Another situation for the same question. Say we have Bob the fighter. On his turn, he decides to fight defensively. He gets a +2 bonus to AC and a -4 penalty to his attack rolls until he acts again. So if Jim the Evil Archer is within reach and shoots an arrow at Bob, Bob would get an AoO vs...

10 characters? damn that's a lot. How many players you got? Maitre D

I'd say you can stack it with an unarmed strike, and that you are considered "armed" for the purpose of drawing AoO's. One thing though, IMO, you couldn't "activate" your death touch AND make an unarmed attack (other than the regular melee touch attack described in the power's description) in...

From the SRD Maitre D Edit: is a creature made of glass affected by shatter? Is glass crystalline?

Well it helps, but not a lot. If LordofBlah's problem was that his DM puts to sleep every member of the party, then he'd be set with elves, yes. Maitre D

Usually, multi-classing spellcasters will be at a disadvantage. For other types, it depends on what kind of high-level power / skills you'll be sacrificing when you'll multi-class (come to think of it, its exactly why multi-classing spellcasters will generally be weaker, because high-level...

*cue Allelujah music* That's the part i've been missing. Thanks a million, Daniel, for that very informative post. ah, i'll get to that page eventually :0) Thanks again, Maitre D

But what would be the advantage of making a newfound spellbook your own (ie MoF rule, which has a much higher DC) when you can usually just take 10 and automatically memorize spells from a borrowed ( / newfound?) spellbook? Maitre D

ungh. Not sure that would work, sincethe standard action you took this round was casting a spell. Touching the enemy was just part of the spellcasting. Now, if you were to cast a touch attack spell on round 1, THEN on round two, move in and touch, i wouldn't see any problem with it. Maitre D

Likewise, the Total Defense action is a standard action, ergo, no spellcasting there either. Now don't ask me how that works when you're hasted. Maitre D

the PHB states that learning a spell from a borrowed spellbook is a spellcraft check with a DC of 15 + spell level. I think this means that the wizard you borrowed it from is there when you study his book, explaining his various notes. That's why, according to Magic of Faerun, the DC for...

Still playing my oldest living PC, Uriel Sevteline, elven mage, but in other games i'm playing a hafling sorceror/rogue and a human wizard aiming for loremaster. I've made a half-elven fighter barbarian and a human monk, but i probably won't be using them. Oh yeah and i'm trying to DM an evil...

I've always been partial to sword & shield, being a damage wuss, but my fighters are usually equipped for every situation (ranged / medium weapon and shield / 2-handed for maximum damage)... Maitre D

it was "supposed" to be, one time or another, than INT X 10 = IQ, but that relation seems to work only for 6 < INT < 20 (IMO).

Hello all. Like the title says, a wizard finds a spellbook wherein he finds multiple spells he hasn't seen before. Things to consider (please correct me if I am wrong): 1) He needs to succeed at a spellcraft check (DC 15 + spell level) to see if he can learn the new spell 2) He needs to...

One thing you might be overlooking is that Wizards do not necessarily have to add spells to their spellbook to learn new ones. If they find another spellcaster's spellbook, they can learn spells from that spellbook also. Granted, it requires spellcraft checks, but the average wizard (maxed...

By the reading of the feat, IMO, everyone cooperating actually casts a spell. In their example, 4 fireballs actually go off simultaneously. Maitre D

In the PHB, there are "arrows" listed under short bow, composite short bow, longbow, composite longbow, and bolts listed under light crossbow, heavy crossbow, hand crossbow and repeating crossbow... i'll assume that means there is a type of ammunition for every type of bow/xbow there is... Maitre D

Whatever character you'll make, you'll end up playing 3 hours and getting killed by an elf. :)

Wizard's response Hello, just to close this interesting debate, here are the answers i received from WOTC. 1) Does the penalty for wearing a buckler apply when using a 2-handed melee weapon? yes 2) Do you benefit from a buckler (on your left arm) when you are holding something in your left...
