Summary: Disallow--player is getting something for nothing. Except for that falling damage. Disallow--character isn't rated in that movement type (flying). Unless the character doesn't know that he's moving in a way that he can't (trap, illusion) in which case it's fine. Disallow--falling...

Herremann the Wise, you've built up the suspense for long enough... Finish the story. Please.

"Balance" is always brought up as a boogeyman in the saving feats discussion. In previous threads the worst that has been shown is that a character might qualify for a prestige class a level early--at the significant cost of not having the use of a feat for a number of levels. My own opinion...

So which is the melee weapon: the hand or the spell?

#1 and #4 seem to contradict each other a bit. A huge all of dense vines which doesn't block Line of Sight but does provide cover at >5 feet? Though I do personally think that Wall of Thorns is fine as is. Wall of Force in my experiences with it has been essentially in impossible barrier...

What if we place the edge of the cliff in the middle of a square. Same ruling--can't move into that square? Or must I make a Balance check? May I volutarily fail that Balance check? As for issues of game abuse, it seems to me that there is a general sentiment of screw the player. In the...

Let me ask another question for the can't-5-foot-steppers. What if the character in question had Fly cast on them? Could they then step 5 feet into air? Would that still be "difficult terrain"? Also, how do you justify there to be "enough time" in the round for a character to full-attack...

The fireball analogy is very weak. It's not a divination spell and therefore completely irrelevant to the primary discussion. It is an offensive spell which conveys no direct information. The indirect information which MAY be gotten from it (see previous response to your fireball example) has...

In my opinion it would depend on what the player had done up until that point in the round. If they still had an unused move action or a standard action then I would allow them to use it, to stand from prone or whatever. And had they only taken a 5ft step I would allow them both a move (stand...

I agreee with much of what you said. The only thing I am not clear on whether the fall should happen at the end of the turn, or at the start of the next turn. If a trap, or illusionary floor, would mandate an immediate (non-action/free action) fall, then I would rule that the fall happens at...

Whether the information given to you by the spell goes to your brain or your eyes doesn't seem like it really matters, does it? Either way the divination spell had given you information you didn't have before.

Mind Blank prevents both mind-affecting spells as well as information gathering by diviination. "This spell protects against all mind-affecting spells and effects as well as information gathering by divination spells or effects. ... Scrying attempts that are targeted specifically at the subject...

Falling 20ft will take: d=gt^2 t=sqrt(d/g) d(istance)=20 g(ravity)=32 sqrt(20/32)=0.791 secs I agree with no inflight heroics. Shoot before or after.

That would actually be your eyes which gave you that information. You cast Fireball [near] me. I am invisible. You know nothing.

Reveal, I don't see how the quote supports your conclusion. It basically states what happens if you deliberately jump. I would guess the character would say that they are not deliberately jumping, but that they are deliberately falling and would willingly give up the benefit of deliberate...

In support, of Infiniti2k the text of Flesh to Stone says "The subject, along with all its carried gear, turns into a mindless, inert statue." In this case the authors were clear to spell out explicitly that the statue was inert, while in Statue there is no such mention... Personally I always...

I'm with Coredump on this one. CDG in the situation as first described was indeed EVIL. CDG in the clarified situation (12 opponents, long fight, etc..) is much more ambiguous because there is an element of self-defense to it. But, even a neutral character, IMHO, ought look for a less lethal...

With respect to glass I believe these statements are wrong. CON changes, HPs change. I have emailed WotC customer service on this point and they indicated that HPs change. There has apparently been a Rules of the Game article which stated the same thing. Since the PHB is ambiguous it is, in...

The only real challenge at this point is: retirement. Oh, yes, and four little words, "Roll up new characters."

I hate to fan these flames too much, but, dcollins, do you maintain your claim in the face of the errata? Or are you simply restating how you think your houserule should work?
