Multiple Weapon Buffs !?

[Hypersmurf]

Why? A druid doing this would be unable to attack for the first 2 rounds of combat and be using 2 of their limited spells per day.

Something I find amusing is the Staff of Oaken Battle in the Complete Divine; a staff of black oak designed to allow a druid to protect himself in the wild. It contains the Shillelagh and Spikes spells, each costing one charge.

And yet, since it's not a non-magical staff, the Shillelagh can only be cast on another weapon...

Under your most reasonable interpretation, it's now an invalid target, and the spell stops working.

Do you really want a set of rules where it's necessary to add notes like "this spell does not stop working when you cast it"?

Experiment:
A wizard changes into a dire ape and receives animal growth and nature's favor from the party druid. Then he changes into a stone giant. Does he keep the bonuses?

Yes, as cheap as it seems -_-.

Looks right.

Looks right.

Based on what?

 

[Hypersmurf]

Based on what?

Hmm? Based on the fact that he's a valid target for the spell when it's cast.

If you rule that someone has to remain a valid target for the duration of the spell...

... well, you end up with the posts from me and Saeviomagy in this thread

Should he rules, in your opinion, always state exceptions explicitly? Even when they're utterly self-evident from the context?

Indeed, it seems utterly self-evident to me that you can cast spikes and shillelagh on the same weapon.

No, no - you can cast Shillelagh and Spikes on the same weapon.

Spikes and Shillelagh doesn't work

I think the fact that it's obvious from context that a lot of spells don't require continuous polling of target validity - that it's obvious they only require a valid target at casting time - makes it most reasonable to assume it's a general rule, since it's not stated otherwise anywhere.
