    Is there a feat to cleave off of a sunder?

    I could have sworn that I read, somewhere, a feat that allowed someone to cleave into an opponent after sundering their weapon or shield, but for the life of me I can't find it. WotC's feat index was no help, and if I still had hair I'd be pulling it out in frustration. Am I losing my mind...

    Casting Sleep in the surprise round

    What happens when the party wizard starts casting sleep or begins trying to get off a summon monster I in the surprise round? Sleep has a 1 round casting time, and you can only take a standard action in the surprise round, but it seems rather nonsensical to me to say you can't start casting...

    Can spells and magic items help satisfy feat prerequisites?

    Can you use a spell or magic item in order to satisfy the prerequisite for some feat? For example, can someone with Str 11 have a bull's strength cast on them in order to take Power Attack? Will Gauntlets of Ogre Power work? My gut feeling says you shouldn't be able to, but the PHB doesn't...

    Ghosts vs. Disrupting weapons and the Clerics that love them...

    If a ghost is "destroyed" with a disruption weapon, is it gone for good or does it reform in 2d4 days? Here are the relevant RAW: Cheers, Vurt

    Paladins with detect evil vs. fiends with mindshielding

    A paladin walks into a bar, and detects evil. The serving wench is actually a succubus with a ring of mindshielding. Does the spell pick her up? (As opposed to the paladin picking her up, which is a whole, different ballgame!) I'm finding this quandry subtly complicated, but don't want to...

    Replacing the Paladin's special mount class feature...

    One of my players has no interest in ever using his paladin's special mount class feature, and I'm considering swapping it out for something more appropriate, but I am at a loss for actual ideas. Has anyone else found something interesting and thematic to replace it with, that isn't just a...

    Cleric 1/Paladin 5: How many daily turn attempts?

    A first level cleric gets 3+Cha bonus turning attempts a day. A fifth level paladin turns as a cleric three levels lower. Does a Cleric 1/Paladin 5 then get 6+(2*Cha bonus) turns per day, half at cleric level 1 and the rest at Cleric level 2? Or just the better of the two? And if the...

    Need help with Energy Missile

    This has been coming up more and more often in my game, and it's getting on my nerves somewhat. Grappler grapples the armoured (metal) Bad Guy. Kineticist energy missiles (electricity) the Bad Guy. My beef with this is that, strictly by the rules, Grappler takes no damage from being in...

    Spike growth spell and damage reduction

    How does the damage from the spike growth spell interact with damage reduction, for example, the (2/-) from a mid-level barbarian? Is the DR applied every five feet, or just once after the total movement taken by the barb? Normally spells causing direct damage bypass DR altogether, but in this...

    A bevy of monk-related feat questions...

    No, I'm not going anywhere near improved natural attack, so don't worry! Rather, I need some simple rules clarifications on the following: 1) If a monk has the weapon finesse feat, are his unarmed attacks considered light weapons for purposes of the feat, thus allowing the feat's benefit? 2)...

    Soulknives and Attacks of Opportunity

    Do soulknives who manifest their blades within a threatened area provoke attacks of opportunity? Also, do soulknives who prep their blades for a psychic strike provoke attacks of opportunity? I can't seem to find any rules for this yea or nay. Can anyone point me in the right direction...

    Find the Path

    If you are trying to find a specific person, the spell Find the Path doesn't work, because it is keyed to objects. But could you use it to find the person's home, or prison, or other some such locale? Vurt

    DM Advice needed re: unfortunate character death [long]

    Had a weird one the other day... The setup The players were dealing with an appropriately difficult rendition of the Forge of Fury module. After storming the first level and clearing out most of the occupants, they fought the level's big bad boss and won, but one of the characters was dropped...
