I believe you are incorrect (or draw an incorrect inference) on all three counts, per the 3.5 RAW. Wall of Force creates "a flat, vertical plane whose area is up to one 10-foot square per level. The wall must be continuous and unbroken when formed." So, no tubes, domes, boxes, etc. And it's...

Sadly, since only the "significant portion" is transformed to light (or whatever), I think it would only work for weapons for which the entire weapon could be considered the "significant portion". And the only one of those that springs to mind is the suriken, and even that's debatable.

If you really want to bend your brain, consider the functioning of a Shadow Evocation Resilient Sphere.

No, it's not a thread complaining about high PC mortality. ;) My question is this: In the RAW, barring special effects of certain planes, what happens to the souls of the Dearly Departed, a.k.a. petitioners (and for that matter other Outsiders) if they "die," on or off their Final Resting...

Agreed that the FX screen-corner ads (for *any* series) are hella annoying. Some on-topic thoughts I've had kicking around since last season: Just from seeing the ads, I had originally expected that the two main characters (Dr. Sean McNamara, Dr. Christian Troy) would fall neatly into a...

I find Nip/Tuck to be one of the most morally-centered, dismissive-of-superficial-appearances shows on TV. And it's no advertisement for elective plastic surgery, either; rather the reverse, IMO. Just watching the facelift scenes from 2 weeks ago would be enough to keep me off the operating...

I think the closest the rules as written come to addressing the question is from the SRD/DMG on Tacical Aerial Combat: This implies that for game purposes, if one is "falling straight down," one falls 150' the first round, 300' the next (and succeeding) rounds. This is less than the physics...

Isn't that true for most gameworlds? It's just that "as likely" usually equals "almost never." :) I take it that Eberron ups the likelyhood?

I like the rewording, but: where are you getting the -2 to hit from? Unseen attackers get +2 to hit (and negate the target's Dex bonus), but attacking an unseen defender just gives you a 50% miss chance, not -2 to hit.

Also remember that, while it isn't indicated in all mentions of negative levels (such as the Enervation spell and the MM), each negative level results in -5 hp, per the DMG/SRD "Special Abilities and Conditions" sections on the "ENERGY DRAIN AND NEGATIVE LEVELS" ability and the "Energy Drained"...

I assume this is all in reference to the "Special power" line above? If so, I think you're misunderstanding the intent of the phrase. It's not that a leader has *a* special power, such as shooting fireballs out his nose, or even that he has a reputation for doing so; it's that he has a...

As clarified in the 3.5 FAQ, you *can't* dispel Supernatural effects using Dispel Magic. Otherwise you could dispel things like Damage Resistance and Energy Drain.

"Magic items should always get a saving throw against spells that might deal damage to them— even against attacks from which a nonmagical item would normally get no chance to save." To me, that sentence implies that magic items should get saves against any effect that has a save. However, I...

I believe the problem is that you mis-typed "should" for "shouldn't" in your original post.

a) The projected image is intangible, so it can't attack, except through spells (see the spell description, quoted below). If the image is attacked, it takes no damage (though it could be affected by something like Dispel Magic); however, that would count as "interacting" with it, so the...

You might be thinking of "Shagrat," the Orc in Cirith Ungol who got away with Frodo's mail-shirt.

I don't see that a high jump is limited to 8 feet in the 3.5 SRD, any more than a long jump is limited to 30 feet. That's just where the chart happens to end Every additional foot of altitude adds 4 to the DC of a high-jump, just like every additional foot of distance adds 1 to the DC of a...

Another point to consider, though it's hard to implement in many cases: make sure your spellcaster has a melee weapon out (even a dagger), and hopefully Combat Reflexes and a good to-hit. Unless the grapplers have Improved Grapple, they'll invite AoOs, and if those AoOs do any damage, no grapple!

That was my first reaction as well. However, checking the SRD text for the feat, it looks to me like the "3 sizes smaller" restriction is only for the automatic bite or claw damage, though I admit it's debateable.

Project Image. Hopefully in combination with Mirror Image, so the PCs will keep attacking the images, looking for the "real" one. :cool: Or an Invisible Conjurer, who keeps casting Summon Monster and other non-Invisibility-voiding spells. Important safety tip: *Don't* rely on a scroll of...
