But I could certainly tell my DM that I intend to use the Haste potion as (improvised) weapon ! To be thrown at the enemy. Then I can draw it as a free action while moving. Once drawn, of course, I drink it :-) It still respects the rules !

What about the alternative thing I wanted to do ? My character wanted to "get the potion in hand" as a free action while he was taking a move. Here's how I see it: it doesn't require much concentration so it should be allowed much the same as "Draw a Weapon" is a free action when combined with...

Hi, The other day, during a fight, my character decided to drink a Haste potion. I had a free hand, so thats not a problem. The PHB on page 141 states that it's a standard action. But since I didn't already have the potion in hand (it was on my belt), my Dungeon Master told me I also had to...

Oh, that's an old item from a little-known 2nd edition book. You need to be cleric to use it.

Ok ! Another question here: I DO know the command word for the Rod, so I don't have to "Activate Blindly" the item. Does that mean that I can't suffer a mishap ? If that's the case, can I simply try using the item again and again (not with Take 10 or Take 20) until I get a result of 20+...

Hello ! My character is a lvl 4 rogue, I have only one rank in Use Magic Device and my charisma bonus is +1. So my total modifier for that skill is +2. Our cleric has died and he was the only one in the party that could use a Rod of Resurrection that he owns. My question is, since we are now...

Sound of Azure, it seems that IN ALL OF THIS, ignorance is sometimes beneficial. It's hard to understand the logic behind it.

I suppose that what you meant was "invisible characters that the defender isn't aware of". Allright. Perhaps they don't create a flanking situation. But they can make attacks of opportunity, right ?

I'm the original poster. I KNEW the other rogue was there, and I could see him (barely, but still). And I just thought of another thing, Irdeggman's post seems to imply that there was no flanking since the other rogue didn't threaten the enemy's square. But obviously, if the enemy would have...

Oops ok, I posted my reply too late. Thanks for the help.

What are you smoking ??? Where does that diagram come from ??? Unless I've been away from this forum for too long, and there's AGAIN another update to the rules, here's some text from the Player's Handbook v. 3.5 (about sneak attacks): Basically, the rogue's attack deals extra damage any time...

Hi ! I'm a rogue in a D&D game, and last night we came upon a special case. I was in front of an enemy, who had already acted in that round. So I wasn't able to do a sneak attack on him since he wasn't flatfooted. Next thing you know, the other rogue in the group (who was invisible) does a...

Hi ! I'm looking in my Monster Manual 2, p.53. This is the page for the Crimson Death. The description says the creature has 2 attacks (which are touch attacks). Listed under damage is "Blood Drain". The description of Blood Drain is that it inflicts immediately inflicts 1d4 constitution...

Hello ! During our last night of D&D, I think our DM grossly miscalculated the amout of experience awarded to our group for killing a Crimson Death. Would one of you be kind enough to calculate its worth in XP and post a reply ? That would help. Thanks in advance !

Hello all, My dungeon master keeps insisting that I need to use Masterwork arrows in order to get the Strength bonus from my mighty bow :\ What do you all think ? Is he right ? One way or the other, can you justtify your answer by quoting a rule somewhere in some book ? Please reply ...
