Hi! Once again, thanks for all the work. I agree that Sorcerer would be an unassociated class for Death Slaadi. However, I think that a Death Slaad Sor-10 (CR 18.5) wouldn't be a fair match for a Violet Slaad with a similarly-focused spell selection. For my campaign, I'm upping the...

Actually, it does... but apparently only in the PHB: "Break Enchantment can reverse even an instantaneous effect, such as Flesh to Stone."

Not against effects that don't allow a save, such as (for example) being hit by a Fire Seed (assuming that the damage dealt is sufficient to destroy the item). In the case of the Rust Monster, the SRD text says: It can be argued (and was, by the player in question) that since the "deals...

Although I note that a Wall of Force is neither a creature nor an object.

Cool! I like it already. :cool:

Thanks for your reply, even though I disagree with it. ;) Personally, I think the trumpet archon is also mis-CRed, though not as badly; at least in its case, its hit points and BAB aren't vastly greater than a 14th-level Human cleric, while the same is not true for a Violet Slaad and a...

My party's wizard sprang this on me this weekend, and sure enough, it's 100% legal by the books. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone comment on this before. (I just did a search and found only one previous comment, from back in August). Oh well, the flail-wielding, power-attacking Fire Giant...

Creatures in Gaseous Form are specifically *not* incorporeal; they're gaseous, which gives them DR 10/Magic (20/+1 in 3.0), but doesn't keep them from being targetted by spells or hit by rays.

It's in there (the 3.5 DMG errata at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/er/20040125a); you may have missed it because it spans a column break. To quote: 'Table 7–33 Dungeon Master’s Guide, page 285 Problem: The “Multiple different abilities” line is in error. Solution: Change “Multiply...

I believe this is the official answer, assuming that the Invisible person stays in the detection arc of the Magic Detecting observer for three consecutive rounds. The observer wouldn't necessarily know they were detecting an Invisible person, but they'd know there was a magic aura (Illusion, if...

My players are just about to use Wind Walk for the first time, from a captured scroll. On the "60 mph inside a dungeon" question, apart from visibility issues, remember two words: Poor Maneuverability. At any speed over the normal 10' that Gaseous Form allows, they can't hover, move backward...

Note that the difference documents at http://www.users.bigpond.com/steven_cooper/dnd/dnd-revised.htm are far more complete, and are especially useful for finding changes in spells. Use the Wizards update accessory booklet for an overview (and for books besides the PHB and DMG), then look at...

The mage in my group has two Prestidigitation-powered items: a glove that cleans whatever it touches, and magicaly-warmed underwear. ;) I might allow the rose-scented cloth trick, but I wouldn't allow Prestidigitation to foil the Scent ability.

I agree that "Regardless of magical effects" is modifying "act normally." How can you act normally? Regardless of magical effects. What about non-magical effects? No information, hence no change in your ability to act normally. And "as if you were affected by the spell" modifies "You can...

But that doesn't use similar syntax to the actual PHB/SRD sentence, so it's not a useful example. It would only be applicable if the rules text said something like "You are unaffected by effects that impede movement, regardless of their being magical, as if you were affected by the spell...

I think you're conflating two questions here: 1: What was the designer's intent? 2: What is the literal meaning of the text as written? On Question 1, I agree we don't know, and have no good way of knowing, short of asking the designers (who don't tend to answer such questions much...

Except that it's a 'ranged touch weapon,' and to deflect it you've got to touch it first. Of course, that would mean you couldn't use Snatch Arrows on a flask of Alchemist's Fire either, but I'd allow that for conceptual reasons.

You can also check out http://www.users.bigpond.com/steven_cooper/dnd/dnd-revised.htm for lists of most of the significant changes, organize by PHB and DMG chapter. As far as stuff besides rules mechanics goes, I think 3.5 is generally better-organized and a better product than 3.0. The...

Which is why, if you're invisible, you should move if a spellcaster starts staring intently in your direction. ;)

One of my players just got the Contingency spell. He'd like to have a Contingent False Life (no problem), but he wants the triggering condition to be "If I go under 20 hit points, or upon a command word." I don't have a problem with using a hit-point total as a condition. However, I'm not...
