Feather Token: Each of these items is a small feather that has a power to suit a special need. The kinds of tokens are described below. Each token is usable once. Bird: A token that can be used to deliver a small written message unerringly to a designated target as would a carrier pigeon. The...

If I have an 7th level druid with a wolf companion, under the druid it says the wolf would get +4 HD (and +4 natural armor, +2 Str, +2 Dex). Now, under the entry for wolf, it says Advancement: 3 HD (Medium); 4–6 HD (Large). 1. Does this mean the wolf becomes Large? Then under advancing...

I and my horse are invisible (or inside an Obscuring Mist spell). If someone chooses to fire an arrow at one of the 4 squares my mount and I occupy, which one of us is hit? Random? pvandyck

If I read the rules correctly, it takes standard action to activate the flaming, frosting, or shocking abilites of a magic item. If this applies to ammunition like arrows, doesn't it make those echantments worse than pointless? I have to use a standard action to activate the arrow, then next...

I have questioned/complained about DMGenie's initiative control in DMGenie's Bug forum. I'd like to know if my concerns are very in the minority (as they seem). http://www.dmgenie.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=BugReport;action=display;num=1077742874 The main problems start when lots...

A guy casts a 9th-level heightened Darkness spell on his belt buckle and walks into an area covered by the light from 2 Daylight spells (cast, as normal, at 3rd level), cast on poles standing right next to each other. What happens? By the rules, the "dimness" (20% concealment) caused by the...

http://3.5srd.com is awesome. I use it all the time. Unfortunately, that means that it's down now, because it ran out of bandwidth due to all of use pounding on it. Did anyone download the Sovelior html version? I knew that's what I should have done, instead of pounding on their site...

I apologize if this had been discussed to death, but you can't search for terms like AOO TWF, etc. and that's the only way to find this stuff. I just tried for an hours to search here at on Google groups and wizards with other terms, but it just doesn't work. Basically, do the TWF penalities...

In 3.0 is was errated in the DMG that the non-instantaneous effects from supernatural abilities could be dispelled. (Seemed to make sense to me, because it seemed too powerful that a paralyze or wall of ice from a monster was simply un-dispellable). However, due to the fact that this errata...

Does a ray-based spell that misses it's target continue on and have a chance of hitting a different target beyond the one you were aiming at? In a recent combat, the DM ruled that the Searing Light that we where casting (ranged touch attack) at a monk-like undead monster (high touch AC) would...

I'm standing next to the cleric with Magic Circle against evil on him. Next to me, outside the ward from the circle, is an elemental with no SR, so it can't get through the circle. If I attack the elemental: A: The elemental can't attack me b: The elemental can attack me back (because the...

During a recent combat, a gelatinous cube snuck up on us from behind, and cornered the only player who was in the back, the wizard. The thing slid over the top of him, and he failed his reflex save to get out of it's way. The rest of us were up in the front of the battle, and couldn't do much...

In a recent combat, an Ogre mage was invisible, flying somewhere, and I wanted to ready an attack (with a magic missle spell of my own) to disrupt his casting. My ready trigger was to hit him with the MM when I saw him or heard him, with a clear intent expressed to my DM that I was trying to...

Hey, I need your thoughts on this rules question. The following text is quoted from the PHB, page 138: "Combat while Mounted: With a successful Ride check (DC 5), you can guide your mount with your knees so as to use both hands to attack or defend yourself while mounted. If your mount moves...

I asked about multiple attack monsters and characters, which was explained nicely by others here. However, we didn't really cover AOO's from monster, like trolls with multiple attacks. If a troll only gets to swing once, with his claw, at full attack bonus, during an AOO, then here's good...

I think I understand that a character, no matter if they have 2 weapons, or many attacks (because of being a high-level fighter), needs to use the full attack action to get to swing more than once (nevermind things like the extra partial action from haste, for now) Does a monster like a troll...

One of the players in my group is a monk/sorcerer. He recently used mage armor and the shield spell in a combat to increase his AC to something around 28 (we are all 4th level characters). Since mage armor provides an armor bonus, and shield provides a cover bonus, they stack. It seemed like a...

Is anyone else troubled by the cost of Magical Ammunition? By the book a +1 arrow is 47 gp (2350 gp / 50 arrows), and since if an arrow hits, it's destroyed, and when missing destroyed 50% of the time, I feel it's more of a one-use item. It seems expensive to me for a bow fighter dude to have...
