[QUOTE="JustinAlexander, post: 6095810, member: 6700092"] That's not what I said. Apparently your reading comprehension here is as poor as your reading comprehension when looking at the rulebooks. I will accept your apologies for your needless slander at your earliest convenience. [color=red][B]Mod Note: Ladies and Gents, Rules #1 of EN World is, "Keep it civil". We expect you to abide by it, and slipping to personal insults of mental faculties fails in that respect. Keep it classy, or hold off posting until you can. Thanks. ~Umbran[/B][/color] The description of the "flaming" weapon quality doesn't say it works like a spell. The description of [I]bracers of armor[/I] doesn't say they work like a spell. The description of the oak [I]feather token[/I] doesn't say it works like a spell. Well, you've finally found an item that says it works like a spell. Fortunately, it's an excellent example of why you're wrong. The [I]necklace of fireballs[/I] states: "When the sphere arrives at the end of its trajectory, it detonates as a [I]fireball[/I] spell..." Now, riddle me this: What is the radius of that explosion? You are, of course, completely baffled by this riddle. After all, you've claimed that we're not allowed to look at the spell description of [I]fireball[/I] in order to see how the effect works. Everyone else, on the other hand, understands what I said several messages ago: When a rule in D&D says that it functions like spell X and then lists exceptions, it means it works like spell X except for those exceptions. (Which, in case this is still baffling you, means that we're capable of looking at the description of a [I]necklace of fireballs[/I], noting the exceptions to the spell description -- i.e., the range, the saving throw, and the amount of damage inflicted -- and then applying the rest of the rules from the [I]fireball[/I] spell.)
