The Sage reply is interesting...and ultimately I disagree with it in some key points. Maze actually removes you to a pocket plane, which means that the magic directly affects you. By this logic something like Solid Fog would affect the Golem, which I can't see as the magic immunity ability is...

You could refer to the cost of working with Duskwood from MoF. It has the same strength as steel. Duskwood is more rare obviously, but the quality of steel and the skill required in refining and shaping it (to keep the weight down) would probably keep the costs close. Also, since it gives the...

I have to disagree with you on the unbeatable SR point. Golems are stated to be flat out immune to spells, spell-likes and supernatural effects except for certain exceptions. Golems are immune to Maze. I'd also say that a Golem could walk through a Wall of Force, but not stone or iron. However...

OK, False vision pretty much sucks, but I can think of one good use: It would be a nice contingiency. Someone scrys you, the spell fires and you can create a nice little misleading vision. Especially if the scrier is going to try a teleport. Oops :) In campaigns where you're sure you're going...

I'm thinking that making a trip attempt is a more threatening form of unarmed attack and would qualify for the above exception. Regarding your point of a hand blazing with harm, there's no indication that the cleric's hand would look at all different. I'm sure there are many touch attack spells...

The only rules that I can find are somewhat circumstantial and support Caliban and myself. Aside from the restriction that only a melee attack can be used under Trip, the weapon descriptions simply state that "this weapon may be used to make trip attacks." As stated in a previous post as well...

But why would you? It's a melee touch attack, not an unarmed strike. Touch spells do not generate AoO's because it assumes that your opponent is treating the attack with some respect since it's more dangerous than a regular unarmed strike. Why would this be different?

Add Shadow Walk to the list. It's not necessarily broken, but it's missing a crucial piece of info. I've gotten into more than 1 arguement on whether it only works for one walk (one entry and exit to the border shadow plane) or if you can bounce back and forth for the whole duration. Considering...

Blindsight within 30' or True Sight should take care of that limitation. True Sight might be a little more rare, but most casters I see have Blindsight running anyways. At least Acid Fog/Cloud Kill is affected by SR so some creatures have a chance of surviving.

Ah, thanks. I was using the SRD and couldn't find it.

Damn, that was quick. Where is this formula located Ferret? Oh, and thanks! :)

Hmmm, thanks for the responses. I didn't think of the difference between unarmed strike and unarmed attack. I think I have enough to take back to that group. The last problem is that if you're doing the trip unarmed, does it generate an AoO? Bull Rush and Disarm both specify an AoO while Trip...

Hi all, I have a legendary Snake (16 HD) that has been advanced to 32 HD. The poison DC for the regular snake is 25. Are there any rules for improving the DC of the poison? Is there a calculation for poison DC's like there are for Spell Like abilities or Undead level drain? Also, should the...

Wow, this has turned into some sort of rules lawyer discussion on ettiquete. Surreal.

OK, I've been doing trip attacks the same way for the last couple of years, but I ran into a new interpretation yesterday. My understanding: A trip is a melee attack that can be made armed or unarmed. If you wish to make it armed, then you must be using a weapon that specifically allows trip...

Re: Forcecage: It costs 1500 gp just to prepare it, not even to cast it. It's a very powerful spell, but it's somewhat limited by the cost. Combine it with the amounts Wizards must already spend on scrolls and spell research/learning and it adds up. And throw a "me too" on Commune. It can...

Freedom of Movement: Just what does this spell protect against? The description says that it allows you to move and act normally, EVEN when under a spell effect like Hold, etc. The "even" indicates that mundane means are nullified. What about a grapple? A net? Evard's Black Tentacles? Stone...

Back to the original thread... ;) If you want other problem creations from this book, try these: Speed's been covered. Moving on... Command enhancement: A slotless +4 competence bonus to Cha? Look at all those great PrC's that use Cha for cool abilities, not to mention classes like the...

Yeah, curse all those one trick pony fighters who take Weapon Focus and Specialization. Wait, you took Improved Crit too? MIN MAXER!!! :rolleyes:

Well, actually no. As written, the ring protects against anything that impedes your movement. Note the use of the word "even". a brick wall doesn't count since you can still move, ie: wave your arms. Note that this is a poorly written spell. About as bad as it was in 2e. A grapple is tricker...
