Nevermind. Disregard that last message. I just got it in the mail. Thanks for all the assistance! :)

I seem to be having the worst luck with this order. Now, it appears that the shipment has been in UPS limbo for 10 days with no signs of activity. Can ya do anything to get UPS to push the package along?

Hi there,

According to the tracking link, the shipment reached the Post Office in Lafayette on Tuesday. Hopefully if you set up forwarding on Monday, they will be able to get it to the right place. Since the shipment was estimated to take 2 - 10 business days from the 2nd when it was sent out, the last day it would have to reach you would be the 16th. Usually when there are holdups after transfers, it just takes a little bit of extra time but does eventually make it to the destination. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the wait.

I would say to give the shipment a little more time to see if there is any movement in the right direction, or if it starts heading back to us. If the 16th rolls around and you still have not received anything, I will be glad to set up a replacement to be sent directly to your updated address. Again, I'm sorry for all the confusion with this order.

Please let me know if there are any further questions or concerns that I'd be able to help out with in the meantime, and I'd be more than happy to do so.

Thanks!
Katina

Erm... Status? Response at least? Something?

Ok... The order was passed to the post office on the 7th. I know mail can be slow sometimes, but I highly doubt it's taking more than two weeks to get from one post office to another and then to my house. So, I'm pretty sure its a good bet that it got delivered to the wrong address...

Well, no luck today. I do apologize for the hassle. It is pretty much my fault for not paying attention to the shipping address. I just assumed it matched the billing and wasn't thinking about it at the time. I'll keep looking out for it the next few days. Maybe it's just taking a bit more because it is getting forwarded. I don't know, but thought I should at least update on this.

Well, UPS tracking shows that the package was handed off to the post office in Kansas City, MO on Apr 4 2015. There isn't any other tracking following that, nor tracking numbers for once it got into USPS. I filed for address forwarding through USPS on Monday as soon as I saw your message. Still nothing received though. Unsure if it's still in transit with USPS or what...

Hi, I just sent an email to customer service about this but I thought I'd try here too. It seems I wasn't paying as close attention to what I was doing when I made this order and failed to notice it's shipping to my old address. Unfortunately, I haven't lived at that address for more than 3 years now. I've updated my address on my account here, but the order has already shipped. I was wanting to know if there's anything you can do to update the address with UPS before it gets delivered to the wrong address. Please let me know as soon as possible as to what can be done in this situation. Thanks.

1) It is two standard actions, I'd probably cast first, then throw the rope. You lose a round, but they don't have time to walk away.

2) It would be the normal DC for that spell unless stated otherwise. Spell focus would apply.

3) It is a free action to drop something, but that drops it in your square. To hit a square even 5' from you requires a touch attack. Don't forget hitting a square is ridiculously easy AC5.

Well, shoot. I kinda figured that was the case for all of that. I might be able to pull it off once or twice at level 1 with a GM not privy to my idea. But once they figure out my tactic the chances of doing it more often are slim, at least until I can control the rope for more than one round. Thanks for responding though.

I've been considering making a Transmutation Wizard. He's basically going to be a fat lazy dude that will use anything at his disposal to avoid fighting, moving, touching things, etc. As part of this, I want to be using animate rope to get out of combat. So, my questions relate specifically to this paragraph in the spell description:

"The rope can enwrap only a creature or an object within 1 foot of it—it does not snake outward—so it must be thrown near the intended target. Doing so requires a successful ranged touch attack roll (range increment 10 feet). A typical 1-inch-diameter hemp rope has 2 hit points, AC 10, and requires a DC 23 Strength check to burst it. The rope does not deal damage, but it can be used as a trip line or to cause a single opponent that fails a Reflex saving throw to become entangled. A creature capable of spellcasting that is bound by this spell must make a concentration check with a DC of 15 + the spell's level to cast a spell. An entangled creature can slip free with a DC 20 Escape Artist check." --Core Rulebook

So, from this description, does it mean it would take two standard actions(one to throw the rope and two to cast the spell assuming the rope stays on/near the target), two different rolls(a ranged touch and a reflex save), just to get someone entangled? (If this is the case, its a sad, sad day for the usefulness of this spell.)

Secondly, what is the reflex save DC? Is it based on the player's level 1 spell DC? Would this be modified by the player's spell focus in Transmutation? (I only ask, because the spell itself does not require a save.)

Lastly, (this is based on the first question in a way) if an opponent is in a square adjacent to the player, could the player simply drop a readied rope into that opponent's square, 5-foot adjust back, then cast animate rope to entangle the opponent? Would this work to defeat the need for two standard actions? Would this then be a ranged touch attack or just a reflex save?

P.S. Sorry, for the long first post, but I've been searching the forums and there seems to be many conflicting answers on how the spell operates.
