Good point, as it states "you can fly at a speed" and not "you gain a fly speed", although I'd wager many DMs would be willing to house rule it. Hover would be useless, however, as you fly with good maneuverability already.

If you're going gunslinger (considering that myself) you might think of the dual wand wielding feat in Complete Arcane. Burn extra charges to get two wands off in a round. Fits the gunslinger flavor spot on, but the prereq's are a bit steep- IIRC, craft wand and TWF. Also- be sure to wear the...

I just picked up spiderwalk for my warlock and can't wait to pick up my first wand of web. Got me thinking, though, that it could sure be fun to play a Spider-Man type of warlock. Dark One's Luck for reflex saves, spiderwalk and... I'd like suggestions for a web-shooting warlock invocation...

However, since we're the good guys who'd prefer, all being equal, to go after bad guys with useful things, at higher levels the DC's will skyrocket, as powerful evil can't move about openly whereas Ms. Holy Avenger can. Thanks for that info, Storyteller, but we're not intending on entering the...

I'm playing in a Ptolus campaign- city-based in a metropolis huge enough that we'll likely never leave it during the entire campaign. Given that environment, I'm wondering if Gather Information could be used to find a criminal or evil-doer who just happens to be equipped with gear you want...

Thanks for all the replies! KarinsDad, that's an interesting way of keeping things equitable. frankthedm, I'm aware that the spell needs to be cast each day, with a day for every 1000gp- I was considering the usefulness of crafting wondrous items that simply cast a given spell once per day in...

You can if you can get the requisite spells cast from another source- a wand or another party member without the feat or even a hired spellcaster. Scrolls are possible but harder for a warlock 'cos UMD'ing the needed ability scores is pretty difficult.

And when the items have been expended? Less effective and "weak"? We generally split evenly. If the split is evenly based on the loot that comes in, those who expend ephemera will slip behind the others whose items are chargeless. In general, this shouldn't be too much of an issue, but as I...

If a cleric UMD'd a staff for spells not on the cleric list, would his caster level be used since he, as a spellcaster, has a caster level? What about a warlock?

If a character focuses on expendable magic resources- scrolls, wands, staffs, potions- do they end up falling behind characters that do not insofar as average wealth for level goes? While I'm sure expendable resources were taken into account, if one uses them more than the designers compensated...

Staffs are activated via UMD the same way wands are. Staffs, however, can use the caster level of the user. Is there a caster level resultant from a UMD check, or must one simply use the caster level of the staff itself? I'm curious to know if staffs are worthwhile for a warlock.

That's all I needed to know. I voted no.

Is it possible to prepare a flask of oil ahead of time, or must the full round action be taking immediately prior to throwing?

Thanks, Abraxas! Just the citation needed. Looking around there, though, I might be more inclined to rule a barrel is more similar to a pedastal than to a pillar. But that'd be the DM's call. I'll point mine to this thread and see what he thinks.

Thanks, frank, it's the Slender Pillar rules that we missed. I can't help but wonder, though- if a goblin is small enough to take advantage of Improved Cover, would the barrel really be considered a Slender Pillar? I guess size doesn't really matter in that case. Where is that Slender Pillar...

Fifteen feet away is a goblin who is taking cover behind a barrel. He gets cover from my ranged attacks, but do I get cover from his javelin throwing? My DM ruled 'No', but I pointed to the 'Low Cover' rules as the mechanic for that situation, and a barrel isn't low for a Small creature. He...

Also in the Spell Compendium is Shard Storm. Medium range, 20' radius burst dealing 3d6 force and continues to deal 3d6 to creatures in the area for 1 round per level. It can be supressed for a round as a free action.

Which makes summon swarm a good choice for invisible casters-

You'd think I'd learn at some point not to post until I've read the relevant section of the SRD. Sorry for the laziness.

This is really a key point. I'm sure it's come up before, but does concealment hinge on the observer being in the smoke, the observed, or both? Or either? My initial take would be either. If you're in the smoke then "a creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance)."...
