    I feel like a newbie asking this, but...

    The SRD doesn't strictly say it, but I always interpreted it as "If the human shares two highest-level classes, choose one to determine the favored class"

    Sneak attack from concealment?

    Thanks for your responses. This thought might have come from Blink indeed. But.. trying to sneak attack while blinking will pose problems on itself, if you ask me. For one, wouldn't blinking count as others having concealment vs you (since you have the miss chance), or is that just some unnamed...

    Sneak attack from concealment?

    I could swear that when you have concealment vs someone, you can make sneak attacks to that someone. Searching through the books, I can't find any rules to back that up though. Can somebody please tell me where to find this rule? Or prove me wrong about this, of course :) Thanks!

    Casting underwater

    Hi all, I'm wondering about the possibilities of casting spells with a verbal while you're underwater (we'll leave the the possibility of fumbling wet spellcomponents outside of this for now). To quote the SRD: "To cast a spell, you must be able to speak". While the incantation might be able to...

    Understood. Thanks Hyp, your explanation is very clear and imaginative!

    How dark is magical darkness?

    The spell Darkness: With this spell it might not be a big problem, but with spells like Deeper Darkness and Utterdark (source: Book of Vile Darkness), the radius of the darkness gets bigger and I can't find any reference to how dark it is exactly. The DMG isn't much help, it focuses on persons...

    Brilliant Aura and natural weapons

    Brilliant Aura, from Complete Divine: "You limn your allies in a glowing nimbus, transforming their attacks into brilliant energy. Each person affected by this aura gives off light as a torch (20 foot radius). Their weapon attacks (melee or ranged) function as if their weapons were brilliant...

    Bull Rush-What's the Point?

    I don't like the action either... never used it. There's one situation I could imagine it being used though; if your friend the spellcaster is being bashed to bits by a BBEG, you can bull rush the BBEG away from him.

    Huge weapons?

    I'm looking for a table with huge weapons. A conversion table if dice damage with scaling weapons would do as well. I can't find any on de SRD :( Anyone?

    What is an abberation?

    English is not my mother language and I have no idea what an abberation is. I've seen some in the MM, but can't find the common features that makes it an abberation. The dictionary doesn't help either, so I'm asking you: What defines an abberation? Thanks

    Creating a 'point buy' for prestige classes

    I'm not trying to accomplish such a thing as you're suggesting, I'm merely trying to look for a good, balanced way to create more prestige classes. Every time when I create a new character, I look through the prestige classes in numerous books (I guess that's what alot of people do nowadays...

    Creating a 'point buy' for prestige classes

    I'd like to create a table where all (or at least many) features of prestige classes are rated and given points. I'm thinking the whole thing here - prereq's, BAB, saves, skills, feats, spell progression etc. The purpose of this all is to be able to create new balanced prestige classes. Is there...

    What is my "range increment" with a crossbow sight

    Yes and no. It does improve the range you can shoot at without penalties, but it does not improve PBS. Just substract 2 from the range increments the target is in, with a minimum of 0

    Is Scorching Ray Too Good?

    I'm currently playing a rogue 2/sorcerer 4 (going arcane trickster etc) and just gained my 4th sorcerer level, thus having to pick one 2nd level spell to cast 4 times a day. It was a very tough choice to make, having both Acid Arrow and Scorching Ray to choose from. In the end I picked SR and...

    Casting divine spells with shield and weapon

    After tonight's game session, I had a disagreement with one of my friends about casting a divine spell with a somatic component while having both a shield and a weapon in hands. He's under the impression that you can cast a divine spell under such circomstances because the shield only invokes...

    Shooting a spell in the distance

    I was wondering: If I shoot a ranged touch spell (e.g. Acid Arrow) as a -say- 10th level wizard, it has a maximum range of 800 feet. That surely is a long distance to target something, isn't there something like a range increment for such spells?
