There are generally two or three reasons: 1. Graphics design that doesn't take page width into account. Many designs will have fancy graphics scattered about the page, but instead of modularizing the graphics so that some portion of it can be repeated up to the full width of the window, the...

Yeah, perhaps I came across that way too. My apologies. :( I used to write code. Lots of it. (But you know the saying, "Those who can't do, teach." :)) Anyway, my experience over the last 30 years (ouch! THAT LONG?!) has been that if I don't write something generic in the beginning, I end...

Thank you for posting your code! I don't know C#, but I have a mild curiosity of what the language looks like, so I appreciate having a class that I can understand its function. :) Having said that, I would like to point out that in a true object-oriented design, this implementation would...

The problem with a table is that the text from the first row/column won't overflow to the second column. S/he's looking for something like what a newspaper does with an article that takes multiple columns. In most word processors (I don't use Word 'cuz I think it sucks :)) these would be...

This would certainly make a wand of silence very powerful, since the save DC is irrelevant unless the spell is actually targeting a creature, and save DCs are the primary reason why my party doesn't use wands for anything except no-save or no-SR spells. Bumping the spell to 3rd level not only...

Wow, I did miss that. :( I'm going to go back and review spells that have that descriptor in the Save header. Thank you very much for pointing that out! It might solve all of the problems with silence to just house rule that single entry in the descriptor so that it contains "Will...

I don't think "willing target" extends to automatic, ie. non-suppressable, effects created by magic items.

The glamer suppresses sound within the AoE. You don't get a Will save unless you interact with the spell, ie. study it or enter the AoE. So if you haven't succeeded on a Will save, the answer is "no", you can't hear it. Ditto. Yes. if it saves, the illusion does not affect it. If you have...

Actually, that's a very good point. And I think it favors my interpretation. If silence is like invisibility (and they are both glamers), then they should work similarly. So sound should bend around the AoE of silence the same way that light bends around an invisible object. And that means...

Yep, agreed. :) Thanks. But no thanks. ;)

Don't use text boxes. Instead, use a "section break" and define the section to be two columns.

Discussion of silence continued in this thread.

That's your opinion. :) There are plenty of spell effects that offer a save as soon a reature enters their area. And I did say that they get their save when they enter the AoE, so they have interacted with it -- after all, they would suddenly turn deaf. The illusion of a wall (such as a...

It all depends on the personality and intelligence of the bad guy. If he's smart, he'll regroup and not meet the PCs again until he's ready. That might be a single day in game-time or it may be weeks or months. He might use some of his cash (gp, gems, whatever) to obtain potions of cure...

I think there may be a misunderstanding here and I think it's my fault. I checked my "house rules" thread on our private forum and don't see silence listed. So I found it by searching the forum. It wasn't the clearest thing in the world, that's for sure. :( The discussion grew out of this...

I won't comment on anything the players say. I don't feel that's appropriate at this time, but when the comments from the players and others here die down, I'll do my best to clear up any remaining questions that others may have about the campaign that the players are not privy to yet...

Alright, I'll post this thread on our private forum for the campaign. And I'll mention that you (ie. other posters) were wondering about the players thoughts on this. I can't guarantee they'll come visit, though...

There was actually one more free action: Yes, that's how it happened. Had any of the PCs been near their helpless friends and used Sense Motive, it would've been obvious. In fact, if they had even THOUGHT about the fact that they'd left a cult traitor helpless on the floor below, it probably...

I agree. So looking at the facts in this situation, let's see if I "had it in" for the PCs: 1. PC succumbs to insanity effect from a symbol. 2. Party clerics can't/don't heal her (don't remember if they had the spells and were saving them; they did this when the fighter was hit with...

Darn! That would've ben a great way to play it! They could've avoided doing "silly stuff" and instead gone to check on their comrade. I wish I had thought of that at the time. :( They didn't have enough PfE prepared for the clerics to cast it on everyone, so only two PCs had prepared PfE...
