot have to create it, or you'll have to try and commission one...
