Quote from: Runestar on June 07, 2009, 09:54:23 AMq181) Can anyone explain how a mindflayer is able to actually grapple anyone successfully when all its tentacles simply end up being attached to the victim's head? By RAW, it seems that when it wins a grapple attempt (somehow), its tentacles attach to the victim's head...and he becomes unable to cast spells as though he were actually being grappled, simply because there are a few tentacles connected to his head? A181: I think the idea is that the Mind Flayer grabs the guy and physically grapples him to the ground, and in the process sticks tentacles to his head. It's supported by the rules of grappling, if not by the mechanics of a Mind Flayer in particular.Alternatively, it's really hard to cast spells when there are tentacles on your head with an enzyme that is dissolving the hair, skin, and bone right off of your brain.

You caught a fish. It was awesome.
It is a shame stupidity isn't painful.
Totally true. Historians believe that most past civilizations would have endured for centuries longer if they had successfully determined Batman's alignment.
Why are so many posts on the board the equivalent of " Dear Dr. Crotch, I keep punching myself in the crotch, and my groin hurts... what should I do? How can I make my groin stop hurting?"
I suggest carving "Don't be a dick" into him with a knife. A dull, rusty knife. A dull, rusty, bent, flaming knife.

I don't even stat out commoners. Commoner = corpse that just isn't a zombie. Yet.
When I think "Old Testament Boots of Peace" I think of a paladin curb-stomping an orc and screaming "Your death brings peace to this land!"
Buy a small country. Or Pelor. Both are good investments.
Q187: Is there an Armor Enhancement somewhere that lets you add your armor's (base) AC bonus to Touch AC?
A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show. Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH! Behind door number 2: A magic crown! Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!

I give you much fu.

A 186: It involved the Renegade Mastermaker (Magic of Eberron), a PrC which turns you into a warforged. A link at 339 here: http://forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archive/index.php/t-543673 (unfortunately, it seems to be whitescreened)The gist of it was taking all the cost reducing creation feats, then making slotless power crystals and embedding them into your body. The RM gives you a hit point boost for every embedded component, so you basically spend all your wealth pumping up your PP and HP. The blurb that I have in my handy links says you get around 500 or so, but I think later on in the thread they managed to crank it higher than that.
Q189: Is there any limit on the number of points that a Cosmic Descryer can add to a check using Cosmic Connection, assuming infinite HP?http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/prestigeClasses/cosmicDescryer.htm
Did they even try to balance Epic?
Quote from: Negative Zero on June 08, 2009, 04:13:56 PMDid they even try to balance Epic?Yes, it is perfectly balanced for destroying the snot out of everything pre-epic.
I'll re-ask because it got bumped back two pages:Q 179:Regarding the boosts Dancing/Raging Mongoose:They are swift to activate and they state that you get one or two extra attacks at your full BAB. Can you use this on a charge to get more than one attack?
Q133: Synchronicity: Does it actually grant you an extra readied action, or does it just not cost you actions outside of the action in question to ready that action?

I'm concerned with the usefulness of the combination of Linked Power + Synchronicity, to gain an extra standard action to use in response to someone else's action. Possible?

Possible?You do not spend any action in order to gain the granted readied action. A twinned Synchronicity gives you two standard actions readied.
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks
Q190: If a person has a Contingent Spell of Fire Shield, or any other spell that requires a decision to be made at the time of casting, when is that decided: During the crafting of the Contingent Spell, or when the conditions are fulfilled and the spell goes off? If the latter, who makes the decision: the caster or the 'holder' of the contingency?
