D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] countering Ray of Enfeeblement

[Pax]

And really, not everything has a counter. The only perfect counter to Ray of Enfeeblement is a wizard readying an action to counterspell.

Or be incorporeal.

FWIW, dispel magic will work, too. If you can succeed at the caster level check, of course.

D'oh.. 3.5 PHB explicitly says "(such as a ray of enfeeblement)" in the text of what Lesser Restoration removes. My bad.

 

[Caliban]

Wouldn't Death Ward work as well, at higher levels?

Really? It doesn't say that at all in the SRD. *groan*

Or be incorporeal.

That would only give you a 50% miss chance.

 

[Dinkeldog]

Though I don't think I'd allow a cleric to counterspell with it.

That was just me trying to give myself a reason to move this to House Rules.

Lesser restoration has, however, a casting time of 3 rounds. Better to keep a potion of lesser restoration handy.

No, it would render Ray of Enfeeblement absolutely moot ... incorporeal creatures have no Strength score!!!

Can't deal damage to something that isn't there, after all. Kinda like trying to deal CON damage to a contruct, or an undead critter. It just doesn't do anything.

Let me lend ya a hand there, mate:

Half-orcs are underpowered. How about giving them the spell-like ability to use ray of enfeeblement 3 times per day to make them balanced?

- Somebody call the moderators - this thread should be in House Rules! Darkness
