You are right it doesn't say anything about changing the creature type. Too bad it doesn't create a duplicate creature. It creates an Illusion. It's not a creature type becaus it's not a creature. (Shadow) isn't a creature type (sorry about using brackets previously) it's a spell type. The...

The same question: Can you use a metamagic silence rod on a maximized Fireball? I would say by RAW you can. In all references to metamagic, a 3rd level spell is a 3rd level spell, no matter what slot is used or required to memorize it. Heighten spell is the only exeption to this. The change...

You are right, the Simulacrum would heal normally, if Illusions heal themselves over time. They would also not be valid targets for curing or healing, since they arn't a creature, they are an "illusory duplicate", which is made substantial with [Shadow] and snow or ice.

Darn you, I just told my DM last night I didn't know of any Simulacrum abuse threads. Here are the balance factors. 1) The material component is a piece of whatever you want to create. The odds of encountering something twice your level AND getting a piece of it should be slim. However, there...

Epic spellcasting isn't that great. Unless you are going past level 30 I wouldn't waste skill points trying to catch your spellcraft up. The 'cool' uses of epic spellcasting require a higher spellcraft than the 24 pre-requisite. You won't get 30 ranks of spellcraft until you are level 27...

I like the idea of summoning something dedicated to counterspelling. It could be any monster with spells (or spel-like ability??). One of the same type you were fighting if possible. If the creature has the same spell or an opposite, it can automatically counter. Advantage, automatic no...

I don't see any ambiguity. They do not stack. FAQ is not erratta, so if there was a FAQ statement that contradicts the rules, consider it optional rules. So, there was a FAQ reply that made an exception for undead attacks, but this FAQ reply does not support the previous FAQ reply.

I can't think of counterspell ever being used in any of the games I have played or DM'd. We had discussed whether it could be done in situations maybe a dozen times since 3.0, but I don't think we followed through more than twice. That is one post you don't see here or on WOTC Boards...

Hmmm spellcasting ghost. Did they cast dispel magic on the magic weapons so they couldn't do damage at all?

They have done it as you mentioned, they did it in 3.0 with the polymorph spell, which was then errata'd again in the wizard's handbook then again in the psyonics handbook, and then the 3.5 series began. I just wish they would make it clear that they are contradicting the book, and that the...

Nope, Can't charge through diagonals: The line from the bottom right of C to the bottom Right of B passes through an occupied square. So you Can't charge through the diagonal. The same restriction does not exist for 5' steps or running though.

I agree with the above, by raw you can take that diagonal 5' step. I'm not sure about running, and I'm pretty sure you can't charge across them.

Just don't ever make a double move, or you will leave him on his butt prone.

Does that hold true for Hydras, Elementals, and other monsters that simply have multiple blocks for each advancement opposed to making the DM advance the creature?

I'd agree, it could use 'use - activated' items. ... ... I'm not 100% on that though. I'd go with the best argument, especially if someone can find a core quote to back them up.

It Might add the spell to your class list... It seems it's vague enough that that's what they meant. IF it does, here's the problem: Cure Light Wounds, Level: Brd 1, Clr 1, Drd 1, Healing 1, Pal 1, Rgr 2 So a sorcerer learns the spell.... Does the sor/wiz get it at 1st, 2nd, or higher? That...

Terribly sorry, I skimmed your message and missed what you were looking for. I would price it as a variation of Shrouds of Disintegration I would allow it as a single use item at 1/5 the cost, 1,320gp that would disintegrate them when they died. Most likely a scarab or something or vest...

First there is an item that protects from negative energy already (the FIRST method of pricing magic items). Scarab of Protection. I even think that item is a tad to powerful with the spell resistance. Second, the spell is protection from negative energy. Pricing the item as the 4th level...

I also haven't seen divine metamagic allowed in any game, but if your DM allows it then knock yourself out. Especially if he allows it without taking the prerequisite feat!!!!

I don't know of any charaisma dependant feats. I also would strongly second Thane's list. Quicken (for 1st level round/level spells that scale for level) and Extend for buff spells. Empower and Maximize arn't good for clerics. There are few spells that don't have better counterparts at or...
