1) there is a clear majority consensus. 2) In this case, only by seeking an ambiguity do you find one. 3) If the rules where to even attempt to rule out the slightest ambiguity, we'd have to pay a whole lot more for our books. 4) If in doubt, apply common sense. 5) Compare to how this issue...

spell description is here.

Here follows a list of the spells I'd use in a similar situation. 7th level Destruction (PHB) Greater Restoration (PHB) (If you are facing lots of poison or level drain, but you may be better off loading up on the lower level spell) Holy Word (PHB) Ressurection (PHB) 6th level Banishment...

...or, you could see it that the basic act of saving a life is indeed good, but that the moral value of the act may be mitigated by the intent of doer.

Well the Breath Weapon is stating the obvious. The question remains though, whether the use of the reserve feat (which is, in most cases, a standard action after all) has some sort of "activation display" or whether it can be done completely covertly. Using a breath weapon may be obvious, one...

It does seem to be completely unmentioned in the rules. How strange.

Does the use of a (su) ability give a display or visual clue as to whom is using it? There is no (V,S,M) components. Its not spell-like. So how does anyone know who the source of an (su) effect is? Would/should a hexblade be revealed as such when he uses his curse? Does the use of a...

And I thought there was a forum for 3rd edition house rules....

aboyd: You can Intimidate other players in combat as a standard action to make them shaken. Although why you would choose to do so is a completely different reason. And the reason you can do this, is that it has a very specific game effect, and isn't telling a player that they can't choose to...

Remember, DonVega, that the Diplomacy skill only allows you to influence their general attitude towards you. Hostile => Unfriendly => Indiiferent => Friendly => Helpful It doesn't mean that they are going to obey your every suggestion. They can still be friendly with you, but disagree with...

Hi DonVega, and welcome to the boards. Diplomacy is a tricky skill, because its purpose is to change people's attitudes. The reason you can only do this to NPCs, is that players do need to be in control of their character's actions and attitudes. That is the very heart of why people take up...

Damn... you're right. Just checked the DMG notation and its not there either... wonder where I got that idea?

Psionic Meditation is pretty much a foregone conclusion for a psion: Especially so if they want to utilize metapsionic feats as well.

So, using Overchannel and Talented feats, an 8th level Psion can manifest dispel psionics at tenth Manifester level, d20+10, taking no damage, and can then further increase the bonus by +10 with a further 5 power points. d20+20... seems kind of begging for a house rule, IMO.

1e Monster Manual has a single line stating that there is a chance I get psionics in large clumps. *sigh* It all went down hill from there. I blame Oliver North and Ronald Reagan. I think it had something to do with me winning the popular vote, back in '84 when I had my "Green Slime for...

And remember, I get psionic in large clumps.

Alright, I'll just state that IMO, it is overly complicated.

Nope. Don't like this. Not at all: 1. too many dice rolls: Against a force of 100 skeletons, you are rolling 100 Will saves. 2. Then, you get to roll how many Fort saves to determine the HD that are destroyed? 3. The DM rolls saves for monsters, making this a DM event, rather than a player...

Don't know any players who elected to play a rogue for the disable device ability: I do know players, that, because of expectations, placed skill points in various skills. Most players elect to play rogues cause they like the sneak schtick. That is, Hide, Move Silently, sneak attack, and Open...

Why bother? If they are at best cohorts, then they should only progress and improve as much as you, the DM feel that they should. No point getting worried about miniscule details none of the players are going to care two hoots about. Cohorts aren't supposed to be running around leveling all...
