Are there rules for how fast you can pull an object that's got a line on it. Say you shoot a magic strand at a disarmed wand and want to reel it in before the enemy can retrieve it, that sort of thing. Of course, if the object has any real mass, it's going to slow things down, but for things...

But aren't constructs magic items? Do you not take the Craft Construct feat and follow rules precisely like those detailed for other magic items? Is there a specific citation making explicit the difference between constructs and other magic items when it comes to dispel magic?

Not sure how far afield you're willing to go for inspiration but the Totem Warrior class in Arcana Evolved has a wolverine totem warrior that gets wolvie-style claws at level one. Might be worth a dip just for that if your DM will allow it.

edit: entire post's premise mistaken... move along...

The inention. A chain devil kept perpetually under hold monster may be unable to perform evil acts and yet still be a blip on detect evil's radar. The reason we use actions, though, is that they are observable and proveable.

Hellfire Warlock I'm interested in reports from those who have played or analyzed the Binder, too. The Hellfire Warlock prestige class involves constitution damage which a level of Binder can significantly ameliorate.

Any discussion on Warlock optimization should include the Hellfire Warlock PrC discussed here: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=752142

Apparently you haven't read much Asimov...

If you only pause to check for auras when a choice presents itself, it could speed things up considerably. If you're in a dungeon a lot of time all you need to know is which exit they used every now and then.

Having just levelled my warlock to 2nd, I'm thinking about creative uses for detect magic. The fact that it can penetrate stone and wood and even some metal can make it useful for scouting. I was looking at the rules for lingering auras and was considering how it might be used to track...

Oooh. Color me curious. Where can I get a glimpse at the house rules you're adopting for this? Not here, of course, because this is the rules forum.

When creating new magic items, the first rule of valuation is to take a look at a similar item and price it accordingly. I would suggest taking the lack of any such items as an indication the designers thought cure spells would be best placed in wands & staffs. If you really want to have fun...

I've seen Wand Strike and, while neat, costs a feat and I'd question if it's a good deal at the cost. I don't want to trigger the wand with an attack, I just want to have a wand in hand and threaten an area while still having a hand free for somatics. Plus it opens the way for a lot of cool...

Are there any rules for making a wand out of somthing more useful than a stick? Staffs can be made into quarterstaffs or cudgels- would there be anything unbalancing about allowing a wand to be made out of a nonmagical masterwork weapon? Are there any variant rules published regarding it?

Weapon Focus (ranged spell) and Ranged Spell Specialization both work with Eldritch Blast, giving you +2 to your rays' damage and +1 to attack rolls. For me it comes down to this: Expect to be firing into melee more often than not? Get PBS & Precise Shot. If not, get WF & RSS. Or get all four.

TWF doesn't affect Wandstrike, as Wandstrike's benefit begins, "As a standard action..." The TWF -> Dual Wand chain is probably only useful for melee warlocks with a level or two of fighter for the extra feats. edit: unless, of course, you really want the 'gun in each fist' flavor for your...

Upon further thought, I'll give one a shot. I'm sure I'll be able to improve on the wording but here goes: Eldritch Web Lesser, 3rd; Eldritch Essence This eldritch essence allows you to change your eldritch blast into an eldritch web. The damage from your edlritch web is converted to...

Hm. Got me thinking. Is there an easy way to determine who has cover from you? If you're 50' up a wall shooting into the melee below, it's unlikely your targets receive cover from the other combatants. Let's see. A medium sized combatant takes up a 5' cube. The most cover an enemy would...

Your spiderwalking warlock is perched on the side of a building (b) facing an alley (a) and wants to hit someone below with his eldritch blast (c). His blast has a range of 60ft. How far down the alley can he reach? Depends on how far up the building he is (assuming it's vertical). a^2 + b^2...

If you mean the ones in Complete Mage, I agree- nice stuff in there. I like the one that improves your DR/Cold Iron.
