And that is just what it is: a rumor. Vic Wertz on the Paizo boards said that while the books are on shore, they haven't cleared customs and thus could be delayed a little or a lot. BUT, their best guess is that they will be able to start shipping them out in Mid-October for subscribers, and...

I know they are the same, but why not call the spell "Silence, 30' Diameter" or have the effect line say "Area of Effect: 15' Radius". Just struck me as odd to use both terms. *shrug* As for weirder things in D&D, I direct your attention to "The Forest Oracle"....

Make mine a Fat Tire and it's a deal! :D

I'd say unattended noisy items do, yeah. Of course, if a +1 shield were silenced.. who'd notice? Again, I think the spell is worded as it is because of weird stand-alone magical noisemakers. I never understood why Silence is an Illusion(Glammer). It really should be Transmutation, IMO. *goes...

The plural as used for items is used explicitly because A) only unattended magic items ever get a save and B) it's talking about unattended magic items that make noise, a la singing swords or self-playing harps. Every unattended noise-making magic item does get a save, IMO. Secondly, you say...

Call me old fashioned, but when someone is describing something to me in the singular, I tend to think of that something acting on only ONE thing. If they use the plural, they mean more than one thing. If there is room for confusion, they specify. Like how the spell uses the singular "AN...

Several of the NPCs from the first installment of RotRL are converted at the Pathfinder SRD site.

Yeah, special rules do apply. That's how everyone else has been reading the spell the way I (and you as well, until this thread came along) have been using Silence in their games. Will neg (as read in the text) doesn't negate the spell for the one not-targeted-but-instead-centered, it negates...

Precisely. The sentence I underlined above is the part referrenced by "see text". Despite the peroid sparating the two sentences I described, it's not a paragraph break nor are they unrelated. Pawsplay is quite fixated on the lack of a "Target" line, even though "see text" usually supercedes the...

Ok, let's look at this again. Silence is a non-instantaneous area of effect spell with a Will save. Let's compare it to other non-instantaneous are of effect spells that grant a will save. I understand there is no "Target" entry for this spell, but that doesn't mean it can't "target" (no...

The spell quite specifically says in it's description that it can be cast on a point in space or on a person or object. Fireball has no such wording. Likewise, Fireball is a spread, Silence is an emanation. Fireball's save line says "Reflex half", Silence says "Will negates or none (object)"...

Fireball and Glitterdust are both spreads, not emanations, and neither have "Save: Object none" in their entries.

Objects don't get a save. The spell is centered on a creature, object or point in space, and it's an area emanation. Unless I'm missing something, you only get a save if you are the target, but SR applies whenever the protected creature is affected, regardless of when.

1) It's identical to 3.5 2) the Fortitude Negates is for the paralysis. The stench is a secondary effect that also grants a Fortitude save. In keeping with other changes to PRPG, they might have wanted to allow round-by-round saves to negate the paralysis, but I'm not that concerned about it...

Several of these are the same as in 3.5. I also noted that while the armor check penalty for swim isn't doubled, the fact itself was mentioned twice in your list! Oh sweet sweet irony. Otherwise, it looks pretty spot on from what I've seen, minus the minimum enhancement bonus to damage magic...

I rediscovered page 174 the other night. I was quoting from the magic item description chapter. While I think the +2/+10 is a cut & paste error for that section, it is possible the designers did intend for both results. In 3.5, the part about the extra hardness is also in the DMG's magic item...

Silence requires a save too, when you cast it right at someone. If you don't, they can always move away. Nah, cast it on the fighter's sword (or better yet, the monk's fist) and send them off to wail away at him. That's the real reason for the Expeditious Retreat, to get away from the monk!!

I really don't understand what your point here is. They put out RAR, limited it to 1000 copies at $75 each and sold out pretty much immediately. They did it again with City of Brass. Then WotC announced 4th ed and a suicidally restrictive GSL, so NG decided not to participate. What does one...

So? I was listing ways out of a silenced area for a 3rd level wizard, not popular ways out of a silnced area for a 3rd level wizard. The point holds, the cleric has a non-discriminating weapon for use against casters (15' radius will nix any friendly casters near the victim as well), but it's...
