    Revised DR

    Yeah, I didn't mind the 5/blunt change to skeletons, but I never had an issue with silver weapons AND magical weapons affecting werewolves. I suspect many people might incorporate the skeleton type DR, but leave the old stuff alone. IceBear

    Magic Items and Dispel Magic

    dcollins, We tend to get along so please remain calm. You are the one that responded to hong's comment that dispell magic effects spell-like and supernatural effects by effectively stating that magic items aren't spell-like or supernatural effects (if that's not what you were saying, then I'm...

    Revised DR

    Hmmmm - just read the front page. More info on the changes there. Dunno if I like the proposed materials changes to DR, but it looks like Harm and Haste are definitely getting "fixed" IceBear

    Bards using divine scrolls

    I know. All I meant was that since we don't know what that "something more" is it's just speculation on our part. While I can't think of a good reason how someone could co-operatively make a scroll without it seeming silly, it doesn't mean that someone else can't. Also, since the rules do say...

    Bards using divine scrolls

    I actually feel the same way about scrolls, but I believe that would be a house rule (I mean, we don't know HOW a scroll is really created). I'm with you in that I have issues with two people working on a scroll together. IceBear

    Clerics & Sneak attacks

    Yeah, Dreamcatcher has a point. Other touch spells tend to deliver some sort of elemental damage so hitting a vulnerable spot makes sense. The way the inflict spells work, it seems to matter less where you touch them rather than simply touching them and filling them with negative energy. Then...

    Bards using divine scrolls

    I *think* it's actually in the DMG under Magic Item creation or in the PHB under the Item Creation Feats, but I could be wrong. I know that somewhere it says (or has been clarified) that multiple people could work together to create the item because there was a Sage response that the person...

    Magic Items and Dispel Magic

    Hehehehe - damn - I couldn't remember that saying. It's looks, walks and sounds isn't it? I've actually never felt a duck in my life. Now chickens on the other hand..... :D IceBear

    Magic Items and Dispel Magic

    Ok, let's look at the Anti-Magic Field from the SRD The last sentence states that magic items and spells don't function within the confines, so that seems to suggest that they might be different (though I think they just stated that for clarity). The second sentence would imply, if we say...

    Bards using divine scrolls

    And no, before you ask, it is not allowed for a Bard to scribe an arcane cure light wounds scroll and the wizard scribe it into his spellbook IceBear

    Magic Items and Dispel Magic

    Well, what are effects from magic items then? In my mind, they are either spell or spell-like effects. Boots of Speed are either casting haste on you, or cause a haste-like effect (for all intents and purposes). If a monter could haste itself as a spell-like ability, at will, as often as it...

    Magic Items and Dispel Magic

    I'm with hong :) Strange, after almost ALWAYS disagreeing with hong in the past, in the last few months I almost always agree with him now. Is the End 'nigh? :eek: IceBear

    Starting as a Prestige class

    Thanks for that clarification shilsen. Yeah, as a monster I guess a prestige class is fine as the first "non-monster" class. I still had my mind fixated on "normal" races and how a prestige class is to be "prestigeous" :D But, yeah, it should be no problem for a monster. IceBear

    Starting as a Prestige class

    Hmmm, ok, so it's a monster class. I think that's different from the normal classes. I can't remember who has the excellent FAQ on this, but I think that's what you want. I *believe* that if you have monster levels you don't get the 1st level skill points for taking any class anyway. I'd...

    Starting as a Prestige class

    Whoa! What race and what prestige class? I'd personally make the player take a level of a normal class first. Taking it at first level seems to go against the purpose of prestige classes. IMHO, I'd say that any prestiege class that can be taken before 3rd level (I'd rather 4th or 5th, but I'm...

    Does being invis stop AoO?

    Since being the subject of an AoO is dependent on your actions and not that of the attacker, you would still be subject for the AoO for doing the same action regardless as to whether or not you are visible. However, if the attacker is completely unaware of your presence then I wouldn't have the...

    Flying over the battlemat

    Hmmm - you know maybe I am using wet erase pens :) I do erase my drawings almost right away (I only sketch out the area for combat purposes or to clarifiy something if my descriptions are wrong). It usually comes off with a paper towel, but if I do leave it too long I have to use water. Not...

    Xp Awarding question.

    Ok, I think you're misunderstanding. If a party consisting of levels 4, 5, 5, 6 (average party level 5) should fight a CR5 monster then each of them gets 1000/4 (I'm not sure what a CR5 monster would give to a APL 5, just using 1000 as an example). If you do it as per the FRCS, then the level...

    Flying over the battlemat

    I draw on mine all the time with dry erase pens. It's easier to carry around as it can roll up quite nice. IceBear

    Knowledge skills -- what do they reveal?

    I just adjudicate Knowledge skills as needed. It's not too bad, and in general you know when things to be revealed by the Knowledge skill will affect your game. The rest is just fluff. I generally determine a head of time what DC a Knowledge skill would have to determine some information. If...
