I would not permit this--if you're in the area of effect you're already being hit. You have to go on the information you have before the spell goes off. "If the wizard casts an AOE spell" would be fine but you don't know where it's going to hit unless it shows signs (see my above post...

Yes and no. I would permit it but reduce it to giving him improved evasion rather than an auto-succeed. However, there will be situations where it won't work. Say, for example, you're in a 10' corridor and you see a fireball coming your way, what do you do? Your options are basically ahead...

The square-cube law at work. But they're going to figure out there's someone behind that moving tower shield. That's not a stupid rule, that's a stupid monster design.

Which is overpriced for simply a speech item--note that it does more than simply let you speak a language.

Nah, the wishgiver was simply hard of hearing and missed part of the wish.

Can we rename this the thread of bad pronouns?

A succubus is capable of conceiving and bearing children--that's female. True, although I doubt there's anywhere in D&D-land with such laws. Nobody could afford to be that much of a nanny-state back then.

In most cases I would be inclined to agree with you but the succubus is a special case--her role is to be *FEMALE*. It matters not that she's incapable of reproduction. Is my wife no longer female?

There are no non-human pronouns. It's male/female/non-gendered, humanity doesn't matter. People often use the non-gendered form when they don't know the gender of an animal but that's because of not knowing, not because they're not human.

Succubus, its???????

Yup, I don't see the problem either. She's a teflon monk as has been referred to upthread. She's not much else, though. Imagine a party made up of a bunch of her--would they fight at level? I rather think not.

It sounds like time for Animate Object!

If you had it when the resist was cast, or for an extended period while using a permanent item then I would rule you can't light it. If it was recently picked up after the spell was cast (including put down and then picked back up) then it's not protected and burns normally. I figure they...

That's how I see it, also. Even if the initial attack lit stuff on fire I would look at the damage from the fire, if it's fully suppressed then so is the fire.

I address the scry-buff-teleport by ruling that scrying doesn't give you enough info to teleport. I let you teleport to: 1) Places you have been. 2) Places you have a suitable description of--anyone who can teleport knows what's needed in the description. It would be unusual for anyone...

Actually, if you tried to use dust of sneezing and choking against something I would rule that it gets you instead. It's cursed after all!

I had a thought here--this isn't really very useful. You make it disappear, it loses it's gaze for one round but gets an advantage in attacking you with it's natural weapons. That dispels the invisibility and he can use the gaze the round thereafter.

So long as they aren't trying to fight saddles usually won't matter. I do agree that climbing would be an issue, though.

26. A wand that unerringly points to the nearest "treasure" (it has no charges, it simply points if allowed to do so.) Unfortunately, the creator of this item was seeking Orc/Centaur porn and that's the only type of treasure it points to. 27. A seeker arrow. It will unerringly find it's...

I would most specifically not make it money, nor anything else that can be bought.
