In the last session the party wizard casted time stop, shapechanged himself into a colossal dragon, and asked me if he could "cup his colossal hands" around a medium sized NPC. He wanted to make him "trapped" without touching him, in accordance with the "other creatures are invulnerable to your...

I agree, but my point is: it doesn't matter if you move from a threatened square into another threatened square. The rules state that you provoke if you move out a threatened square, no matter where you go. That's why I underlined that your argument about moving from and into another threatened...

Are you sure? Are you saying that B moved out from a threatened square? If you say so, B would be no longer in the threatened square he moved out from. But, if you look at the images, B is still in the same threatened square. Let's assume that every single square A threatens has a number, and...

Double post.

Involuntary movement provokes AoOs. From the SRD: Bull Rush Results If you beat the defender’s Strength check result, you push him back 5 feet. If you wish to move with the defender, you can push him back an additional 5 feet for each 5 points by which your check result is greater...

A medium or smaller creature would occupy only a single square, and the thread, after all, is titled "Big creatures "moving out" of threatened area". ;) Both A and B are large creatures, and are positioned in the intersection of 4 squares to clarify this, just as they are depicted in the books...

Hi there. This question came out in our last gaming session. Does a large (or larger) creature "repositioning" itself, i.e. moving without exiting an opponent threatened area, provoke an AoO? I'm attaching two images to make the question more clear. In the images, B is making the last 5ft of...

A very interesting analysis Celebrim. Thank you. Building upon it, let's assume I check my PC's saving throws, ACs, etc., and try to balance them, in order to avoid the gap you have egregiously highlighted. I could do this via magic items, and other ways. In this way I could mitigate the...

Ok, but...how? I checked the math, and I was mistaken, the epic spell grants an armor bonus of +37. The math is: Epic Seed: Armor: DC 14 (+4 bonus to AC) Change from touch or ranged touch attack to target: +4 Change from target to area (pick area option below): +10 Change area to 20-ft...

Hi there. My more-than-10-years-old campaign entered the epic realms a year ago, and since then I am having "issues" with the party wizard. I know, wizard and epic spells are not a good combination, but I'm talking about a not so optimized wizard, in a not so optimized party. The thing is, I...

I don't get why I should pay for a book that tells me "make up your own rules". I can do that for free, thanks. I want to know that what I'm going to propose to my players is something thoroughly playtested. That's what I will pay for. I will pay for a book that answers to most of the...

Well, that's not correct. The sleep spell, for example, makes the target unconscious.

Not to sound rude, but are you deliberately ignoring my replies? As I wrote twice in this small thread, the rules state that you can CdG unconscious creatures, that, in fact, are helpless. But they do not state that you can CdG helpless creatures. As written before, an unconscious character...

Which rules are you talking about? We have no rules regarding the "helpless" condition. The referee can't make up rules on the fly. In fact, he can't make up rules at all. Where? The rules state that you can CdG unconscious creatures, that, in fact, are helpless. Read them again. But it does...

The problem here is that paralized or sleeping or tied up creatures are not unconscious, and then you can't CdG them. In fact you can execute a CdG in combat, but only on unconscious creatures. So, a good question is: why can you CdG a prone, unconscious creature, but you can't CdG a prone...

Could you CdG them? They are not unconscious. In fact, an unconscious character is helpless, but not all helpless characters are unconscious. Would you allow a CdG against a paralized and/or stunned foe? The rules seem to negate CdG against stunned and/or paralized targets. Actually, I read...

Well, actually we have no "helpless" condition at the moment. So it's only a descriptive term, not a mechanical definition. It doesn't give any rules for the matter at hand. We have, instead, the unconscious condition. In fact I could ask you: is a paralized foe helpless? A sleeping or...

Probably a typo here: the intoxicated condition actually partially helps the affected creature, since it reduces the damage it suffers. Am I wrong?
