I quoted an email from the Sage, and am explaining the reasoning behind it. Really, I'm not questioning your manhood or anything like that, so please try and be civil.Second: yes, you're right, a straight line. The point is, you must pick the correct line. You need not pick a specific 5' cube, but you do need to specify a direction.Say I'm standing in the center of a room with two doors, one each on the north and east walls. I think my long-time nemesis is standing behind the eastern door, waiting to ambush me. I fire a Phase Arrow to the east, with the instruction to strike "Grog the Evil." However, Grog is actually behind the northern door. My arrow passes through the east door, and continues on to the end of its range, but does not hit Grog because it cannot turn in midair.To say it another way: when firing a Phase Arrow, choose a straight path for the arrow to follow, ignoring physical barriers. If at any point along its flight, the arrow enters the square of an identified target, make the attack roll.Third: No one ever said that Phase Arrow is weaker than Seeker Arrow. It's just a different ability. For one thing, it ignores armor bonuses to AC, making it very useful for special-effect arrows (like the Arrow Of Death ability of this same PrC).Ah, okay, I didn't spot this bit before. Shall I just file you under "Sage-basher" right now, or did you want to insult me some more first?</blockquote>
