    psychic warrior - the killing machine

    You mean Point Blank Shot for Gaul's first level feat, don't you? Or is there some other reason s/he's taking Rapid Shot twice without the prerequisite? ;) Vurt

    Oops. I could have swore I looked for that first. Must've been looking in the wrong spot. Thanks for the correction! Vurt

    All right, you won me over with the ruling, but that doesn't mean I gotta like it! :D Vurt

    Magic Missile vrs. Displacement

    Wizards need to study this effect a bit more to figure out how to make their fireballs behave the same way! ;) The physicist in me shudders. Vurt

    Magic Missile vrs. Displacement

    See invisibility is designed to, well, see invisible. It's a counter spell, and yes I agree that counter spells should be lower level than the spell or effect they're countering. Magic missile, however, is not a counter spell, it's a direct damage spell. It's purpose isn't to foil other...

    Magic Missile vrs. Displacement

    I guess my problem is I want this to somehow make sense, when really all it is is a bunch of stats in a book interacting with one another. But that's no fun! :D For instance, you can sort of fake a displacement spell with an invisibility and a major image, so long as you don't actually attack...

    Magic Missile vrs. Displacement

    To me that just means you can still aim at him, as opposed to if the target was invisible. So the missiles would automatically "hit", but still suffer the 50% miss chance of hitting the wrong target. I respectfully disagree. I think there's enough room to still leave it open to...

    psychic warrior - the killing machine

    Believe me, this doesn't happen very often! Thanks! :D Oh, and to keep things marginally on topic, I don't think you can have +5 impact spiked gauntlets. Impact only works on bludgeoning weapons (as per Magic of Faerun, p.140), but spiked gauntlets are considered piercing. Hence what you...

    Magic Missile vrs. Displacement

    I'd rule that unless the wizard had something providing the effects of true seeing up, her magic missiles would target the displacement effect unerringly. Hence I'd apply the 50% miss chance on each missile as per normal for the displacement spell. Vurt

    psychic warrior - the killing machine

    Actually, I think this is allowed because he's using the Graft Weapon power on of his guantlets to graft them to his hands. It's the Graft Weapon that gives you the weapon's +5 enhancement bonus to your unarmed attack. That's my understanding of it. Vurt

    Cool. Thanks for the heads-up. Much appreciated! Edit: Funny how Volo on the cover looks a lot like Ed Greenwood! :D Vurt

    [FR] Forgotten Realms Setting products discussion

    For my campaign, the most used rulebooks I own in order are: 1) The Player's Handbook 2) The Silver Marches 3) Monster Manual I've only started with the Forgotten Realms with 3e, don't own any of the older material, so in that light I find that the Silver Marches book is absolutely...

    3.5e Ranger... Little Improvement But Still...

    A reasonable arguement. And I would answer "possibly". But if you've never trained to fight with the TWF style in heavy armour, is it also reasonable to expect that as soon you don a set of full plate you'll be able to do all the things you were able to do previously? The question then...

    3.5e Ranger... Little Improvement But Still...

    Errr... Is this not what I wrote? First level goes by so fast you generally don't notice it. BOOM! You're suddenly back in business. Why? I still don't see a problem with them. *SHRUGS* And it's "combat styles" buddy, get used to it! :D i.e. a rose by any name smells the same. If all...

    3.5e Ranger... Little Improvement But Still...

    But D&D is filled with exactly this type of thing all the time! Watch as I mischeviously twist your own words. (And please don't think I'm trying to be overly antagonistic, that's not my intent. I'm really trying to be a little tongue-in-cheek with this, the whole absurdity leads to paradox...

    3.5e Ranger... Little Improvement But Still...

    Much like a rogue taking the medium and heavy armour feats to sneak attack in heavy armour, there's nothing preventing the 3.5 ranger from taking TWF in addition to their combat path abilities to fight with two weapons in medium armour without penalty. In both cases you spend one of your feat...

    The Unity of Rings (drnuncheon's Online Planescape Story Hour) - Pilot (7/20)

    Nice! Much better than the tried and true: "And just as the informant is about to reveal the name of the bad guy, a shot rings out and a bullet crashes through the nearby window and the informant's brainpan in quick succession."

    what is the best non-wotc/tsr module?

    James, I'd like to make the suggestion that when Kevin's contract comes up for renewal, you stipulate somewhere in there in very fine print that he has to update his storyhour at least once every three days. Please! Vurt

    DM Advice needed re: unfortunate character death [long]

    OK, first I want to thank everyone for their comments and advice. The players all wanted to resolve this ASAP, so today we got together and had a bit of a talk about the chain of events that happened and how they conspired to kill the party rogue. The clerical error *cough* was just one...
