[QUOTE="KahlessNestor, post: 7229263, member: 6801311"] 1. No, I guess people don't have to roll. I just have a fondness for rolling (and it goes with the "born this way" theme). 2. Magic items: Trickier, but I have given it some thought. Yes, they can use them -- depending. The magic is inherent in the item, so they could use a +1 sword, for example. But any magic that requires activation they would be unable to use. So they couldn't activate the flames of a flametongue sword, though it would still count as magic for the purposes of resistance and such. They couldn't activate wands or rings of invisibility, but a +1 Ring of Protection would work (always on). If a magic weapon is used on them, I would say they would be immune to at least parts of it. For example, a +1 sword will probably maintain the accuracy bonus to hit them (inherent in the item), but the Null would be immune to the +1 damage. But...a sword is a sword. It's still going to hurt. They would be immune to any activated effects, like the flames of a flametongue sword. 3. I am looking forward to some of the creative use of spells to get around the Null. I would probably rule you can't levitate the gravel, though. It isn't a single object. But if they're standing on a stone slab or boulder, and it doesn't violate the weight restrictions of the spell (including the weight of the Null), then yes, levitate that rock -- and the man standing on it! Throw that tree at him with telekinesis when you find you can't actually grab the man himself. All valid. Or start the grass on fire around him with your fire bolt. [/QUOTE]
