Problem Rules - Help me out with this list of debatable rules.

• Does the Bless Weapon spell (Pal 1) bypass any amount of DR on an evil creature?
  
  You could read it as either:
  Negates all DR on any evil creature
  or
  Negates DR as if it was a +1 weapon but only against evil creatures.
  
• Can you really use the Violent Thrust option of the TeleKinessis spell to throw hundreds of weapons?
  
  Normal examples are Shuriken or Daggers. As I recall, doing it with daggers would result in 250 attacks at d4 damage each.

Thanks, bret. Added to the list.

How about what can and cannot be cast during a time stop? What effects work within a timestop and such.

Okey-dokey Cloudgatherer.

On the subject of time stop, does it stack with haste?

Noted, thanks.

Theoretically speaking, Haste shouldn't work in conjuction with Time Stop since Time Stop is basically a Haste spell on crank.

Of course, Time Stop is a wierd spell that has a lot of quirks due to balance issues, among other things, so we can just throw common sense out the window.

In my opinion, Time Stop is already extremely powerful. Throwing Haste into the mix goes beyond what is acceptable, in terms of balance.

I'm going to write the Sage this evening in regard to this issue. I'll post his reply if/when it comes.

Here's the way I think Time Stop interacts with Haste:

Hast grants an extra partial action either before or after your normal action.

Time Stop grants 1d4+1 "apparent" rounds of action during your normal action.

Therefore Haste doesn't grant any extra partial actions during the Time Stop, it just grants one extra partial action before or after the action you used to cast the Time Stop.

Alright Caliban!!! Now that was the best interpretation of a spell I've seen in a long time! Consider my hat tipped!

Caliban - I wasn't arguing that, and I agree with you. I just said that it was a debatable issue.
