Can anyone explain to me why I cannot Teleport out of a grapple when it is Verbal only? How about why I can't Teleport out of a Grapple even when using the Silent Spell MetaMagic Feat? Basis: Talking is free...heck, I can even talk out of turn per the rules. But someone throws a wet noodle over me and I have to make a nigh-impossible concentration check?! lol...
The spells Shield and Mage Armor (and others) state: "Shield creates an invisible shield of force that hovers in front of you. It negates magic missile attacks directed at you." and "An invisible but tangible field of force surrounds the subject of a mage armor spell, providing a +4 armor bonus to AC." Can I see it with a See Invis spell?
Monster Summon Spell says the following:
If my summoned monster has a swim speed AND a land speed can I summon it onto land? Example would be Giant Octopus. The creatures CON score is more than enough for it to NOT have to make a suffocation roll, as it will dissapear before it would have to. Can I summon it? Thanks! R
Any ideas on your favorite 8th level Sorcerer spell? With only one to choose the decision is difficult. R
Hello all, The act of summoning aligned monsters becomes an evil or good spell based on the alignment of the creature according to the CRB. Thus, summoning angels and demons is a good or evil action. Assuming I am not a good aligned Cleric, what is to stop me from summoning EVERYTHING on the charts? Anything? I suspect that it is a GM call to a certain point, but I am curious. R
If I have an Iron Body spell going am I immune to death by massive damage? What about Ice body? Is death by massive damage due to physiology? Iron Body:
Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S, M/DF (a piece of iron from an iron golem, a hero's armor, or a war machine) Range personal Target you Duration 1 min./level (D) This spell transforms your body into living iron, which grants you several powerful resistances and abilities. You gain damage reduction 15/adamantine. You are immune to blindness, critical hits, ability score damage, deafness, disease, drowning, electricity, poison, stunning, and all spells or attacks that affect your physiology or respiration, because you have no physiology or respiration while this spell is in effect. You take only half damage from acid and fire. However, you also become vulnerable to all special attacks that affect iron golems. You gain a +6 enhancement bonus to your Strength score, but you take a –6 penalty to Dexterity as well (to a minimum Dexterity score of 1), and your speed is reduced to half normal. You have an arcane spell failure chance of 35% and a –6 armor check penalty, just as if you were clad in full plate armor. You cannot drink (and thus can't use potions) or play wind instruments. Your unarmed attack deals damage equal to a club sized for you (1d4 for Small characters or 1d6 for Medium characters), and you are considered armed when making unarmed attacks. Your weight increases by a factor of 10, causing you to sink in water like a stone. However, you could survive the lack of air at the bottom of the ocean—at least until the spell duration expires. Ice Body:
Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S Range personal Target you Duration 1 minute/level (D) Your form transmutes into living ice, granting you several abilities. You gain the cold subtype and damage reduction 5/magic. You are immune to ability score damage, blindness, critical hits, deafness, disease, drowning, electricity, poison, stunning, and all spells or attacks that affect your physiology or respiration, because you have no physiology or respiration while this spell is in effect. You cannot drink (and thus can't use potions) or play wind instruments. Your unarmed attack deals damage equal to a club sized for you (1d4 for Small characters or 1d6 for Medium characters) plus 1 point of cold damage, and you are considered armed when making unarmed attacks. You may burrow through nonmagical ice or snow at your base speed as easily as a fish swims through water. You can move through magical ice and snow if you succeed on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against a DC of 11 + the caster level of the effect; you automatically succeed on caster level checks against effects that you created. Your passage through snow and ice in this fashion leaves behind no tunnel or hole.
Hello all, If I cast a touch spell (for sake of argument a beneficial spell like a Communal-type) can I then move to the targets? I know this sounds simple on the surface but hear me out.
Are you limited to as many people are around you when you cast it? Or can you cast it and make your nomal move touching people as you go by? If you are limited to those immediately around you it seems that it limits the power of higher level spell casters that get one creature per level on many spells (as you can really only get about 9 including yourself unless you have flyers above you.) This assumes you are using miniatures and a square grid mat. Page 216 of the PHB states:
Thoughts?
Hello all, There are many spells that read "You are immune to blindness, critical hits, ability score damage, deafness, disease, drowning, electricity, poison, stunning, and all spells or attacks that affect your physiology or respiration, because you have no physiology or respiration while this spell is in effect." Examples would be Ice Body and Iron Body. Can a ghost Corrupting Touch aging attack affect you? The damage is listed as "not being negative energy" and that "it manifests in the form of physical wounds and aches and pains from supernatural aging". Can someone with no physiology age? What about death from massive damage? One could easily argue that the reason that golems and the like are immune to death by massive damage attacks stem from the fact that they have no physiology. Definition of physiology: The scientific study of an organism's vital functions, including growth and development, the absorption and processing of nutrients, the synthesis and distribution of proteins and other organic molecules, and the functioning of different tissues, organs, and other anatomic structures. Physiology studies the normal mechanical, physical, and biochemical processes of animals and plants. It seems that a creature is immune to any affect or attack that targets any biological aspect of a normal, living creature. Thoughts? Thanks!
