If you couldn't treat the PC's allies as an "enemy" for the purposes of the Domination, then I think an argument could be made that you cannot in fact attack your allies at all. After all, there is no "change in loyalties" that would cause you to attack your friends. What's the difference...

Yep, I understand completely. And if I were a rules lawyer (and I'm not using that derogatorily here), I'd be in 100% agreement and would not allow it at my table. But on the other hand, there's also a "spirit of the law" angle I'm seeing too. I can totally see the scene: the rogue...

I can see why this has been an "unsolved" topic in the past. Honestly I could see "enemy" going either way with regards to this situation. On the one hand, RAW your allies are not your enemies, but on the other hand it's the big bad that's in charge of your action, and your allies are...

Ahh, good point! Kind of a strange side-effect I hadn't considered. :blush:

No issues with either Fantasy Realms or d20 Pro, connecting from Denver to Japan. YMMV. :)

Hmmm, having just pulled up my PHB and the Compendium, I'm actually going to change my mind. In the entry for Dominated, it says "The creature also grants combat advantage and can’t flank." In the entry for Sneak Attack in the PHB, it says "Once per round, when you have combat advantage..."...

As long as the action is an at-will, and is a standard, minor, or move action, the dominating creature can make him do it. eta: remember that it's only a single action though, so the dominator can't make him move and then attack.

No no no...Otyugh will be a class. :p

Sounds like a mix of Paranoia and Shutter Island. I approve. :D

PDFs are great for published works, but I would not be a big fan of a PDF. I'd rather have something I could reference online without the baggage that comes with a PDF. Going back to the Wiki idea, you wouldn't even need to PDFify it. You just put it out there and never have to worry about...

Heh, you think it's gonna be that long huh? :p

Exactly. The idea is that you have a content platform that's easy to update, whether it's just updatable by a few or by many.

Sounds good to me. A Wiki sounds like it would work real well for this.

Yeah you could add it to any set of armor, really. In fact, if you look at the Goblin Hexer creature, it has a similar ability to get you started for statting it out 4e-style. Man, that takes me back. Thing I'll pull out my BoVD for some light bedtime reading tonight. :devil:

Logged out of DDI, I was able to pull the article down. Disregard, I am dumb. Yep, it's DDI-only. :o

Ah but Vecna's undead. :p :D Ehh, that's kinda not cool.

Heh, and wasn't question 2 answered somewhere else? So this is the new "Sage Advice" huh? :hmm:

Just be careful that you don't run them out of surges when they hit the tomb. :)

Well yeah, I do get annoyed at the occasional "Essentials is 4.5" etc comments, agreed. Heh, MatthewJHanson has you covered. :lol: (and thanks!)

You might be able to customize the Lost in the Wilderness skill challenge on page 79 of the DMG. It's pretty basic, but should give you a decent template to start with.
