Gfunk-JollyDoc Crossover Story Hour [Updated 4/30]

[gfunk]

Nondetection gives a chance to prevent any divination except for discern location. The DC is 15+caster level if you cast nondetection on your self or 11+caster level if you cast it on others.

Spot is not a class skill for Wizards, meaning that the Lich Queen is not likely to have a very high modifier.

 

[JollyDoc]

Remind me again why nondetection prevents true seeing from working? I thought it only prevented detect spells of divinations.

And even if it doesn't i'd expect a lich (+8 spot just for the class) and a 25th lvl person to have enough spot to figure out where any invisible people are considering its only a dc 40 to locate the exact spot of invisible and a dc 20 to at least know they are nearby.

Our group actually had this conversation a while back. The spell description of non-detection says any divination, not specifically Detect spells, so True Seeing would be included. In any case, it was a moot point because the Palace of Whispers had a continual Invisibility Purge in effect.

 

[Lela]

Why Spot? I would have thought Listen, if anything.

I'm sure JollyDoc will respond, but you definitely have not offended him. Once you read the update, the source of the *sigh* will become all too clear.

BTW, thanks everyone for your input. Of the many suggestions that you gave, I will say this -- one of them is exactly correct!

As soon as I pick up my gaming notes from JollyDoc's house (forgot 'em there when we gamed) I will put up the update (tonight, I hope).

Got them notes, yet ???

And, BTW, I think Lela just might be the one with the correct guess. That first meeting was probably just a little sparring round for the opponents to get to know the other party...

 

[gfunk]

As a side question, I've been doing a little rereading. What's going on with Dante?

We never resolved what happened to Dante following the Great War. In real life, though, I'm sure he is enjoying marital bliss.

 

[gfunk]

Got them notes, yet ???

Yep, drove to JollyDoc's house last night and picked 'em up.

Update tonight. Cross my heart . . .

 

[Lela]

Update tonight. Cross my heart . . .

Isn't that dangerious for your kind to do? I mean, yeah, you can defend against sunlight but a cross? Well that's a little more perminant.

 

[Mortepierre]

Edit: Do you need a feat for those spells?

Absolutely, it's called Epic Spellcasting. It's not exactly risk-free though...

 

[Lela]

Yeah, that's what I thought. Kinda makes me wonder why Entropy didn't take it. Or did she. . .

Hmmm, can't seem to find the stats. Wow, this thread has been majorly trimmed.

 

[gfunk]

Entropy's stats are on p. 3, post #56. The reason I didn't take Epic Spellcasting is b/c of the extreme XP and gp costs to develop epic spells. I would be better off waiting for a few more levels.
