Does Luke really "deflect" the lasers in ANH on the Falcon? I remember it as more of an absorption. Perhaps the training drone is designed to have a low-energy laser (like a stun setting)... This would make it an easier force trick (maybe) and the actual delfection of laser bolts as seen...

MY thoughts exactly. Here's another vote for "love it"!

IIRC, When Flash and ladies in tow first come back to Earth he see the RV and says something to the effect of, 'There's Zarkov's van'. I don't like that they will be popping back and forth between Mongo and Earth. I liked my Flash stranded and fighting... not stopping home to check in with...

hahaha. That was nearly the exact line that another player used :) See, three of us agree with that reasoning, but like I said, there were two that were really convinced all spells end when the mage dies (very movie-like: kill the mage and all goes back to normal...). So, I agreed to post the...

A wizard successfullly casts a spell that last 5 minutes on a fellow party member. Then the wizard takes enough damage that he drops unconscious. What happens to the spell? We had two players that thought the spell should end. Looking through the PHB didn't seem to answer it, so the DM...

Same here. I love the story, the humor, the DnD references... everything. But I picked humor b/c that's what drew me to it first

My vote too. But I figured I'd post the question to see if anybody disagreed and could tell me why -- there are a few players in my group that disagree but all they can come up with is that it doesn't feel right to be able to make an attack while concentrating on a spell.

Yes. That's the question. (I added the bold font) EXAMPLE: You're a mage. You've got a dagger in hand. You cast a spell with duration concentration. During subsequent turns in which you are continuing to maintain concentration, an opponent triggers an AoO from you (say he moves through several...

This question has come up in our group and I saw it mentioned (but not answered in another thread)... If you have a character that is currently concentrating on a spell AND is equiped with a melee weapon, can they take an AoO if one is provoked WITHOUT losing their spell? First, I think you...

This is one of the suggestions in Unearthed Arcana. It's the method we use in my games (both as player and DM) and all of the casters really like it. It makes metamagics a little more useful and spellcasters feel that there's a little more value in actually taking the feats. They're never...

Upon further reading of the Bard and everything else, I am wondering if the Bard can just freely attack (and then also take AoO) without worry. In the description it clearly states there are certain actions that cannot be taken (like spell-casting), but that would imply that any other action...

This still leaves the question of what is the DC of the concentration check when the Bard is concentrating, like with the fascinate ability. Should it be considered the spell of a similar level (and the same with the song of freedom ability) ?

I figured b/c the wording of the ability says that the bard must continue to play that that would be like concentrating and take a standard action to accomplish... interesting! See that was my thought, but clearly it's not the only theory... AND I can completely see the alternate theory as...

Hi all, I'm asking this question for one of my fellowplayers b/c she doesn't log in here often enough to get the answer... Here's the situation: We have a bard using storytelling to activate her Bardic Inspire Courage. We know that she needs to spend a standard action each round to maintain...

I took it to mean that it's showing damage that he has taken. The potion just didn't heal all of his damage...

Yes, but each of those things takes either xp or gp. I've never had a player that was really interesting in "losing" xp -- they'd rather wait to find it in treasure or go without (or if the DM's generous, purchase them from large towns). And psionic characters have access to similar items...

Ah yes: Elude Touch (Ex) Dang it. Which leads to more house rules (eg, remove the limit in the description...) :mad: :mad:

Thanks for the aid all. I like the suggestion of using SR/PR creatures. The other spellcasters don't rely on their spells to be offensive (they're summoners and buffers and controlers, rather than blasters), so it wouldn't "hurt" them, it would just challenge the blaster. By the way (since...

I feel like I must be missing something in the rules. Here's the background: I don't know psionics. I DM for a group of fairly experienced players. Two of them like psionics. When I had seen them used in play once before I figured they were mostly personal augmentation spells with very...

Ooooh, I like the sound of that already. I'll have to check out the Green Ronin book. Thanks!
