Ditto. 1) can't target 2) can target The grenade rules are in 3.5 for thrown items. It might be reasonable for a DM to impose in situation 2, but not absolutely nessesary.

They do not get cover. In the movement section they point out moving through occupied spaces does not grant cover. Also the grapple section does not mention gaining cover for being in a grapple (or pinned). There are also many creatures that use the tactic and there is no mention of cover there.

Keep in mind, this is the RULES forum, so the people who come here are to some degree concerned about what RAW states. I would bet your poll will show a greater disregard of the rules over in the 'House Rules' forum. I only scan the general forum when I've caught up on all the discussions...

Where are the rogue substitution levels located (what page if they are in the PHBII)?

Aside from feats that specifically allow such actions, you can't do this by RAW. When you jump you can take no action until you complete your jump. If I recall, even leap attack assumes you end your jump adjacent to your ally, not make the attack mid-air. :Edit, I did recall: So you can't...

I agree with those that conclude you cannot move more than 5' on your mount and then full round attack. The odd thing I find is that it doesn't take a move action. So it might allow some other full round action, or you could fast dismount and then move and then make a single attack. I'd...

The walls of Fire, Ice (line or sphere), and wall of stone are the only ones I know of being shapable. The rest and the line options of these are all just a straight line, though they can be placed at an angle across the grid. The only shapable one, the wall of stone, I suppose could be placed...

I'd go with 150gp each. I suspect there are a lot of items that are priced by usefulness/value when the formula price adds up to something that doesn't make sense. In this case it could be compared to a continual flame (stone) at 50gp. There is a little advantage of having the 'stone' light...

I could see the casters in our campaigns not casting the spell because it would look ridiculous. Unless of course they have improved invisibility going at the time.

There are legends of a huge bird in North America. The bird is rumored to be so large that it could only take flight in strong winds. Thus was mostly seen preceeding thunderstoms. There are a few reports from Mexico, up the Eastern side of the Rockies, and the mid-west (along a jet stream)...

Thanks Hyp. It's never been allowed in our games, and I would be inclined to not allow using a lesser rod on an empowered fireball. It's good to know there is a strong indicator at least that supports the decision. I'm not sure how the sudden metamagics would fit into this, it hasn't come up...

Along with mindblank, I thought I would point out wax earplugs. By RAW they make you immune to sonic mind effects, but the effect on listen checks or deafness isn't really defined. If it's no penalty or -4 to listen it would be worth running around with your ears-stopped up if you fear sonic...

I agree with this, the blanket over the head is a bad example. Using the tower shield for total cover might be, but I think everyone would consider the normal 10+dex AC to hit the tower shield. I also agree with the FAQ, however as someone pointed out the difference between one 2nd level spell...

Anklet of translocation - swift action teleport 10' x5 per day, must have line of effect 1400gp This would definitely be my favorite item of the lot, if shopping in a market offering all the choices. Boots of big stepping - standard action 60' x3 as greater teleport 6,000 gp This would be my...

Ditto, The 1.5x str damage seems equal to a two weapon fighter in my mind. I didn't realize the 2x damage was new to 3.5. I probably wouldn't end up house-ruling it though, so far none of the players feel the same way.

If you cast mirror image, then invisibility: can you pinpoint the caster's location with a listen check? With mirror image: can you pinpoint the caster with a listen check while your eyes are closed? I'm betting both are no because of the peculiar note that the spell explicitly has no effect...

So how much for a dimutive iron golem? I've always wanted one to stand guard at night: damage reduction 10/adamantine, darkvision 60 ft., immunity to magic, and no need to sleep.

I believe it's a partially real illusion from the spell descriptor (shadow). Reference:Is Simulacrum subject to abuse? There is also this discussion, which goes on quite a while, but points out that Frostburn has an adventure with a simulacrum Old white dragon. It's still an old dragon, with...

The fact that wall of fire doesn't affect objects by description or by the stormwrack table is an interesting addition to the argument. (I saw the comment but then forgot to factor it in my reply earlier) In that light, I'll change my opinion to not affecting the arrow. But if there were a...

In your options 1 & 3, the DC as mentioned would be independent of caster level, feats, and other factors. Clearly set by the formula or 10+spell level+min ability score modifier. In option 2. you further have to delineate between the default save, or casters save. It would probably be the...
