Warlock SLA's always have somatic components.

You're reading the right Fell Drain, but did you read Improved Life Drain? It doesn't specify whether it works on spells or not.

That jus doesn't seem that much fun, though we also use spreadsheets (not when I DM I memorize everything :X)

I'm *always* suspicious and cautious as a player, so my DM's don't need to worry about that with me! ... but they do anyways, because they assume my paranoia isn't strong enough to compare to a failed spot check. Ha. Um, let the players roll, tell them what they're rolling for, and make them do...

Thank you Hyp, otherwise spells like Rouse wouldn't make sense. I knew someone could argue my argument better than I could!

Nah, it's in the nature of "making a save". Your body (even will) automatically reacts to things that it knows are bad for it. Or at least that's what I figure :P

Do these two work together? I find it clear by the way they work that Fell Drain isn't quite the same as bestowing negative levels. I know that Fell Drain is (su), but my player has an undead graft that lets him cause negative levels... By the exact wording, this should work, but I don't think...

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can tell when a spell is "Harmless" as it's cast on you, and whether or not to resist.

Should be a fortitude save. :P

Good luck identifying the somatic components with a listen check :P Yeah, one cool thing about warlocks is the complete lack of verbal components.

Sorry, I meant Dimension Lock, I often mix the two up.

For the same reason that Swashbuckler and Samurai are also weak-ish classes - not everything can be super strong. PHB1 is still where the strongest... everything is. Druid, cleric, wizard, the spells... For early supplements, things like Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil and Frenzied Berserker and...

Wizards get less skill points because they don't do varied things on your average day (wish I could think of a better word than varied)... Like, you read books. Whereas a rogue runs around dismantling traps and jumping and climbing and et cetera.

Celerity! Time Stop. Dimension Anchor. Force Cage. The fight is over, especially if there is no time limit - you can prepare each spell once a day, and they last longer than that, so just take your time and wear them away. Cloudkill is probably the way to go, though.

Yeah, only your mainhand gets the extra flurry attacks.

I have a Crusader 6/Cleric 1/Ruby Knight Vindicator 6 in my group at the moment - he's extermely hard to deal with, as he can do insane amounts of damage using a floating shield and a +1 keen shocking burst greatsword - something like (with a +24 to hit and 34ish ac) 3d6 + 8d8 +16, and then...

Balance isn't the only issue in D&D. Also, Adamantium is really hard to sunder.

No, using swift actions as standards is different from immediate as swift, because using an immediate action counts as your swift action for the turn, wouldn't using an immediate action count as your swift action?

None of these posts have anything to do with the question he asked, haha. But, no, in answer, Dire Charge is built the way it is on purpose, play a Swiftblade if you want to move then full attack.

Well, you can take Swift Actions while flat-footed (oddly enough), so you could just take the Immediate one on your own turn as a swift one... But also, of course you're flat-footed outside of combat, that's what "flat-footed" means - you're not in combat yet.
