5 off of d3 means the spell didn't effect the foe, which means sneak attack is irrelevant.

Rays of Frost are not problems at high levels, once spell resistance comes into play. I simple Endure Elements also renders the spell worthless.

Right, it's essentially a free action now, taken before or after your normal action. Now, there's some other spell I've heard of (from some source book I don't have...heard about on these boards) that basically acts just like Haste except without the AC bonus...that one I wouldn't allow to...

Disallowed? Since when? I don't remember reading this in the latest FAQ. Furthermore, why? I agree with you on stacking RS and TWF. I don't see how these 2 feats interact, or why one would even want to. Gaiden, allowing this is too unbalancing imo. On one hand you have a rogue with...

Really? Were you the one who posted this email? I'd like to know why he changed his mind...

It was a LONG time ago. It was the first question that I ever sent him I think. I guess he changed his mind at some point. I looked for the email and couldn't find it, or I'd post it. Sorry.

I wouldn't use the Sage's reply (in THIS case) to determine how to rule. The reason is that I received an email reply from him that said you can not sneak attack while raging. Someone else (in a past thread) posted an email reply with the exact opposite answer. So, there you go...

I'd do it the same as with the orb spells. The first ray/orb gets sneak attack (so a miss or successful spell resistance would negate the possibility of getting SA with this spell), the second doesn't. You choose before rolling. I think of it like you are aiming the first ray at a vital spot...

Re: Re: Ignoble Death by Ray of Frost!?! That's what he said, but I think it is incorrect. Save for half SPELL damage, but the SA damage is bonus damage not reducable. However, a simple Endure Elements or practically ANY spell resistance would render this spell near-useless. If no spell...

I agree that it is very questionable that twinned rays both get SA damage. In fact, I would rule they do not for the exact same reason an Acid Orb only gets one. There are so many ways to defeat SA, that rogues can easily be third-rate fighters (behind Clerics and monks) in many battles, with...

1. No, he's still your ally. 2. See above. If you targeted the foe who is controlling your friend, then different story...that's how I would play it anyway.

How is this questionable? If you can summon monsters and stay invisible, you sure as Hades can cast Cat's Grace on allies w/o breaking the invis. spell too. Buff spells are not attacks.

First of all, the pc gets to make a Listen or Spot check to notice the invisible npc. Use Move Silent of npc vs. Listen of pc to hear him coming up towards him. Then make a touch attack to successfully touch the target pc with the scroll. This would only let you place the object on the...

Please reread my post. Notice the part where I said "almost". ;) I know the difference between flat-footedness and 'denied dex bonus'. When you QttE successfully, your foe 'look elsewhere' while you take a partial action. Are you saying that this means nothing happens if you choose to do...

To answer the original question, NO. Any action you take will not provoke an AoO from those who are bluffed. In fact, they are almost considered flat-footed (no AoO's) during your partial action (no dex bonus). Combat Reflexes does not help here. As for the more general question of...

Yes, but any spells that are cast on yourself, can also work on the familiar (the same spell, that is...no need to cast it twice). So a Cat's Grace would improve your familiar's Reflex save. Divine Grace would not work for a familiar, however, as it's not a spell.

Not all weapons work the same unfortuneately. Bolas deal 1d4 damage as a touch attack, and if it hits, it automatically trips the opponent. This weapon's almost as good as the Spiked Chain.

I'm going to see the movie in about 3.5 hours.:D I heard the extended dvd of TTT will be at least 1 hour longer than the original, so maybe Faramir will get the treatment some of you thought he should get. There's only so much you can do in 3 hours. Then again, I'm not a purist, so I fully...

Of QUITE some use is the rule from Magic of Faerun that lets you master a foreign spellbook. It does take a while, 10 days plus 1 day/spell in the spellbook:eek:, but once done saves a LOT of money. All it takes is the time and a Spellcraft check of DC 25 + highest level spell (e.g. 34 if...

Oops, sorry. Didn't realize there was such a forum.:o
