Quick and hopefully simple question: The "Poisoned Dart Wall" trap from the DMG has as its Targets line: "Targets 2d4 targets in range." Now, does this mean it can only target up to 2d4 people, or that it shoots 2d4 darts at whoever's in range each time its turn comes up? The latter is closer...

Quick question - I seem to recall reading somewhere that the grease from a grease spell will not burn. Can someone confirm or deny this for me, please?

One of my players had a question regarding the rules. Why would it ever be useful to use Total Defense after a certain point when you can just use Combat Expertise and Fighting Defensively to consistently get a higher bonus to AC AND still be able to attack? The player's question is that if you...

Okay. Let me explain the situation for you. I have a player who is using a Thri-kreen monk (4 arms, remember), 1st level monk with a +1 LA Thri-Kreen (the Dark Sun version, sans psionics) for an ECL of 3. He is equipped with four nunchucks, and can make a Bite attack as a secondary attack...

Quick question - can a Thri-kreen monk with Multiweapon fighting use its unarmed strike as a 'weapon in each hand' as per the Multiweapon Fighting feat (MM304)? As in, could it make one unarmed strike with each of its four limbs as per the feat? Anything else I should know about Thri-kreen...

Here's my question. My player wants to play a Thri-Kreen monk very badly. He's done his homework, too. We're playing 3.5 currently, and in the Expanded Psionics Handbook, a thri-kreen has 2 racial HD and a +2 LA. Now, in the Savage Species book (3.0), a thri-kreen has 2 racial HD and a +1 LA...

The D&D PHB is unclear on this topic - can you use a natural weapon (example: bite) when you have an opponent pinned? It does not say specifically yes or specifically no to this anywhere in the entry. Thanks!

Hey, all. I can't find Refocus in my 3.5 book, and it's been confirmed that it was taken out. I'm just not sure why at all, as I didn't see a massive problem with it. Can you folks possibly enlighten me on this situation? As a bonus question, because I'm not quite clear on the etiquette of this...

I've looked and looked and haven't been able to find a collection of rules for called shots - for example, what sort of penalty does a arrow aimed at the eye incur? The kneecap? That sort of thing. Thanks in advance!

Can a arcane spellcaster cast from divine scrolls and vice versa? (Divine spellcaster casting from arcane scrolls.) I couldn't find this information anywhere, sadly. Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm a bit confused on this. By the RAW, it shouldn't be possible - Stunned folks do not seem to count as helpless, as they have separate modifiers to Armor Class. On the other hand, if someone is stunned, wouldn't they be open to that sort of shot to the vitals? (I'm aware that Stunned folks...

This comes from a theoretical situation that arose during the last session. We were discussing dealing with an (Improved) Invisible, flying sorceror, with the party armed with a Detect Evil at will. (Coming from the paladin, and the sorceror is evil, natch) I figured the way it would go is that...

So, this question came up when my player's gnome paladin decided to induce headaches in battle by doing 'Detect Evil, 5 foot step, Detect Evil, rinse and repeat' from round to round (1 DE and 1 5-foot-step per round, natch). How do you handle overlapping Detect Evil areas? (I'm speaking of time...

So, simple question, and yet I didn't find anything on this in my readthroughs of the PHB. With a rogue using TWF, is sneak attack damage counted for each hit? (As in, rogue catches enemy flatfooted, hits with both attacks - do you add sneak attack damage to both or only once?)

Okay, so here's my question. A player of mine threw a character concept at me a little while ago, for use if his current character bites the dust in the WLD game I'm running, and I wanted to get opinions on it, as it's a bit unorthodox. A bit of backgroud first... The group is made up nearly...

I just figured I'd ask this here, since it's come up in my prep for World's Largest Dungeon. My question is this: Can a Darkmantle Constrict in the same turn that it uses its Improved Grab ability to attach to the opponent's head (per a successful grapple check)? Also, I'm pretty sure I have...
