"While raging, a barbarian cannot use skills or abilities that require patience and concentration" Does a sneak attack qualify as an ability that requires patience and concentration? "Sneak Attack: Any time the rogue's target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually...

Like AGGEMAN said, he would be considered invisible but, of course, the defender would probably notice him once his sword went thru his chest. Maitre D

Xeoble, are you thinking of a particular spell or action you would like to take, or was that a general question? Like Kreynolds said, some feats might make your spells harder to dispel, but there are no way to bypass, unless you actually use a spell that antimagic field specifically doesnt...

whoa! déjà vu! Given just the core books, could you still use the "Strike an Object" rules to try and sunder a weapon, or maybe the optional hit location rules to try and do something more interesting than massive damage?

Uh. That is if Y was threatning you AND you moved more than 5', right? Lets say i'm between 2 longsword-wielding orcs, that are 10' apart. I move from besides 1 orc to besides the other (5'-step) and attack the latter. I don't think i'd draw any attacks of opportunity: XM>Y X: 1st orc M: Me...

Re: Re: Readied actions and AoO's Ah. Ok then, let's just assume he readied his attack should the wizard start casting a spell.

That's the right way, and the simplest way, to calculate it. Don't substract subdual damage from your current hit point total. Keep the tabs separated. Like Hammymchamcham (should it be hammychamcham?) said, when your subdual total is higher than your current hp total, you're knocked out. If...

I'm sure this has been covered before, but i just to be sure. Scenario 1: Cornered wizard, burly fighter is next to him and wants to split the wizard's skull open (i won't get into the specifics of why). For some reason, the fighter readies his action to clomp the wizard over the head as soon...

Subdual damage is normal, albeit non-lethal damage. In Situation 1, even if his momma said to knock it out, Fred won't be able to defeat the Random Evil Creature (tm). In situation 2, the monk could beat the Random Evil creature (tm) til its black and blue and eventually knock it out. If Fred...

First of all, dimension door states that "you can't take any other actions until your next turn". So the wizard should not have been able to cast the rainbow pattern. Next, even if the wizard had been able to cast the Rainbow Pattern, unless it was silenced, the Giants would have heard it. You...

Well what is sure ("and you can't turn undead that have [...] total cover relative to you" p. 139 PHB) is that you need line of effect, like Korimyr said. The PHB doesn't specify that Turn Undead works like a burst effect, but it does say it affects undead in a 60' radius. Maitre D.

Hi all, in the Generic Bard NPC description, in the "other magical gear" section, there is note of a mirror of vanity +2. Anyone know what this thing could be? its description doesnt appear in the DM's guide... I suppose it was the first cha-boosting object, which was later replaced by the...

oops told you I was a metric person... :)

Thanks I didnt realize a cubic pound of ice weighed that much... Damn. Them igloos be heavy! Maitre D

If the player gets trapped, then, yes, he'll have to get some outside help until the cloud wears off (10-13 rounds for a 7th level caster). In order to get trapped and be virtually helpless, he'd have to fail a reflex save and a fortitude save, tho... Its a cool tactic, but there are probably...

Since the fighter'll have to fail a will save, why not just charm him instead and have him hit on his friend with the big nasty sword? I do admit that its a nice trick to pull off if you've let a particularly unbalancing weapon into your game... Maitre D

But is ability drain necessarily caused by Negative energy? Don't think so. The ghost is so horribly ugly that it weakens all who see it. There is nowhere in the ghost template description that states that the ghost uses negative energy...

Negative Energy Protection lists the undead whose attacks are blocked by it, and "ghost" isnt one of them... Maitre D

The Gambol, being CR5 represents an adequate challenge for 5th level characters. Thats what the party's going to be, if I understand correctly. Sure, they'll be 6 of them, but still. Its a pretty powerful creature from what I can read... 9' tall, weighs half a ton. Has reach. Will attack 4...

Actually, the charge description is: "After moving, the combatant may make a single melee attack or a bull rush. The combatant gets a +2 bonus on the attack roll. The combatant also suffers a -2 penalty to AC for 1 round. " Its specifically states that the AC malus lasts a round, but not the...
