As mentioned it can't be Huge, then it would have to fail two DC 15 reflex saves (in a row). The first failed reflex save entangles it, the second save makes it fall. Personally I think it's worth it, droping it's attacks, AC and reflex saves by two is worth it. If it falls, that's just icing...

I'm thinking stick with your original concept, Barb/Scout. If you have to stand there toe to toe then do so, if you can do better damage moving around then do that. 2 characters arn't going to form much of a defensive line for the third. The druid can move around on his own, plus summon meat...

If you have the points to support wisdom, Cleric. Righeous Might and Divine power and then Rage on top of your +8 str !?!?! Plus additional down time healing, group buffs and so on, and strong will saves. If not, maybe a psionic class that uses strength and or con which should nicely augment...

I'll second the 2 round rule. If the scout turns tail, and the group contiues they could be together in one round. The point isn't so much that the group isn't noticed, it's that the scout isnt. At two rounds ahead, the rogue should get an encounter check two rounds before the rest of the...

Remember that you need to 'peek out behind the coner' by actually moving. This is still usually achievable, but you either occupy a square or not. If you have line of site you don't have total cover, if you have total cover you don't have line of siteuntil you move. Then they get a spot check...

It's worth noting that although the target knows that they shrugged off some compulsion (or whatever). They don't necessarily know the source. It may take some diplomacy to tell the suspected BBEG, to hang on while I cast detect magic and continue our discussion.

I wonder if Quicken spell Feat has been re-written to incorporate the swift terminology. More specifically, do Quicken spells provoke AoO? We've ruled that they don't but I don't know if it's RAW or not.

I'll second that. Unless you build a character with the intention to go into a prestige class for some specific ability, I'm not a huge fan of them. A 60/40 rogue wizard is as good as most of them. (You would have multiclass penalty considerations with most of the prestige class prerequisites...

For core rules, if something's spelled out explicitly I'll follow that (99% of the time). If something is ambigious (like extra spell and learning spells not on class list), I'll usually rule on the conservative side (no). If it's not clear or not covered (my opinion on my closest to cover...

1) Melee attacks through arrow slits, at what penalty, possible? I believe the module noted that you had to be a tiny creature to fit through the opening. a) My in game ruling was (and gut feeling is) you can't fight effectively through a 1' wide hole. b) After a complaint and re-reading...

I agree on this point. "In addition to its regular fire damage, it deals 1 point of splash damage per die, and it ignites any combustible materials within 10 feet." At first I thought that it said in addition to regular fire damage, which would add normal fire damage, but in re-reading it, it...

Sorry, I can't comment on how it works in play. I had looked it over, and considered what spells I would be able to steal, and ended up deciding to play a 50/50 rogue/wizard, or maybe 1/4 rogue/wizard, with use magic device. Max UMD after 10th level and you can afford to buy scrolls of...

He's considering a medium size character occupies a 5'x5'x10' tall square (I know I can touch a 10' cieling). I'm not sure that's core, but seems reasonable considering I don't occupy a 5'x5' square, but would require approximatly that much space to fight effectively with a medium weapon. So...

The PC would be denied dex. Remember range increments 100' over and 100' up is both one range increment and lower ground (don't think lower ground matters for ranged weapons though). Also, you are out of range of sneak attack damage so hiding wouldn't be important. Also with total concealment...

What's the duration of fell flight? The spiderclimb thread mentioned it didn't follow fly spell rules, but I though most of the invocations referenced spells. Wouldn't duration apply too? Similar to a ring of invisibility. Sure you can spend all day invisible, but only if you dedicate...

He's tricksy. You remembered correctly, Area is spread NOT burst. A burst would not affect all sides, a spread would. It's certainly worth remembering that these spells do damage rock and wood. Assuming calculations above are correct, it's a 1/2" stone, and 1" wood? What about a maximized...

How would that be different from a spiderwalking (boots or potion) archer? At 5th level the warlock's blast is 2d6 ranged touch attack. If it's a BBEG with 2 more levels that's 3d6. An Archer could have 3 shots a round with rapid shot and dealing 1d8+3 each hit, hitting two out of three...

I'd say expect to be in melee. Give yourself good strength (16 or more), and con (14 or more), then there is limited benefit of wisdom higher than 20 (16+4), a few extra spells... I don't see skills coming up much in one shot campains, they usually rush right to combat, so dump int, and I'm...

I always start my wizards (and frequently clerics) with a spear. When you are out of appropriate spells, you can 'safely' aid another to give the fighter +1 to attack or AC. It's like a single target bard stick. I had a cleric near the end of a campaign that got a brilliant energy scythe. He...
