Does Rope Trick prevent the sound the party makes from passing beyond the invisible window? Does the party have to be concerned that people below might hear them?

One of my players just took Rope Trick and the party is greatly enjoying the safe recuperation time it's been giving them. The PC in question is just about to turn 8th, at which point the spell really starts to gleam. What have been the most clever uses you've seen for this spell? The best...

Proposed house rule re Endure Elements: In 3.5 they nerfed it because elemental resistance is now treated on an attack-by-attack basis, rather than a round-by-round. I like that idea and want to use those rules, but don’t like the way Endure Elements was nerfed. So here’s the compromise I...

Spiritual Weapon can get multiple attacks due to high BAB. If the target of the spiritual weapon moves, does the spiritual weapon then have to move during its turn and if so, does it then only get a single attack? Does it just automatically stick to its target, moving when it moves, so it...

Does a golem's immunity to spells allow it to see someone with invisibility cast on them? I ruled no, as the spell isn't targetted at the golem, but it gave me pause. first time i ran a golem... they fled. :]

off guard I assume those are the rules under circumstances when one is able to take a breath first. I'd consider applying a penalty to the Con checks if the person was pulled under while flatfooted.

not as cheap I wouldn't use the same rules as repairing an item- that costs half the gold & xp as the original and the repairer needs to be able to make a new version of the item. If you use these rules you get a new wand for half off when you've drained it. I don't know if there are specific...

In AU I understand that AU's magic system is handled differently- that's one reason it's an exotic spell. Exotic spells tend to be a bit high on the power scale for their level. It doesn't sound like I'm getting the scandalized responses I'd thought I might get, though...

I recently discovered the spell Lion's Charge from Savage Species and am trying to incorporate it into an Arcana Unearthed game. It allows a full attack after a charge. I hadn't considered such a spell unbalancing (i've yet to see it in action) but have heard others say it's ludicrously so...

touch ac Hm. I'd thought that if the attack hits the touch AC, you touch the target, regardless of whether you were attacking normally or as a touch attack. I thought it would be like the rules for cover- if you miss by the amount the cover added, you hit the cover. If you miss by the amount...

I'm holding the charge on a touch spell. I attack with natural weaponry- a claw attack. I don't hit the AC, so the weapon deals no damage, but I do hit the touch AC. Does the spell go off? [edit: specified claw]

safefall in AU I like the spell equivalent in AU, Safefall. Your fall speed doesn't change, you just land safely. I like the image of plummeting to the ground from a great height, landing in a crouch, then bounding off.

don't forget s.a. And recall that any spell requiring an attack roll can do sneak attack damage as well.

Just recently noticed that, according to the rules, you can't throw a dagger witout either getting an AOO or a -2 penalty. You only don't take a penalty if the target is closer than the range increment, and the only thing closer than 10' is 5', which means you'll be taking an AOO. I suppose...

This aspect of it makes me long for a store that deals with mini's sensibly, having all the minis be searchable from a terminal by keywords &c. Just have all the minis in the backroom, stored efficiently, and a clerk can go back and get the one you want. That way, instead of scanning the lines...

While I know all the item creation guidelines are just that- guidelines, I'm seeking help in the determination of the proper enhancement-equivalent values for arms & armor. I never did like the fact that you can't use the same guidelines you would for constant items on A&A. Basically I've...

good point It should be priced like a single-use item. Would you still require the A&A feat? Or both it and either BP or CW? Hm. Yet another example where the AU item creation system shines in comparison...

Look at the respective attack bonuses. TWF, Manyshot- they all cause your attack bonus to take a hit for the pleasure of getting in those extra attacks. AND you have to burn a feat, at that. With the ray spells, you make several attacks- all with your highest attack bonus. Now, I don't have...

3.5, though I'm running a 3.0 game where it might become an issue. How does it make a difference? 3.5 Poly allows the (Ex) attacks of the creature, but that doesn't seem to apply in this case. Sure, girallons don't use equipment, but I think that's more to do with the fact that they're too...

greater mage hand Or, use the 3rd level spell from Magic of Faerun, Greater Mage Hand. Holder of object gets a Will save. I've thought of creating a 2nd level spell that only works on objects in hand- GMH works on all sorts of things. I've also got a caster who's into spidery things- a...
