No, that's not what it says. From the SRD: Sounds pretty straightforward to me ;) :cool:

You know, this is an odd thought, but you might want to look at the stronghold builders book. There are provisions there for mobile strongholds, and it occured to me you could just as easily consider a ship as a mobile stronghold. Now granted, it probably doesn't go down to the level of detail...

There are as many uses for silent image as the caster has creativity. I have used it to: 1. Bait an ambush - the party came across a band of orcs in the wilderness. A quick silent image gave me a lame deer that the orcs of course tried to chase down, coming into our waiting arms. 2. Stealth -...

Hm. Ok. I'm convinced.

Oh don't get me wrong - I don't think they should be affected by SR - as you all pointed out, they're way too limited as it is. But this is a pretty much straight forward spell-like effect going off with the arrow, and I can't see any reason that it wouldn't be affected by SR. Frankly, I can't...

I would say yes, it's subject to SR. Why? Arrows of slaying come from the finger of death spell. It's the prerequisite spell to make one. SR applies against finger of death.

Ice storm doesn't have a save, but that doesn't quite compensate for the fact that it doesn't scale at all. Given that, I tend to agree - it's underpowered.

I think the module provided a ton of reasons for why you're there, but may perhaps need the DM to close the last 5% of the motivation. When an unnamed DM ran this module for us *coughWizardrucough* there was a very simple and effective motivation. We had been retained by a rich noble who...

Very very very few. a) there are very few spells that qualify as "area" spells b) few of those you will likely even be able to cast c) some of them you wouldn't want to cast d) most of them can just be cast with their usual range, and the sole benefit of the imbue - the range - is moot...

Oh damn right you will. And then when you turn around to look for the bolt, you whack the guy standing next to you. 1d3. ;) (I actually have a period crossbow. It's easy to keep the bolt in when you carry it. On the back? Oh my god. The only question is would the bolt fall out before or after...

I don't think I was clear on what I meant by "torch lighting issues". What I mean is that it's a fairly minor point, so make a judgement and move one. I'm not faulting anyone's particular interpretation or ruling, just saying it's not, in my opinion, something worth spending a ton of time on...

One player's opinion here: Dragon CRs are generally a joke. They are way too low. Saying they're at the top of the weight class is what WoTC has said, but is junk in my opinion. A given CR just isn't that wide to allow for that. Saying that it assumes the party is prepared for the dragon is...

It's not an unusual thing for a crossbow to have a metal clip reaching over the firing mechanism that holds the bolt in place, so holding it totally upright is not completely necessary. If they're riding along with no indication of trouble, I'd go with the others and say "no". If they're...

I'd like to think that it'd be ok. If you can get a celestial bear, what's the big deal making it fiendish instead, assuming it's appropriate to the alignment/god/whatever of the character. As long a the player has the stats on hand and ready of course. Last thing anyone wants is a lot of page...

Sure, just let me rip out of the character sheet it's in with. It also makes the assumption you have the augment construct feat but lemme see if I can back that out easily

So Sagiro. Dear sweet friend Sagiro. Who's story hour I love. (Yes, I want something.) What are the odds of us sweet talking you into updating the post title (of the original post) with the last date you updated it? I personally find this new trend in story hours to be of immense help in...

Good rule to use for both summoned creatures and constructs. Personally I have some voodoo I did in Excel that I use for my astral constructs. I pick the type (I, III, etc) from a drop down and it looks up and fills in the stats. Then I pick abilities from other drop downs. Makes my life much...

Regarding backup weapons - I too carried a backup weapon. Used it once maybe. And the higher in level you go, the less you'll need it. If you get general access to some mobility spells, like Fly, you'll need it even less. If the DM likes to sunder your bow, we'll maybe it's an issue then but...

In that vein: Arcane Archer is a nice class, if anything a little underpowered compared to a lot of PrC's. If you have someone willing to cast Greater Magic Weapon for you each day, then the big benefit of this class is moot. OOBI is more powerful, and can be touchy with sneak attack dice...

There's another angle here to consider but it's kind of wierd. It has nothing to do with game balance though. Personally I find it a LOT easier to deal with constructs as a player than I do summoned monsters. You have a ton of monsters, I need to know what they can/cannot do, have stats on...
