That depends on a few things - how much metamagic that wizard can stack on that Fireball, for one; how many (and which) immunities the target has, for another.

Two things: 1) Emptying his glass isn't really needed - potions are one ounce, which is not all that much. You might need to empty a shot glass a bit, but a cup of wine? Hardly going to notice. 2) They affect the imbiber. You don't really need to walk away from the guy who just swallowed a...

Yep. For a lich, potions of Inflict X wounds make perfect sense, for instance.

It's not hard. Price: Spell Level * Caster level * 50 gp + Cost of any expensive component + 5*XP cost in GP. Restrictions: Casting time: 1 minute or less. Spell level: 3rd or less Target: Any other than "Personal"

Let's see if I can guess... If it's a gaze like the Spirit Naga has, then it is as Charm Person. It doesn't give a clear definition of what constitutes "threatened or attacked". So... let's look at something similar. Maybe the Fascinated condition: (emphasis added) Under the "find the most...

It kinda does, actually. Errata is usually used for minor changes in the rules. Ah, but fruitful to whom? The publisher makes a hefty sum if that happens... These judges are known as DM's... or maybe "Rules of the Game" writers... or maybe take a look at the FAQ.... then there's WotC Customer...

Gray Elf is specifically in the Monster Manual (and made it into the SRD). Draconic is from Races of the Dragon, which is very much not Core.

Well, yes. But they could just as easily have written that exception into the Globe of Invulnerability description just as they did for putting metamagic on scrolls. But tell me: Which is a bigger deal: A Wizard-9 putting out ... a Maximized, Empowered, Energy Admixtured, Twinned, Split Ray...

Technically? You can use Shadow Evocation to duplicate a Maximized, Empowered, Twinned, Split Ray, Chained, Energy Admixtured Scorching Ray, if you want. The Reason: (Emphasis added) So for all that metamagic, it's still a 2nd level spell as far as the rules are concerned (although making...

So it was good for you, too?

Yes, given the subject matter of the thread, I was curious to see who would be the first to fall for the deliberate pun in public. Seriously, the thrust of that one was hard to miss. I could have put it to bed with something a bit more subtle, but I figured I could drive the point home with it...

Actually, it generally reproduces when a DM decides that the party is getting much too cocky.

The general case is simple; they're built that way. There's also the arbitrary "Half Fey" template (Fiend Folio, of all places). One answer that could be used: Satyrs and Nymphs are actually the same species. Very strong case of sexual dimorphism. Dryads are formed from a specific type of...

In order to actually use the spell out of a spellbook, you need to be able to prepare it, which banned schools, or not having the slot to power it, prevents.

Champions of Valor for Sword of the Arcane Order; Battle Blessing is from Complete Champion. But really, as few spells as the Paladin gets, and as late as they get them, and as suboptimal a class as the Paladin is to begin with, it's not really much of a balance concern for the most part...

Copying a spell is lacking the restriction on being able to cast it, so by most readings, yes, this is legal. Of course, you're spending... what, around 4,000 gp? ... at low-ish levels for a benefit where the campaign might never reach there... Normal banning, yes. Red Mage Banning is...

It doesn't make simulationist sense. Like HP, it's not supposed to. It does, however, do it's job. There is a significant difference between what your earlier posts were very strongly implying and what your later posts said. If you're in the middle of a firefight (which doesn't generally...

The dice might be the same, but you're effectively changing the action type, which makes it vastly different. Sure, you're making the check in that first standard action, but you're adding the requirement that the character remain there, doing nothing of particular use to the survival of the...

If both Flying and Burrowing are options, you can actually get 26 people in on it before you've got two people in one square. I was simply defending the possibility of a number I pulled off the top of my head. Quite correct. It is. It is to make the game more fun for most players. What...

Presumably, two of them are flying. It's surprisingly common in D&D.
