I could have sworn there existed a feat that gave the benefits of Powerful Build. Namely, you're counted as a size larger for bull rushes and grapples. Am I imagining things? Calypso

Hot damn, my spell list is done then. Thanks guys :D Calypso

Invisibility it is! Now I just have to decide between Magic Jar (could get me in big trouble) or Greater Blink (not as cool).

You're right, of course. I'll keep Glitterdust and get some scrolls of See Invisibility. Of course, I have no ideas for what to replace it with...

See post #17. That's a typo.

Hey guys, I know it's been a while (thread necromancy for the win) but we're getting ready to start this game this weekend, and I wanted you all to have one last shot at my spell list. 1: Benign Transposition, Charm Person, Distract Assailant, Magic Missile, Serene Visage 2: Addiction, Command...

Hmm... not that I can see, now that you mention it. I don't have time to peruse the PHB right now. Maybe someone else can find it, or, more likely, I'm confusing my sources. Calypso

Well, because it's not possible for an evil cleric to summon a good creature. If the only means of doing something good that you have, is through the use of an "evil" spell, is the act good, or evil? Or, let us for example look at the Deathwatch spell. "Using the foul sight granted by the...

Sorry, misread. I saw "casting" and skipped the rest. I don't usually associate "casting" with spell-like or supernatural abilities. Calypso

"15 + spell level Identify a spell being cast. (You must see or hear the spell’s verbal or somatic components.) No action required. No retry." "If the target of your counterspell tries to cast a spell, make a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + the spell’s level). This check is a free action. If the...

I'm not denying any of that. I'm asking you why, logically and without regard to the rules, using a Fiendish Dire Boar to save children and nuns from a burning orphanage is an evil act. Basically: I accept that, RAW, you are right. I'm having a discussion as to why the rules are that way...

I vote you just shut it down. I think it'll be better for everyone's sanity in the long run, and it hasn't gone anywhere new in about 130 posts. (I purposely backed out, in order to preserve my own sanity.) Calypso

My mileage *does* vary. :p Why is it not a good act? What makes it a neutral or evil act?

I think, perhaps, you made the technically correct call. However, I still think you made the wrong call. The player came up with a pretty clever solution to the problem, and as such I would have allowed it to work. Plus, I think one could make a pretty strong case for Dominate trumping...

I agree with Patryn's reading of the quoted text. IMO, it leaves little room for ambiguity. Calypso

I suspect no one cares, but I find this (not you, D&D) childish attempt to codify a system of moral principles to be rather silly. To say that summoning a Fiendish Dire Boar is an act of evil is just plain silly. What if you use the boar to save a burning orphanage on 'Visiting Nuns Day'? I...

-Your blow seems to simply bounce off of the creatures hide, leaving nary a mark. -The demon grins wickedly at you from amidst the fire, his hide unsinged. -Lop off a bit and you'll find out. -3/4, 2/3, 1/2, 1/3, almost dead. -You can't tell. -Make a Spot check... you didn't see him perform any...

To be fair... Maximize is better when you're rolling a lot of dice and adding little to it. Empower is better when you're rolling few dice and adding a lot to it. I'm sure you could make a purdy graph showing the crossover point, but I'm too lazy. Calypso

Here is my summary of the thread so far: 1. Egres claims monster entry in MMIV is wrong because it doesn't list EWP(Bastard Sword) 2. Calypso points out that Monstrous Humanoids automatically are proficient with any weapon in their entry 5. Egres claims that that doesn't imply that they can...

Probably for the best. This thread has gone so far astray that it's silly.
