You mean a psion uncarnate, using the class ability Assume Likeness? I would say no, this ability does not change your form. It changes only your appearance, as explicitly stated in the description of the class ability.

One possibility is to rule that, because each figment is a valid target, the figments are all attacked by grappling tentacles and disappear, making black tentacles another great anti-mirror image spell. Alternately, you could rule that in-place spells like Evard's black tentacles, glyph of...

You're overthinking it. The figments should be treated as real targets. This is one instance where I pretty much completely agree with the FAQ. Magic missile is a great anti-mirror image spell -- just target one missile per image. Any figments hit disappear. If you strike the figment's AC or...

And you're also pretty much limited to wielding daggers all the time to take advantage of all your different class abilities, it seems to me. But it's a good point, and I certainly accept it as evidence I might be overreacting. :)

Because I'm wary of piling three attribute bonuses onto AC. If it's demonstrably not a problem, then it's demonstrably not a problem, and I'm perfectly okay with the idea that my wariness may be unwarranted. It's just a gut feeling. I didn't say I think anything of the sort. But I understand...

Based on the sample character in Complete Champion, who has a bonus to AC both from CON and from WIS, yes, it does. I'm not sure I'm okay with that, though. Because it's the same class ability, if I were DM, I'd be tempted to rule that the "key ability" for that class ability simply changes to...

You can't apply the ability bonus twice -- the ninja class writeup in Complete Adventurer explicitly says so. Doesn't matter whether you can get the ability changed. As far as the "extra" bonus derived from the class ability (the one appearing in both class tables), I'm with Stream in thinking...

Never mind, completely misread the post.

No. You must be able to cast X (or X-level), not be able to cast a completely different spell that can rearrange reality to conform to the idea of your having cast X (or an X-level spell).

Player's Handbook II. The beguiler is sort of like a roguish sorcerer (a sort of sneak-spellcasting schtick instead of sneak attack), with a spell list geared toward stealth and guile.

Because the major image is a figment, and the opponent is in melee with it, I'd rule that the opponent is interacting with it in a meaningful way, and that therefore that the opponent gets a saving throw to disbelieve. Failure means the opponent believes the major image is still the warlock, and...

Looks to me as though the answer is yes, assuming the creature understands what you're saying and you can pull off the 10-minute casting time.

A. No, don't let this player play a crazy overpowered race. For one thing, first-time DMs shouldn't have to put up with that kind of thing. For another, played strictly by the rules, a vampire PC in Ravenloft is going to fail powers checks at such a phenomenal rate that there's virtually no...

A quick rundown of any issues (especially show-stoppers like "this doesn't make sense in 4E") people have spotted would be greatly appreciated. For example, I realized I couldn't find a stat block for a tragedy anywhere in the book, even though . Got that one. Also I think I have all the "page...

A statement that asserts, "no one can..." is disproved if someone correctly and honestly says, "I can."

As someone who mastered older versions of D&D, I can tell you categorically that I interpret 4E's appearance as anything *but* a slap in the face.

I have personal knowledge of several longtime players (1E or earlier) who won't touch 4E with a 10' pole, despite it being a "decent game, overall." My sense is that the hypothesis in the OP is unsupportable.

I used the Jon Pickens article as the springboard for a major sphere reorg of my own. By the end of 2E, I had roped in a large number of sources and an immense number of spells. Nowadays I'd just set something up in Excel, but back in the day my brother wrote a little DOS program that could...

As Umbran makes clear above, OGC is not uncopyrighted. Quite the contrary. What the OGL does is give a publisher specific permissions to reuse copyrighted material. With regard to the Product Identity declaration (which is NOT a copyright notice) in From Stone to Steel, as reproduced, it does...

In 4E Monster Manual, they are the foulspawn berserker. In 3E they got converted by Sean K. Reynolds for Living Greyhawk, and also here at the Creature Catalog (Qullan). Don't know if they ever showed up in 2E, but they can be used pretty much as is from the original 1E source.... In 1E, they...
