In response to the OP complaining that the DM "changed his gaming style", I just want to add: Metagaming what the DM will do is a great way to get your PC killed. Looks like you learned that lesson the hard way. Rather than blaming the DM for that, blame yourself. You shouldn't have been...

I've never heard that, but I laughed. I was thinking more along the lines of the fact that they act as a key to produce the magic as if the magic comes from within or around the caster or components. Not that they are magical components. And not that this matters, cause it's in relation to my...

I just don't hold that much value to my PC gear. It probably has to do with my introduction to D&D being 2nd Edition Dark Sun, PCs having very little gear of worth in that setting, and the fact that I lost all of my gear on 3 separate occasions in that campaign. So I was molded to be like that I...

Yeah it was. How did you know that? Is the Will-o-Wisp a known (sucky) random encounter for that 1st adventure? Our group would have had a chance to defeat it with a little luck and due to our PCs being well built. But the fact is, they didn't retreat like they said they would. Sometimes I...

I don't know man. All I can say at this point is if a player came at me with that line of logic, I'd laugh and assume he's just trying to use a loophole and take advantage of a spell, knowing dang well that he knows he's full of crap. It's an antimagic area, so how can you cast a spell, while in...

You just said that it is RAW that you can cast within the area, but saying that it doesn't say you can't does not make it RAW. So basically, it's not RAW and you are making an assumption or an interpretation. I don't really understand why you would come to that conclusion. It needs to be...

I run a Planescape game. I do it all of the time. I just played in a guys Pathfinder game where he rolled a random encounter (Will-o-Wisp vs a 1st level party). He felt bad and gave us the choice to encounter it. The group said yes, so I went along with it even though I would have voted no. I...

Here, maybe this will help with your interpretation of "point of origin": 3.5 PHB, page 175, Burst, Emanation, or Spread: (paragraph on the right hand side of the page): "you select the spell's point of origin and measure its effect from that point." also "You select the point of origin, and...

But that has nothing to do with what D&D means when the rules refer to "point of origin". I explained what "point of origin" refers to in the rules, and that's a RAW explanation, not an interpretation. What you are explaining is an interpretation for what the "point of origin" is. Otherwise...

Please show me the written source in the SRD that says that you can cast a spell within an anti-magic zone and have it work outside of the area. I don't see it.

This sounds just like something one of my players would be saying in the same situation. My response is (and what I would say to him) is, "Wasn't round 1 warning enough?" I've heard players say that the DM should have given fair warning about the power level of an NPC, but isn't that a lot...

When there is any rules talk about "point of origin", it is referring to where the spell is both targeted and executed. A "pointing digit" is not the "point of origin". "Pointing digit" means, "I am pointing my finger." Sure, you can say that it is the "point from where it was fired", but that...

I think this is one of those situations where people over-analyze something which is really pretty straight forward when you use common sense. Forget about "interpretations" and mechanical mumbo jumbo for a minute, and picture what this spell is supposed to represent. It is an area where magic...

I know he's a little tall to be Tyrion and there is no chariot, but maybe this will make you feel a bit better? http://www.rpglocker.com/oryan/jump.html

Thanks! BTW, I'm looking for an artistic type to paint a bunch (like 200+) plastic miniatures for me in the near future. If you know anyone in the area that would be interested in getting paid to do that for me, have them email me at oryan1977 at yahoo dot com. :)

Sure. Keep in mind these are not original drawings of mine and I used artwork I gathered from the web. So I can't really give the proper credit to each original artist because I don't know that info (I never intended to share these). I like to Photoshop existing portraits because it is faster...

It's cool to see some fellow graphic artist & animator gamers in the bay area. I do graphics & Flash animation for Stanford University. Although Stanford just sold our license so I may not have this job much longer. What other kind of art have you guys done for the game? Do any of you guys...

Am I seeing this right? An 11 year old thread necromancy? You sir, are very powerful! I had a blast playing an 11th level Rogue with 3 levels of Swashbuckler & 2 levels of Fighter in City of the Spider Queen (3.5 edition). I wanted a utility character, and playing this PC is when I learned...

This is my attempt at converting the 3rd Edition Wild Cohort feat to Pathfinder. The original feat can be found here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20031118a I tried to make it so that it is weaker than even a Ranger's animal companion (effective druid level -3) while still being...

I have a player using a Dwarf Paladin PC that wants to eventually own a Dire Boar Paladin Mount. Out of curiosity, I'm also wondering if this can be accomplished with Animal Companions? Is there an official way of handling this in Pathfinder? I can also use 3.5 sources if I need it. If there is...
