The bubbles would be no more a part of that environment than if someone breathed cold condensation (and thus visible) air in a cold environment made to look like a desert. Things added by creatures are not a part of the environment. So the illusionist should try to use as little opposite change...

The reason to make an illusion of a spiked pit is to make the players go around something they don't have to. Stepping into the pit would entail (IMO) a Balance check DC5 or fall prone. No damage, only prone. The air bubbles and the floating hair seem to me to be examples of

I wouldn't require the halfling riding behind the fighter to make a control mount check (DC 20) because the fighter is doing that. And whether the fighter makes of fails the check, the halfling has to make a DC 5 Ride check to use both hands (I am assuming he uses device-propelled missile...

Actually, mighty is a 3.0 term. All composite bows now have a Strength rating (+0 if not mentioned) and require a wielder to have the same or higher Str rating to competently use the bow (if Str is too low take a -2 penalty to attacks). Ciao Dave

If someone climbs on your back and hangs on, that person is totally concealed from you, yet because he is on your back you can feel him and thus attack him without a miss chance; just ram him into a wall, cuz you know where he is even though you can't see him. A swallowed whole rogue faces the...

So a grappling creature does not lose its Dex bonus to AC against the creature it is grappling. The statement about Dex not applying to the gullet AC is just a formula, not a deny statement. (note the word DENY or DENIED does not appear, whereas it does in every other case that I can find)...

But wouldn't the gullet have "gulletsense" a kind of tremorsense that only senses things in its gullet? Thus denying any type of concealment> Ciao Dave

The gullet does have a natural armor bonus. 1/2 normal for the creature, this is where the description states what is allowed for the creature's AC (no Dex, no size, 1/2 natural armor). The fact that no Dex applies to this AC is just a formula to figure the AC for the DM not a denial. Caltrops...

Any creature detailed as wearing armor in the MM is also explicitely given proficiency in said armor. Ciao Dave

The armor proficiencies are mostly moot; as the time taken to put armor on is between 10 rounds and 40 rounds according to type (except for some light armors which can be donned hastily, and thus 1 AC worse than normal, in only 5 rounds). Ciao Dave

Wasn't this covered in Portable Hole Full of Beer? Ciao Dave

If you have the feat, Great Cleave, then this is possible. Ciao Dave

In which case, I suggest either a new DM or having a talk with said DM about equality in combat. Ciao Dave

IF the whole PC party is without low-light vision, 50 ft. is as far as the bright light would illuminate. No mention of shadows in the original post. Given low-light vision in the NPCs, this would extend bright to 100 ft. making the PCs easily seen at 51 to 100 ft. and 20% miss chance from 101...

Did any of the NPC's have low-light vision? If so, then the rogue could be clearly seen (he wasn't hiding, just outside the light in "shadowy illumination"; but with low-light vision, this would have been the normal light conditions: the campfire light stretched out to 100 feet and "shadowy...

This is covered in the Magic Overview section of the SRD: Ciao Dave

Can a spell thief who has stolen a spell and subsequently cast it, use a pearl of power to recall the stolen spell? I would think so except for the language in the pearl description: Thanks for your help. Ciao Dave

How about allowing another counterspell option for all casters. Keep the original ready action: counterspell. Add: Allow them to spend an immediate action (burns their next swift action) to counterspell any caster at any time. (They cannot use this action in the middle of a 1 round casting...

Yes, you are right, treasure = found/paid/acquired through adventuring. But, what I am saying is this is not balanced at all. Forget about Item Creation feats. Take a 12th level Rogue who spent less than 1/8 of his skill points on the Craft skill (shipmaking). His wealth can range from 88,000 gp...

This includes a straight fighter who is just taking advantage of his party members feat choices. And, let's see; more spent xp equals more time to gain new levels equals more treasure gained equals more powerful characters at the next level. If the table is used as stated, to equip higher...
