S: 13 D: 9 C: 9 I: 16 W: 8 H: 13 Hmmm....Wizard by default, although a smart, cowardly Fghter (or even Paladin) who wears heavy armour and uses Expertise could be fun.

Preach, brother!

We have declared it once per round alhtough unlimited uses/day, but as things stand that is a House Rule, not an official correction (and of course it cannot be stacked with any of the others to force two saves from the same attack...)

I think in terms of power level it's slightly on the underpowered side. But it makes up for it by being very cool, and I'd take it for any spellcaster fo whom I could think of an appropriate theme. And especially in FR, where mageduelling is common, the +5 to Spellcraft DC checks can itself be...

Namfoodle is at (I,7), about to go into the eastern room when the sounds of battle break out. Will wait until the surprise round smoke clears to post actions, but initiative natural 20 (yay!) +1 =21

Namfoodle wanders about, keping an eye out for anything interesting. He notices Tomas examining the shelf and sees if he can read the writing - or if not at least confirm that it's in dwarven script (the gnomish language of course being also written in dwarven script with some minor...

Personally if I were DMing a campaign that reached 9th level spells I would seriously consider banning Gate - that a 17th level caster can summon and control a CR19 Solar (for example) which is more powerful than the caster, for the 'cost' of only one of the caster's spell slots? Or if not...

(Caveat: I may just be missing it too, but...) AFAIK there is no 'mechanical' reason not to use Gate rather than SM IX. Gate is indeed a much more powerful spell. However, with Gate you are 'calling' (rather than Summoning) a free-willed extraplanar entity and controlling it by the force of a...

The point is that the fighter was acting 'last'; now they are acting 'first'.... So: Enemies and allies get their actions Fighter's Turn - partial action + refocus (Beginning of new round) - full-round action + partial action Enemies and allies get their actions (Beginning of new round)...

How about using a Ring of Spell Battle or two - they allow you to redirect an enemy's spell onto a new (valid) target within 60ft...

Refocus is listed as a full-round action, raising your initiative to 20 + initmod, and possibly thereby changing your order in the initiative cycle. Let's say Ferocious Fighter is last in the initiative order. At some point (either a fellow spellcaster, or an item) FF becomes hasted. On her...

I always thought the '3E way' was to convert multipliers into additions - so 2x is +100%, 3x is +200%, 0.5x is -50%. But if you view 1/2 as '+100%, then invert at the end' I suppose you could get (albeit tortuously) to 1/2 '+' 1/2 '=' 1/3.... Is that how you would rule it as a DM, Hypersmurf?

OOC: Can we just assume he waits until the table is in place then cross? IMHO we should try to keep things flowing even if it involves some creative interpolation for the slow(er) posters. /nudges Ben in ribs with elbow

If there are several effects that reduce speed (the particular examples I was thinking of were Spike Stones and Sleet Storm, both of which 'reduce movement by 50%) do they (a) Not stack at all (b) Stack multiplicatively (so two effects that halve movement reduce movement to 1/4) (c) Stack...

Thanks! That was quick!

I've seen it referred to a number of times, but can't find it in any of the books I own. Which book is it in?

OOC: Rolled 53 on percentile chance. From his vantage on top of the impaled creature, Namfoodle grasps the rope and knots it around himself. He then takes a length of rope from his own pack and attempts a reinforcing loop, before signalling that he's ready to be pulled up. OOC: Use Rope 10 +1 =11

Is it really? Can the Hand bull-rush in the same instant it appears??

Thisdistanceapproachingmaximumfeasible, asforrotundgnometobejumping observes Namfoodle worriedly. He rummages in his backpack over his shoulder and pulls out a scroll, holding it unfurled in the stubby fingers of one hand as he prepares to leap. Legs churning, he runs for the pit, and launches...
