I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place but...

How do you stop this class? I find it WAY over powering and can't seem to do anything about it wrecking encounters. I know the actual summoner is the key but in a group of characters all of which are being aggressive except him it makes it hard to justify why the baddies would target him out.

Any info would be great.

I have a question that is about to tear my group apart and ended a night of gaming.

First, half the table are pro 2nd ed and hate anything new the other half are used to 3.5. Just need to set that up

Here it is

Halfling is standing in FRONT of a mage. Mage casts color spray, cone effect, in the direction of the halfling in order to hit two bandits.

He wants to "angle the cone upward so it goes over the halfling and the base of the cone hits the bandits"

what is/are the OFFICIAL rule(s) on this?

I argued no, it works on a 5' cube volume theory. It just hits the areas and that is that.

I am then argued that the halfling is also not LOOKING at the mage so it shouldn't effect him either way.

>.<

I am then argued that by that logic you can never cast "UP" as in, if a bird or dragon was above you how would you cast on it?

WotC (yes i know this isn't WotC) says the game is played on a 2D grid and it is assumed that everything is more or less on the same level. Falling off a cliff and such can't be shown with figures and just has to be assumed.

I am overruled, after an hour and a half mind you, by the GM.

<begin private rant> I am also told I like things to black and white, and because the book uses "her" as a pronoun, as it is in BLACK AND WHITE, nothing should effect male characters</begin private rant>

any help here would be killer.
