    Spell Converter?

    I'd tend to agree. With the added benefit of being able to be powered by spell items, I'd say more like 750. Same price as a wand of the same level. I'll pitch the idea to my DM and see what he thinks, in addition to tossing the item up on a couple forums (fori?) at that price to get other...

    Spell Converter?

    Keyed items, that's it- I was looking for it in WotC sources, so couldn't find it. Hm. For some reason I thought you could convert wand charges with it, too. I wonder how much more valuable an keyed item would be if you could power it from scrolls, staves & wands. It'd sure be handy for...

    Spell Converter?

    I'm looking for an item that will convert a spell (be it cast from a slot or a spell trigger/completion item) to a single spell of the same level. Like a wand without charges you could power either yourself or with another wand. I know I've seen things like this, but can't put my finger on...

    SmokeSticks

    Since all we've got to go on is 'it's like this spell except in this way', I'd say use the spell's duration at the minimum caster level. You mean concealement in all these cases. What you describe sounds reasonable to me, but I'm curious to see how others weigh in. Haven't seen any yet, but...

    A Wand Wielding Warlock Wonders...

    I think it doesn't mention the save because it only lists what is different from confusion.

    A Wand Wielding Warlock Wonders...

    Actually, I was considering a wand of lesser vigor for out-of-combat healing. And regarding the possibility of acquiring ranger- or druid-made wands, my DM was kind enough to accept my proposal for a fey-based warlock, rather than fiendish. I'll be leveraging a high charisma and a nature-based...

    A Wand Wielding Warlock Wonders...

    Error on my part- I meant to write "Resist Energy (Rgr1)", taking advantage of the one level jump they get on that spell over other casters.

    A Wand Wielding Warlock Wonders...

    By 4th level, my warlock should be able to use wands with spells from any class list. What are the best spells to cherry-pick for wands? Spells that are either unique to a class spell list or not highly dependant on caster level- or both. My first scan through the SRD reveals a few low-level...

    Detect magic vs invis

    Let this be a lesson to me not to post until I've consulted the SRD. Or until Hyp's already weighed in so I don't have to. :p

    Detect magic vs invis

    LoS to the Aura I would interpret that to mean you must have line of sight to the aura that is being examined, not line of sight to whatever is giving off that aura. It's the aura that's being examined, after all, and it is visible.

    Dark Speech & the Warlock

    While I'm quite aware that the alignment requirement is Evil or Chaotic. However, when your DM rules that every time your conspicuously one-trick pony does his trick, he's performing an evil act- well, problems arise. Look at all the 'flavor' of a warlock. Does any of it scream "Chaotic...

    Dark Speech & the Warlock

    Do you think the warlock class was balanced with such considerations in mind? If a player in your game were interested in playing a warlock of a different flavor, would you accept a house ruled version of the class that was mechanically equivalent? Do you think the invocation baleful...

    Dark Speech & the Warlock

    So you're saying a CG warlock either cannot choose (or use) baleful utterance or that doing so will erode his alignment from good to neutral to evil. Anyone else play with this interpretation?

    Dark Speech & the Warlock

    After scanning the rules listed in the Book of Vile Darkness for Dark Speech, I'm left with a few questions- Is dark speech widely recognizable as such? Is dark speech easily recognizable as evil? Is speaking a word of it an evil act? Having a warlock waiting in the wings, I'm curious about...

    Destroying Incoming Ranged Attacks

    Yeah, I reckoned that, too. I could see specific situations where it would be useful- protecting a downed ally from being finished off or some such, but it's hardly the sort of tactic that'd be useful often aside from at the very low levels. It is, however, packed with flavor and brought up...

    Destroying Incoming Ranged Attacks

    So some folks seem to think it's within the rules, others cast doubt. It seems the question hinges on the duration of the action you intend to interrupt. I've always thought readying an action was about being very specific about the triggering conditions, but this is another twist...

    Destroying Incoming Ranged Attacks

    Would it be possible for a warlock to ready an action to shatter an incoming dagger or arrow once it was in the air and therefore no longer attended?

    Sudden Maxmized Explosive Runes

    items? If applying the sudden metamagic feats doesn't raise the spell level, how does that affect item creation? Is a wand of suddenly maximized magic missile more expensive to create than a normal wand? Anyone got a rules citation? You can use the feat once per day, but you only need to...

    LA for Half-Golems?

    If you're just going for story value, just use the stats for a warforged from Eb. If you're just going for munchiness... well, good luck.

    (PHB2) Knight's Challenge - how effective?

    An obviously suicidal one, however, would qualify you as mindless in my book.
