RPG conundrums Should magic missile have an effect on a miss?

The earth element is associated with alkali substances, traditionally salts of various sorts. D&D has tended to use the term "acid" as a sort of "corrosive substance" analog, which alkalis most certainly are.

You are determined not to be beaten by that damn show-off again - the one that is always poking his tongue out at you as he goes by - and by now you are so... hungry for success. But you have a cunning plan... It is with much delight that you open the crate that has just be delivered to you...

So, I presume the name of the inn relates to its location, rather than, say, what one might find at said inn?

So the answer's clear and unambiguous, then? ;) Actually, I like Dracosauve's first answer, thematically - the creature in a square of the wall of fire is literally surrounded by fire, and is therefore indistinct or at the very least the bright flames make it painful to look at - therefore has...

I tend to approach magic item allocation in the following way - without being rigid about it. 1. What are the levels of magic items the DMG says I should be providing at this level (i.e. n+1 to n+4, where PC level = n)? I treat this as a general guide to the power of the magic items I should be...

Yep - the sun domain warpriest in our party (who grants a +2 to death saving throws off the bat) has the Harbinger of Rebirth feat. Our party regains consciousness on rolling a 13+. "Popping up" after spending a round unconscious has become so commonplace that our dwarf paladin took the Gold...

Hi guys, My wizard is about to reach 9th level, and is going to take wall of fire as one of his 9th-level daily attack powers. The power's description states that a wall of fire "blocks line of sight". It does not state that any of the squares of the wall are obscured in any way. (FWIW the...

I keep seeing references to monster Fort being high (relative to other NADs) and Will being low (again, relative to other NADs). Inituitively this seems right - on the basis that a sizeable proportion of monsters are melee combatants, and therefore have Str/Con higher than Wis/Cha - but I'm...

Frankly, I'm surprised he can say anything else. ... And that segues neatly into my speechlessness at Mike Mearls ruining the Chuck Norris awesome class for Barbizan.

I note, for completeness' sake - and acknowledging that this is a rules forum - that there is also an (anectodally) popular house rule to the effect that a creature cannot suffer damage by being forcibly moved into a conjuration or zone more than once during a round (or variations thereof). I...

Sesame Street: Smell Like A Monster - YouTube MOO! ... I smell monsters ... all the time.

Cos', you know, forcing people to watch you "do what we do" isn't weird or anything. Cheers, Al-"selectively quotes like a political ad"=Kelhar

In addition, if you're really worried about NADs, consider whether to swap implement feature Tome of Readiness for Staff of Defence. Then make or buy a Defensive Staff (you can hold a staff in your off hand while blasting away with your longsword). (And then to add insult to injury, take the...

Let us not fear deletion! Deletion is not the end. Deletion is merely a new beginning. Just remember to hit CTRL and ALT simultaneously. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

A mule once bit my sister. No realli! She was k'arving her initials on the mule with a sharpened toothbrush...

Ah, Hungarian. A beautiful language when translated... ‪Hungarian Phrase Book‬‏ - YouTube

(My emphasis) The changes to zones that operate to reduce area damage to mass targets reduces control, by WoTC's very own inital definition of the role. EOT damage reduces control. If you choose to define "control" as "making enemies think about battlefield postioning", EOT damage may affect...

Hippo birdie P-cat. (How many cat-years is 83 earth revolutions of the sun, anyway?) Cheers, Al'Kelhar
