Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dharuhk Svahre" data-source="post: 5541322" data-attributes="member: 6668704">Shayuri: The fact that both the exceptional deflection shield and the infinite deflection shield say 'any time' is actually what convinces me that Exceptional does only work once per round. If the use of any time implied that it could be used as many times as you wanted, the Infinite Deflection shield would not specifically state before hand it works on any number of attacks each round. As the Exceptional does not state that, it indicates to me at least that it is not intended to do so. I know we have moved past that part, but I just wanted to make sure you knew why I feel this way. Now, back to the spell turning. As far as I can tell, you are correct in the ray/effect thing, however I am going to use my all mighty powers as the DM to change that. Ray spells are called effects because Ray's can have effects that have durations, while the ray itself dissappears after use. Its an oversight of Spell Turning. There is no reason logically why you can turn magic missiles, but not magical beams. As such I will call rays an exception to the effect rule on spellturning. Everyone: Now, I'm adding a bit of homework to character backgrounds as to how they pertain to knowledge checks. I would like each character to have 5-10 things known about them or exploits thay have accomplished, or important events they were involved in. After that, pick a knowledge skill (or more should you choose) to be associated with your character, in addition to knowledge history. Then I would like you to pick a base Knowledge Check DC for each piece of info between 10 and 40, then add a d20 to determine the Knowledge check DC. This process is optional for you to do, however I will warn anybody who chooses to skip the process or submit less than 5 things that I will be going through your characters and choosing information and DCs myself. Long story short if there are facts about your character you want to remain hidden, then choose for me.</blockquote>
