Eratta removed the fact that magic items can only be damaged by equal or higher plus. The eratta starts: "Delete the first sentence..." The first sentence says: "An attacker cannot damage a magic weapon that has an enhancement bonus unless his own weapon has at least as high as the weapon or...

Thanks Thanee, those were exactly what I was looking for (I must have skimmed rather than read them and that's why I misremembered what they were about). Also, thanks Shin Okada, I will keep those spells and feats in mind. Yeah, wish is kind of out of the choice list though because of the xp...

Yeah, only Core Rules/PHB. And the few home-brewed ones. After looking them over, only two are really good choices: one 7th level and the 6th level for my signature. The 7th level one is a decent damaging spell with the added factor that it teleports myself or an ally next to the target. It is...

The Party (what I know so far) All level 20: Fighter-type probably with prestige classes for optimization Rogue-type ditto on PrCs Barbarian, probably straight with no PrCs Cleric/Druid/Shaman, some kind of divine caster or possibly a bard even, don't really know And a wild card: new player, so...

I am getting to play! No DMing for me this time. It is for a one-shot 20th level adventure. I want to play a 20th level sorcerer (Cha 37 without magic, don't ask, back story takes up many pages). I rarely get to play a character usually being behind the DM screen; so this will be my first time...

So if one enemy had Marked you and you use Split the Tree against two enemies (one of whom is not the Mark-er) and both rolls were the same otherwise; would you get to ignore the -2 attack penalty against the one that didn't mark you? Because this would be the result not the roll. Ciao Dave

When you are slowed and move only one square and (surprise) get the slowed condition removed; you get the rest of your movement that slow restricted. BUT if you move both squares allowed; your movement is ended and slowed is only removed for next turn. Similarly, if you use your only action...

As mentioned previously, Magic Missile requires no attack roll, but is still an attack. Why would CDG not be an attack? Ciao Dave

Speak Languages costs two skill points unless you are a bard. Ciao Dave

Interesting. For a little more on the history of maces, flails, and morningstars (as well as stats for several of the other weapons mentioned in this thread) check out my book: EN Publishing's EN Arsenal #6: Flails, Maces, and Morningstars. I deal with different head-types and why each weapon...

That's why I think mounts should have PrCs. It would give them a needed boost in hp and add some nifty abilities, more feats, and more skill points, too. Ciao Dave

Wait, you only have concealment in obscured squares? What about this? M SSTSFF SsSSFF P M = Monster A S = Heavy Smoke F = Smouldering Fire T = Monster B concealed in Heavy Smoke s = Monster C...

Well an immediate interrupt comes during someone else's turn and doesn't include an attack of opportunity. So the staff is not being "wielded" by your definition (used in an attack). The orb, on the other hand, does not require an attack yet it still must be wielded (used in an attack) by your...

While a staff master gets his defense bonus equal to his Con bonus for "wielding" his staff as an immediate interrupt. Not for using a spell through it. An orb master gets to penalize one creature's save by your Wis mod to end an effect of one of your spells whether you cast that spell this...

Does a wand master specialist wizard have to use his wand (and thus cast a spell) to gain the wand specialist encounter ability of +2 to attack rolls on his next attack? The rules say the wand must be wielded, but do not specify that the wand must be used to deliver the attack. I contend that a...

Sorry, didn't see 4e forum where this belongs. Ciao Dave

It just seems strange that most DMs allow the tree to root itself into the ground (thereby breaking through the barrier of the ground without any type of roll) but balk at letting the trunk (a much stronger structure) break through the ceiling. And unlike instant fortress; it does not say that...

As a rule things do do damage when expanding: Look at the spell, Righteous Might, where a Str check is allowed to burst your enclosure when growing. Instant Fortress seems made to make holes in things (it sets itself 10 feet into the ground for stability). If the feather token tree were...

I see the feather tokens (tree and swan boat) as well as the folding boat and instant fortress that create large things from small objects as actually storing the large thing in shrunken size until commanded. As such the enlarge spell would not apply. Also, the enlarge spell affects creatures...

Personally, I add the kiss to the list of things she can do with a successful grapple. If her opponent grapples her, she has not made a successful grapple and thus cannot yet kiss. If her opponent initiates the grapple, and she ignores or misses the opportunity attack, and she wins the check...
