The Invasion of Mori OOC [3.5][planar][PAUSED]

[Shayuri]

For one round, until he gets another save.

I suspect it was a freakishly bad roll that made him fail this time.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Bah, then kill him quickly peoples! I'm only one bard, I can't do everything!

Random Musings

Isida - I just realized that I forgot to check for SR. My mistake; you profit.

Voidrazor - You know, looking more closely at FoP etherealness I'm not sure where their gear goes when they possess an object. It states that "etheralness ends," but surely the object isn't wearing their gear. It would be awkward for it to just fall on the ground where they wind up. If it's kept in potential, then I suppose that would explain things.

Pyrex - I meant to bring this up a while ago: Aldred has a healing belt. I assume this is for the benefit of the living and not himself. Feel free to edit if it's a negative energy healing belt.

 

[Pyrex]

OOC: It's positive energy. I used it shortly after arrival to heal Rose.

 

[moritheil]

That would probably be why I have that impression, then!

 

[moritheil]

I'm curious because:

OOC: Yes, he currently has 60’ (Good) flying maneuverability which allows him to hover.

Feats: (6/6)
Imp. Flight, Flyby Attack, Greater Flyby Attack, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot

Normal

Without this feat, a creature must keep moving while flying unless it has perfect maneuverability.

According to the SRD, good is not enough to hover in place.

Please either post rules that say otherwise or edit your full attack. Thanks!

That was not what I was asked to verify. As reference:

Bloodweaver - Is the gargoyle maneuverable enough to hover? If not, you need to describe yourself as flying around. It does make a difference because you might incur attacks of opportunity.

In accordance with the rules section hyperlinked above a creature with Good manaueverability can Hover in place. It would appear that there is some kind of conflict of information. I have no objection if you choose to have a creature requiring this feat in order to perform this action. Just let me know what rules section you plan on following and what you do or do not know so I can go out and verify the correct information for you.

Wow, that's really odd. Sorry for the trouble. I'll post up asking if anyone has seen any errata.

 

[Shayuri]

If it helps, I'm pretty sure there's no errata for Good manueverability.

It's always been able to hover. It's the "hummingbird" level of mobility. Surpassed only by Perfect, which is Air Elemental mobility...ie - total freedom of movement in the air.

Maybe the question ought to be, are gargoyles Good or Average manueverability...says Average in my SRD...but if he's got a feat or item that improves that, then he should be able to hover.

Voidrazor - You know, looking more closely at FoP etherealness I'm not sure where their gear goes when they possess an object. It states that "etheralness ends," but surely the object isn't wearing their gear. It would be awkward for it to just fall on the ground where they wind up. If it's kept in potential, then I suppose that would explain things.

The Fiend Folio text is pretty vague on this. It says "a fiend possessing a creature becomes part of the victim, so it is no longer ethereal. It
cannot be targeted by spells or attacks separately from the victim, including attacks from ethereal creatures." So I imagine the magic items either cease to exist while the FoP is possessing, or they continue to effect the FoP, due to being in the same 'place', but can't effect anyone else.
