    Why is Polar Ray an 8th level spell?

    Come on Nifft, you must be off your game today. You forgot the Rod of Maximize, greater. Nothing like 372 points of damage in one round (avg).

    Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts

    This is what was running through my mind as well.

    D&D 3.x Questions about 3.5 Wild Shape

    Wild is changing how wildshape works. Thus it resembles wildshape in every regard except how it changes it. Since it only says that the wearer retains the Armor bonus, the wearer only gets the armor bonus from the armor and nothing else. Though there is one enchant that does work, and that is...

    I completely agree.

    Would this be using Bluff or Diplomacy?

    This character would skirt the border of the two skills alot. The specific example you gave would be bluff, followed by diplomacy if the bluff was blundered :-D

    Ideas for a too-multiclassed character

    I agree on tumble since the OP said that she like the dex-y stuff. But you dont need Disable Trap, or Spellcraft. Concentration would be a definite boon since she will be in melee casting spells. Disable Trap can be mitigating by spells / adventuring ingenuity. Spellcraft is a completely...

    Can I use a ray to make a called shot?

    I would guess that you of his or his party members item got nuke via disintegrate, since he seems to have a vested interest in the rules siding with attended items cannot be targeted by rays.

    Why is Polar Ray an 8th level spell?

    But if you are truestrike you are burning a 5th level spell or another standard action. Both of these are additional costs to be taken into account. As I said originally, the multiple attack rolls is a good thing. The chance for a completely wasted action is significantly reduced, but comes at...

    Can I use a ray to make a called shot?

    The catch here is not whether or not EB or disintegrate can affect objects, its that they can target attended objects. By RAW rays function as ranged weapons for the purpose of choosing targets. Ranged weapons do not have a means of targeting attended items except by Ranged Sunder feat.

    Ideas for a too-multiclassed character

    The only skill that is necessary to fulfill the trapfinding roll is search. Now given this means that she needs to have at least a 10 int.

    Why is Polar Ray an 8th level spell?

    I never really liked Twin Spell and this is why. It is effectively a quicken spell with some hefty restrictions that doesn't use your swift action. Sure the restrictions limit it in some situations, but in others it is completely irrelevant.

    LOL, so true.

    Ideas for a too-multiclassed character

    She can always choose to cross class the skills to keep searched maxed out. With solid casting on both arcane and divine, there are plenty of methods of dealing with traps once the trap is found. Not to mention with about 5k gold you can get +10 on search checks to find traps. I wouldn't...

    Can I use a ray to make a called shot?

    Just because an eldritch blast can do damage against objects does not mean that it can be used to target attended objects. Since there are special rules for it, you have to fall within those rules. Rays are consider ranged weapons and by the rules for targeting attended items ranged weapons...

    Metamagic and Warlocks, and pesky wands

    The warlock entries talks about how metamagic works for warlocks. It does say to use the MM feats for the effect, and it describes how the feats interact with warlock spell likes.

    Why is Polar Ray an 8th level spell?

    Limiting to base material. 2nd - Scorching Ray 6th - Quicken Scorching Ray 24d6 Damage for 8 spell levels. Like Polar Ray it has no save, but instead has an attack roll. The benefit here is that you can split up the damage between multiple targets. And while some might say having 6 attack...

    Cloak of Mage Armor

    To me the monks wisdom bonus to AC and dodge bonus from level is equivalent to mundane armor that other classes get access to. This belief is reinforced by the fact that a monk loses these bonuses if they use armor. Since we have all agreed that monks are the primary users of bracers, comparing...

    Cloak of Mage Armor

    But before leaving core, there is no way to wear armor as a caster without taking some amount of penalty. Not many casters are willing to put up with a 5% spell failure chance. Just because they can wear it doesn't mean they are going to. And monks are not allowed period, without giving up...

    Can I use a ray to make a called shot?

    I thought about that, but rays do not have targets. How you target them is a function of them being a ray. Rays are described as acting like ranged weapons. Object that are not attended you can hit with a ranged weapon, but attended objects have to be hit via the sunder rules. Spells that are...

    Cloak of Mage Armor

    No as I have stated before, I consider mundane armor a feature of a class. Certain classes cannot use armor, certain classes can. Thus by making enhancement bonuses for the classes that cannot use mundane armor cheaper, you skew the balance between the classes. In your original suggestion, (+4...
