    Trying to find a rule...

    Spiked chain is nice (being able to threaten adjacent squares) but not required. Any reach weapon in the hands of the knight would work. Hmm, I think I have my next character.

    PRCS for a warmage?

    Spell focus necromancy (for horrids) and ... shoot don't remember the other conjuration? With all the cool non-evocation spells, I usually don't care if they make thier save on area of effect spells. It just wasn't worth the feats for my warmage, I had other plans up to 6th level, and at that...

    Quick Spell Descriptions, please

    2cents on Nightstalkers, while it's in effect you can't cast. It's (Tensors) Mages Transformation but with roguelike bonuses. For a straight caster it won't make you a good fighter, or good rogue in this case. If put into a spell storing ring or ioun stone and used by a rogue or fighter...

    Attack and Tumble

    I don't think you will find much support in that, take a look again at the quote. Half speed means the movement costs double. I don't see from that quote how you think moving half speed leaves you with half your movement. Do you rule the same for move silently or balance? The debatable part...

    Adjucating Summon Spells

    :p I use the bison to appraise, gather information, and use rope too. You think I shouldn't?

    Adjucating Summon Spells

    Sorry mist, I do know better, just wasn't thinking. Thanks Shilsen. It's open to debate, but not worth debating. Funny, i never noticed moot is a verb too. Certainly something to moot?

    Attack and Tumble

    Yep you are wrong. :] The way it is written in the PH, it assumes you are tumbling your entire movement. Being able to tumble for 10' and then not tumble for 10' is an interpretation from FAQ iirc. Appologies for not looking up quotes to back this up, maybe over lunch. There is probably...

    The Switcheroo

    I agree with Werk, I don't see how it can happen by RAW. I would guess most DM's would allow the readied action deal. You might be able to combine specific wording to allow it to happen, once the wizard moves out of my square, I will attack the blink dog (this allows a 5' step). The wizard...

    Attack and Tumble

    Yes. Don't forget movement while tumbling is doubled. So instead of attacking and move 30' with an attack of opportunity. You attack and make tumble check DC 15 and then move 15'. Actually you may only need to tumble through your first square, so first swquare double move is 10, then you...

    Adjucating Summon Spells

    Also if anyone has read the original post, the caster speaks celestial, so all the discussion about having to communicate and what languages they speek is mute. but thanks for your contribution. According to RAW (regardless of which language you think the bison speaks) the wizard should be...

    How do you play Summon spells?

    So neutral or good wizards who decide to summon undead are out of luck. The summons won't obey thier orders, but will attack until destroyed. Depending on the wording of the summon undead, it might be attack your opponents, or it might be attack randomly. :P To the OP: I've always seen it up...

    Was I too vague?

    I agree with these. 'Gimmies' are typically handled by knowlege checks. The effect of the wall is Unique, even prismatic sphere hurts to walk out of if you arn't the caster. Perhaps, point out that all magic in your campaign isn't 100% out of SRD, and/or this effect is different somehow...

    Crushing Hand grapple check

    The Bigby hand spells fall into scope of the Warmages advanced learning skills, and I've been considering them. Are they pretty effective or do they fail enough to be a novelty replaced by other spells?

    My weapon is gonna wanna kill me!

    Bag of holding would place it on an extradimentional plane. It's telepathic communication should be blocked by that. I'd go with bluff/diplomacy, let the situation develop/resolve. You could bluff it that you are just using his enemy to your advantage. Or let them meet and resolve thier...

    Can you choose to stop your movement in mid-air?

    I'd have to agree with the poster above, you can't choose to end your movement in mid air, but you can use your movement so that you end your movement in mid air. Say a character with 30' movement moves 20' and make a 15' jump and attacks from mid-jump. Then attack again at the beginning of...

    Touch attacks and unarmed strike

    Yes, touch attacks can be delivered with an unarmed attack. I believe the Slam attack is a standard action, so no flurry of blows or multiple attacks. You chose to deliver the slam attack normally or with an unarmed strike. Alternativly you may make a full attack action to make unarmed...

    Questions about/Problems with PHB II

    I've long thought fighters needed exclusive feats, just like the rogue special abilities after level 10. The one that comes to my mind is one that lets fighters only over level 10 to take a feat that would allow them to roll on a critical hit table in exchange for x1 damage, or only on natural...

    Two Interesting Magic Item Questions

    Back on topic. I never considered that, but It looks like they are referring to powers derived from the Intelligent Item Powers. I think there have been examples of intelligent items which could activate a long list of spells/day that were far too extensive to be obtained from the table. These...

    Two Interesting Magic Item Questions

    I stand corrected. There are rules for moving on precarious surfcaces under the balance skill. I don't see any rules for standing or sitting on precarious surfaces. If there were some, the broom would have to say it's an exception to that rule, even the brush portion at approx 1'x1' is not...

    Two Interesting Magic Item Questions

    Because a capret is a 5'x5' surface or more, the surface area a character requires to fight effectivly. A Broom is a 1" thick x 4' long stick. I do believe there are balance check rules if you are chosing to stand on it. You might get a small balance check bonus if you chose to sit and...
