I know that! Geesh - so nitpicky :D I was addressing bob's comment about using a handaxe specifically. In my case, I have purposely house ruled that GMW doesn't work for Sundering or for overcoming DR just to prevent someone from doing this (mainly archers), but, yes, by the rules, GMW...

evilbob, It's just that there are many, many cases of stuff looking better on paper than they are - the monk is one of them. You, yourself, have admitted that you haven't played on. Nearly everyone that has posted that HAS played a monk has stated that they didn't feel overpowered, but rather...

If it's instanteously reactivated, then even if the guy is in lava I'd say that the guy might start feeling warm before the armor kicked back in, but that's about it. That's what instanteously means in D&D terms, in my opinion. Instanteous in real world terms might not be the same as in D&D...

I dunno. I've never played one but I had one in a campaign I was running. He was pretty mediocre - the guy played the ranger (I couldn't believe it :)) was consistently outshining him in combat. I would like to note, however, that we never played beyond 10th level so perhaps some of the...

It is! It is! :D IceBear

They need to do some sort of equivalency. +1 = Material X +2 = Material Y etc That way a magical weapon of sufficient power could still blast through the DR of some monsters. BTW - I've always house ruled GMW so that the pluses from the spell aren't "real" in that they can overcome DR or be...

Hehehehe - nice to see that Customer Support hasn't made you cynical :D IceBear

What was the other thing? IceBear

Again, I'm with hong. Dispel magic details specifics on how it iteracts with magic items, yes, but we're talking about the effects of the items here - not the items themselves. I would do exactly what hong said. The invisibility from the ring would be dispelled (next round, it's reactivated)...

Thanks for sharing that Andy - it helps put things into perspective. Yeah, with lower damage amounts to get past DR it does help with the flavor and still keep things from getting crazy. IceBear

And I disagree with it. The magnitude of the elemental ray is the same, it's just going to do more damage when it hits the target. Oh well. IceBear

Oh I know it can happen and why (I just hadn't seen it in my games so I didn't consider it), but it does sink the argument that it's just an extra attack getting through rather than the attacker exploiting a weakness. Since the attacker chooses, then he must be aware of the weakness, and if he...

Good point about the attacker choosing. I don't think the one per round means diddle either way. If I'm the attacker and the defender opens himself up twice I don't think it matters who it's a function of - you would get two shots in if the rule wasn't for game balance. However, since you're...

That's because you're looking at AoO as a function of the attacker? You're attacking someone who is invisible. That attack isn't one attack roll - it's several swings, feints, etc. The attack roll is to determine if these series of maneuvers penetrate the defenses and cause damage. If that...

From reading the haste spell changes that were mentioned, I really think if you start using the d20 Modern versions of some spells you'll already be using the revised versions. IceBear

Yup, though I'm not sure if there are generic categories of Bane that might have creatures affected by two different materials (I haven't looked at the bane list and I haven't seen what materials affect what creatures). Anyway, I'm less opposed to this DR change than I was before. Still, this...

Yeah, we are seeing the rules in a vacuum. They may have changed certain powers as well. There may be a passage under "Bane" that states that Bane weapons overcome the DR of any creature the Bane applies to, so I will withhold further judgement until then. I just don't want it to come to the...

BTW - I don't think either view explains the one AoO per round. If you're fighting someone who drinks two potions you only get one AoO so neither view (AoO is a function of the attacker or AoO is a function of the defender) really explains that. I'm sure the one AoO per round was simply a game...

Well, the "wild flailing" was just one way of looking at it. It wouldn't work most of the time. Usually, I'd do as others have stated. They become aware that there is an invisible creature nearby and start attacking a square. If the creature is in that square and performing an action that...

Yup, I'm with you there. I liked that whole Titan with a sword vs a skeleton thing and if they had left it there I'd be fine with it, but the rest just blows. IceBear
