Sniping I recall reading the Sniping rules in the PHB but can't seem to dig them up in the SRD. Would someone do me the kindness of either linking me to them or quoting them? IIRC, when sniped against, the defender get's a +20 bonus to the Spot check. Yet if the attacker has total...

they are In this case, it seems as if all the objects below 30hp of the chosen matreial are targetted by the effect.

Im the DM in Question Being the DM in question I first want to laud Mistwell for trying to find ways to enhance the roleplaying value of his character. With that in mind I hope to be open-minded about the changes he's considering. I am somewhat concerned with balance issues, however. The...

why a dino? The first reason I chose a deinonychus as his primary wildshape (and as his animal companion) was because the party had already encountered some that had been tamed by the baddies. The pounce is nice- but so are all those racial skill bonuses. "A deinonychus has a +8 racial bonus...

what works and what doesn't Wilding Clasp is just the sort of suggestion I was looking for, but I didn't see anything like that in the Complete Divine. Is that an indication of the 'pretty much all of it works' mindset WotC has on wildshape? I'm the DM in question, so I make the call- and it...

I've got a druid that's entering play at 9th level- an NPC going PC as our game picks up a player. He just got 5th level spells, so I'm picturing his moment of glory involving wild-shaping into a Deinonychus- matching his animal companion- summoning another couple, and then casting Animal...

coolness <> balance While I think it's cool, too, I'd compare it with Levitate- a 2nd level spell. Levitate restricts your movement to a single dimension, Floating Disk restricts you to two. Levitate gives a penalty to attacks, Floating Disk doesn't. Levitate is a 2nd level spell, Floating...

that'd be me I use klooge werks in precisely that manner- I project maps and the players move their icons around or point where they'd like to go with a laser pointer. Fog of war is only the beginning of its usefulness. You can define effects to apply to icons- say haste, for example. Define...

cloakers I recently dm'd a few cloakers who happen to have a spell-like ability which mimics mirror image. I'd considered having them all be in the same square, but decided against it because while you're unlikely to mistake several images of a wizard for several wizards, with them spread out...

must-have Were the feat to be interpreted that way I would suspect it of being too good. What cleric wouldn't take a feat that affected all of those spells, considering the frequency with which they're cast?

fast healing The vigor spells don't actually heal themselves, but rather grant the fast healing ability and therefore do not fall under the jurisdiction of augmented healing. Or so my addled mind seems to think.

i'd buy the wall If my players were creative enough to think of Wall of Whale, I'd let 'em do it. If they were good, though, I'd make 'em feel the cruelty of it. And since whales breathe air, you don't have to worry about your wall suffocating and *poof*ing into thick air.

please Snuffalopagi.

legalistic I'd like to see exactly what legalistic reading would explain the removal of an enchantment from a signature weapon. The idea of this dopelweapon, this weapon that can change from day to day, hardly seems signature. Plus, this ability would be a significant enough increase in the...

shove 'em around If you're a fan of grease, look at the Player's Guide to Faerun, as there are several low-level spells that do a force-effect bullrush on the target. Fun to shove them off cliffs, into pits, onto your grease- not to mention to get that sneaky, ethereal, level-draining specter...

cite? I'm curious what rule you'd cite supporting your assertion that enhancements can be removed and replaced with different ones. There are stated rules for adding enhancements, but none for removing them.

doubt it Unless there's text saying that they can, they can't. General rule.

we all do There was actually a Dragon article a couple years back about music to D&D to. We used to listen to a Live365 net radio station called WDND.

vigor Why is it then that every psionic build I see mentioned uses stacked vigors? Does it explicitly say that it stacks in the power description? And if so, why for vigor and not for false life?

how i ruled it Thanks for the various replies! How I ruled it last night in the game was that sound and smell DO pass through, in both directions. Light only passes INTO the rope-trick- and i ruled as a corrolary that the effects of light-based spells do, too, though this is blatantly a...
