[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 4588453, member: 12731"] Thanks Eldorian for trying, but I'm not really asking for made-up pseudo-credible explanations here... ;-) I'm fairly confident of of my opinion, which is that any such artifical-feeling mechanisms sucks big time, and that I won't have anything to do with them. Thus I've changed the (errataed) PHB language from to The same goes for other classes with similar class features, of course (i.e. Warlock's Curse). That final part is for a very straight-forward reason: if you can't shoot it, you shouldn't be able to quarry it. And if you can shoot it (which you can even if it's invisible), you should be able to quarry it. Put simply, don't try to place your Quarry if you [I]know[/I] there's an enemy hidden behind a boulder nearby (assuming he's closer than any visible foes). However, in this case I will tell you "you can't do that" when you attempt to take your minor action. (This leaves you with your minor action intact - you don't lose the designate action when it would "fail" because of this rule.) [/QUOTE]
