Hi, fellow spell stealing subjects out there! Is the requirement to have "the ability to cast i.e. 1st-level spells" fullfilled by a spellthief who can steal 0- to 1st-level spells via the steal spell class feature? [generally and looking towards prestige classes] Thanx for your consideration.

Hi! Better stick to Energy Affinity (from MH, p. 25) Prereq: Kn (arcana) 5, ability to cast 1 spell with the fire and cold and electr. and acid descriptor; Choose one energy type and deal that energy with your energy spells instead of the normal energy type per the spell. BUT you can't choose...

Hi! What about the several polymorph/shapechanging spells? What about the ultimate "wish"? Kind regards

The most "official" rule for "turning a blind eye" ;) towards an enemy would be that your opponent [you are ignoring = lat. "do not know of being there"] is "invisible" and gets all benefits for being invisible whilst you are "blind" and suffer all penalties for being blind. So, no possibility...

Maybe you can use the spell Arrow Mind from Complete Adventurer [p. 143] [Ranger 1, Sorcerer/Wizard 1] as an immediate action, which allows just that: to make AoOs with a [insert type] bow. But remember that shooting into melee has its own drawbacks. Kind regards

I do the same IMC, but wanted to point it out. ;) Kind regards

Nice idea. If it wouldn't be any help to say: "Just give ad hoc XP", then what about to distribute a percentage per adventure, like 10% to 15% of the grand total XP? Kind regards

Tough but not broken, handy, and sometimes inconvenient, especially when you want your ring-of-blades protected character to aid another ally. :heh: Kind regards

Hi! Even if it's a little far-fetched. Think about how Evasion works. First the Save then damage or no damage. It makes the most sense. Kind regards

Don't know why not. You just read the spell from the scroll and may use the Casting on the Defensive option, since casting a spell from a scroll provokes AoOs. Using a wand does not provoke AoOs. Kind regards

Yeah, but then you don't have to make an attack roll to deliver the touch spell to a friend - opposed to deliver a touch spell to an enemy. ;) Kind regards

RoS has rules about Rune Circles - magic used to "fuse runes into the ground" [see pages 167 and on]. Indeed, RoS has a 5-level Prestige Class named Runesmith, which, as a class feature, can endorse objects with runes [aka arcane spells], but this PrC also requires the character to be an arcane...

Hi! Don't know if this is of help to you but at least it's "official" [see WoTC home page]: Kind regards

Hi! I'd not combine the two feats. Quick Reconnoiter allows you to make normal Spot and Listen checks as a free action instead of a move action. Deft Strike requires you to use a Standard Action and make a Spot check to accomplish something else. Kind regards

Supporting Psimancer here. There isn't any DC-raising for casting from a prone position. But bear in mind that aiming a touch spell has (probably) a -4 penalty on attack rolls and that aiming a ranged touch spell [as ranged weapon] isn't (probably) possible. See Prone in the PHB Glossary (p...

Maybe that's of some help: Coordinated Strike; Prereq: Animal companion or special mount class feature, Handle Animal 5 ranks; Benefit: +1 bonus on attacks when your animal companion or special mount attacks the same target; Source: Races of the Wild, p. 149 Devoted Tracker; Prereq:Track, Smite...

Welcome :lol:

And, indeed, it is! Enjoy! ;) It's on page 198 (DMG): Researching Original Spells. Note that the DMG has remarks on and damage caps for new spells on pages 35 and 36. Kind regards

Hmmm.... even if I like your idea, the more I think about it the more it makes me wonder. What about divine scrolls? What if a cleric of a particular deity/alignment finds a scroll of an opposed faith? Does she have to speak aloud the name of the opposed deity to use the scroll properly? What...

Hi! Only if the spell components require a DF (Divine Focus) [as mentioned above]. That's up to the DM. The V (Verbal) components just require to be uttered "in a strong voice" [PHB, p. 174] Speaking aloud the name of an evil deity presenting an unholy symbol may be the cause for a minor...
