He is. To tell the truth, hes the only reason I can't stop myself from having ranks on sleight of hand. :p

Not following the guidelines usually leads to chaos, if you are new DM. If you are experienced you can pull off anything anyway. The problem is that the treasure rules aren't clear enough for a new DM to follow easily. The fact that your players like your campaign despite having few items, is...

Uh...yeah thanks. Maybe I haven't budged because I re-read the Search :: d20srd.org page every time before I reply. But whatever. Its way out of topic, so lets just say that you are right and I am wrong. I hope this makes you happy.

I think that RAW says that you have to be <10ft away, so thats all. You can spot the joints of the box and see that there is something strange going on. Of course only if the box is visible from your position. Now most players will go next to it and search it. But thats by the rules, not...

Why? A Dwarf doesn't have to tap a stone wall to tell its fake, and an elf has just to be 5ft away. I am actively searching. I wouldn't find more things if I used my tongue to taste the wood or something too? :P

Like I always say, ''I don't have to touch it to search it...in fact I am 10 ft away when searching it''

Uh...but...RA is very different than Delay...you can act in an other guys turn - obviously having a full round action within an other guys turn would be overkill. I am not talking about waiting 5 sec and doing everything on the last...the change of initiative reflects just moments of waiting...

I don't think that anyone thought ''hey lets throw food at each other''. I think that it just happened as a natural reply to getting hit by a cold ball of ice-cream :p Buuut you are right. Even if I think that no player in the world would be able to play like that, and even if I honestly think...

The fall happens instantly...however it happened at the end of the monsters turn. If the victim falls instantly, then on the beginning of everyone else it is already down the cliff. So it happens instantly at the beginning of the victims turn, or at the end of the attackers turn? Considering...

They were surprised, the opponents weren't flat footed. You have a point. But there are more options than two: 1) Delay - Being FF'd and getting a Full Round action with no trigger, or 2) Ready - not being FF'd, forced to declare a trigger, and only getting a partial action later. 3) Total...

Wait, when it became *my* logic? :p I don't think falling is a move action- I think its a ''no action''. Whether it happens on your turn or on someone others its debatable. Well, where is the rule then? I won't have a problem to follow it if I find it.

Delay is an ''non action'' action, so you would fall. Well. If someone pushes you over a cliff, and at the same time your barbarian friend sees whats gonna happen and rushes to save you...why not? Every action happens at the same time after all...

I would never waste a waterskin to find a trap. I would carefully search the floor with my two eyes. And I would roll a dice to see how good I am at spotting. As a DM, if a player used a 10ft pole or a waterskin, then they win- even without any ranks at search they will find the trap. The same...

So let me get this straight. What if I am actually idiot? I mean what if I just don't know how to summon a devil in real life, or something like that? Do you have an intelligence check, or some kind of test ppl have to pass before they play with you? Is there a booklet with instructions? If I...

I recall one character I once made who didn't do that. A priest of Shar.

So. How do one hides in an open field at night? How do you ask him to explain how he hides in just darkness? And how he hides under the light of the stars? ''Uh...I bend a bit...like this...and uh...I then do something like uh..that...uh...he didn't see me, did he?''

Lol there are ppl who faint just by spotting blood. I would like to see how they would act in a situation like this...:p

Cheating hurts only himself - if you ignore it, it will make no difference to you. If you feel Lawful report the cheating, otherwise just let it go. If none else thinks its a problem, then why would you. Let them and/or the rest of the party realize the problem by themselves. They will...

This is SO bad. :-S They thought of using a 10 ft pole. You say they can't because all 10 ft of it got eaten in an instant by a random statue. Then they start asking ''Do I see dart holes on the sides of the wall?'' ''Do I see cracks on the floor?'' ''Do I see any thing strange on the...

Well, I wouldn't want to play anyway. Thats what trowing the dice means :p You see, one PC falls into negatives. We don't know how badly he is hurt. There are only barbarians in the party. The best we can do is to try to patch him up. While whatever killed him is out there hitting the rest of...
