The 'don't use real world' group would point out the spell effect doesn't mention time spent in the wall of fire, you take the same damage whether you 5' step, walk, run, or are shot through a cannon. So it still all falls back to DM's balance between "common sense" and RAW. Even within RAW...

I'll drop my 2cp. You have total concealment behind a wall of fire. You have the choice of halving the fire damage to an arrow or doubling it. There arn't examples of what objects are vulnerable, so it's DM's choice. Both make some sense when you consider it is wood, but not splintered wood...

The first sentence says you need 8 hours of sleep, the second sentance says the rest can't be interrupted. The second sentence doesn't contradict the first. The listen skill says you wake up. However, it also says you MAY make a check. Looks like you don't have to make the check in the first...

I was going to comment on that to, but must have edited it out. I used to use that note about skill checks to rule that a wizard (Elven or with a ring of sustenance) couldn't spend his waking hours on watch. Now, I'm thinking that might be ridiculous for opposed checks. No movement, no...

I suspect you are right. A wand of cause deafness, and wand of cure deafness is what it would take to auto fail. Or wall of stone/iron etc and blink/dim door in and out etc... or rope trick. Thanks for the suggestions. IF the penalty is only -4 to listen, it might be worth while to run...

Well, the sonic attack section is 3.5 and the auto save for sonic mind-effects is RAW, and no save bonus to other sonic attacks is also spelled out by RAW. So I disagree with your +2 bonus to saves claim. I also agree with keeping bonuses to skill checks in line (+2) and be carefull about...

Well, I wanted to not be woken, so I didn't add an hour to my rest each time I awoke. But re-reading the rest requirements, as long as I don't participate in combat it shouldn't add an hour (however the time spent awake would need to be made up). The disruption in my current situation is...

Specifically, I'm trying to not be awoke from sleeping. I'm hoping they make you deaf (auto-fail listen checks) but that might be more powerful than intended. With Combat listen DC at -10, and -10 to listen checks while sleeping, I basically need to fail a DC 0* listen check to sleep through...

You would need to target the single item (not the area effect use of the spell). The held item would grant the wielder a save to negate the effect. If the wielder fails his save, and the item is not magical, it's shattered. Also, I don't know the classes you are talking about, so they might...

Keep reading. "A creature or object brought into being or transported to your location by a conjuration spell cannot appear inside another creature or object, nor can it appear floating in an empty space. It must arrive in an open location on a surface capable of supporting it."

I don't see that argument going far. With the RAW ruling that the images occupy separate squares, the images shift when the caster moves. The caster doesn't blink amongst the images, his location is always finitely defined. Once you know what square he occupies (like from an ally making a...

In all fairness, you aren’t alone if you rule against RAW: Old Poll about Magic Missle and Mirror Image and Slightly more recent discussion

No this gets into valid target. For most spells a figment isn't a valid target. The touch attack destryoys the mirror image. The now disipated image is not a valid target. The charge is held.

If you care, there are free-fall speed records (wearing speed suits to maximize terminal velocity) that calculate out to 1200 or 1300 ft/round. I couldn't find any real world terminal velocity rates for trying to slow yourself, let alone in various types of armor. Adding acceleration to...

No, it does not prevent the AoO. AoO occur before the action that provokes them is resolved. Drinking a potion or Casting a spell, the AoO is resolved before the action is complete. LEAVING a threatened square provokes an AoO, so the attack is resolved before you complete you move out of the...

Sorry for the side tracking, but did the Magic Item Compendium add metamagic rods for the rest of the metamagic feats, or are these limited to the ones in the Complete Arcane? Those all seem fairly priced, the lesser ones at least arn't available much before a caster would have been able to use...

And in the Combat while mounted section: "You can use ranged weapons while your mount is taking a double move, but at a –4 penalty on the attack roll. You can use ranged weapons while your mount is running (quadruple speed), at a –8 penalty. In either case, you make the attack roll when your...

I suppose this starts to overlap with the, 'can you be tripped/prone while under the fly spell discussions'. It's been a while since I've seen one so I don't recall if/what the concensus was. Though gaining +4 AC from ranged attacks while prone on the cieling, wall, mid-air, is counter...

Bah, thought there was something about light shields, but it must have been the part about light load, or mental extension of light armor applied to light shields.

Since, the OP hasn't replied since post 4, I guess he decided not to go with the transformation. Thanks for the post irdeggman, I'll have to see what they suggest. Another cruder way to handle it is how I handle permanant level loss. The same as temporary level loss, so the character in...
