Thank you. Illusion spells are common in all kinds of roleplaying games. All either point out that you can create a MOVING illusion, or only a STATIC illusion. This description does neither. Your first "no" says: you can only create static illusions? E.g. not a spoon that bends?

You can create an image that moves while you concentrate on it, but it's not going to move in a way that's convincing to observers as they move their eyeline even a little bit.

Figment
A figment spell creates a false sensation. Those who perceive the figment perceive the same thing, not their own slightly different versions of the figment. (It is not a personalized mental impression.) Figments cannot make something seem to be something else.
If you move your head a bit left or right and you don't get a different viewpoint, you'll reasonably suspect that it's a figment.

I disagree with that interpretation. The parenthetical note clarifies that the meaning of the statement is that details are specified entirely by the person creating the illusion, not filled in by the viewer's mind. It has nothing to do with differences in viewing angle.

You assume that the illusion is 2d, in which case moving your head makes sense. If it is a 3d illusion your comment does not make sense. I don't see in the spell that it is a 2d illusion.
I opened a "proper" thread, this seems to be too complicated for Q&A. Thank you!

Q108: Combat Brute has Momentum swing, does the attack the following turn have the same penalties as the one the previous round, no penalties to attack, or a penalty of your choice(as if power attacking again this turn)?

Q109:
Is there an arcane low level illusion spell that can create complex auditory illusions - e.g. spoken language? The lvl 0 cantrip ghost sound cannot do that, neither can minor (or for that matter, major) image.

Q110:
Would holding a stack of bones which have had bone talisman let druids use the turn undead uses in the bones to fuel divine metamagic. EG: A druid has 7 bone talismans would that allow him to fuel Divine metamagic persist?
Q111:
Would a druid casting bone talisman on a bone to give it a turn undead attempt and handing it to a cleric allow the cleric to use the bone talisman towards fueling divine metamagic?

Hi, first time posting a question here, so apologies if I muck anything up.:smallredface:
Q112
When using a bolt or an arrow as an improvised weapon, does it have the same crit range as a dagger(19-20), or does it only crit on 20?
Q113
When using a bolt or an arrow as an improvised weapon, does it only have the piercing damage type, or does it deal "piercing or slashing" as a dagger?
Quote:
An arrow used as a melee weapon is treated as a light improvised weapon (–4 penalty on attack rolls) and deals damage as a dagger of its size (critical multiplier x2).
Q114
Are bolts interchangable between different types of crossbows?
Can a bolt for a light crossbow be used for a heavy crossbow?
How about between a light crossbow and a hand crossbow?
Or between a light crossbow and a repeating light crossbow?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A 112 Natural 20 only.
Quote:
An improvised weapon scores a threat on a natural roll of 20 and deals double damage on a critical hit.
A 113 Ask your DM.
Quote:
To determine the size category and appropriate damage for an improvised weapon, compare its relative size and damage potential to the weapon list to find a reasonable match.
The "appropriate damage" for an improvised weapon includes the amount of damage and the type of damage. The rules already specify the amount, but it's up to the DM to determine the type. Practically speaking, an arrow is only suitable for piercing damage (since it would break easily when striking with any lateral force), so that's the way most DMs would call it.
A 114 Ask your DM.
Bolts for light and heavy crossbows have the same cost and weight, but that's not the same as saying they're the same size. The answer depends on whether the difference of a heavy crossbow compared to a light crossbow is in a longer pull or just stouter construction, in addition to the loading mechanics. The rules don't have this level of detail, so it's up to the individual DM whether the bolts are interchangeable.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A115: No, check the monster entry for caster level.
For example, a Nymph with 6 hit dice casts as a 7th level druid. Use 7 for the caster level check.
A110: No. Bone talisman requires "You or another druid may present the bone in the manner of a holy symbol and use it to turn undead" (a standard action). The spell itself does not offer an alternative use of the bone in that manner, so it can only be used as a standard action, (Unlike, for instance, a Nightstick - from Libris Mortis).
A111: No, due to the standard action required use.

Q116: Can you still see, hear, taste, smell, and feel if you fall prey to the Time Stop spell?
-
Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A 116
Yes, provisionally. Time Stop has no victims; the only person affected by it is the caster, who is accelerated to such a degree that time seems to stop for everybody else.

Q118
Is it possible by raw to remove one of the alignments to allow my companions passage even if they aren't lawful? (The password won't work since too many people will know it, and the. It's a matter of time before the enemy knows it as well).
-
Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A 118. I am assuming you are asking about Forbiddance? If so, No.
Perhaps you'd be interested in Dimensional Lock? Or seek DM approval for a researched custom version.

Q 119
I'm about to run an adventure module and one of the npcs has a potion of clairaudience/clairvoyance.
My question is whether this potion is even useable as intended.
The RAW says the person creating the potion makes any decisions about the effect - which I would normally interpret meaning that the location of the sensor is determined by the potion creator... should I change the potion to something else?
-
Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A 119: The potion is not usable as (probably) intended.
What you should do is beyond the scope of the thread, but you basically have two choices to make the treasure usable per RAW.
1) Make the sensor location somewhere important to the adventure or campaign. You now have a plot hook.
2) Change the potion to something that works.
-
Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
Re: 119
Clairaudience/clairvoyance isn't even a valid spell to put into a potion, because it doesn't "target one or more creatures." The spell lacks the Target line completely, instead having the Effect of creating a magical sensor.
In addition, even if it WAS a targeted spell, the Brew Potion feat states that whoever drinks the potion is the target of the spell.
The person who wrote the adventure module clearly had a strong misconception about the way potions work. Or else the item is some kind of lame joke.

All monsters occupy a square area, this was one of the changes from 3.0 to 3.5.

Q122
A character with Leap Attack and Combat Brute feats charges and takes -5 to hit to get +15 to damage.
He uses his attack to sunder the enemy shield and is successful. He uses the tactical maneuver to sundering cleave to get an addional extra attack: does this attack have +15 to damage due to Leap Attack or has only +10 due to a normal Power Attack?
Q123
A level 3 wizard with 12 hp has a not improved familiar with 6 hp. The mage casts:
a) Bear's Endurance on himself, his hp goes to 18 and the familiar's ones goes to 9. Right?
b) He doesn't cast the spell on himself, but on the familiar: how many hp does he get?
c) He casts the spell on himself and shares it with the familiar: how many hp does the familiar has?
Forgive me if I did some mistakes, my english is far from perfect.

A Leap Attack with a Power Attack penalty of -5 would give +10 (one-handed weapon used with one hand) or +20 (weapon used with two hands) damage.

The damage bonus from leap attack only applies to the charge attack, the attack penalty from power attack persist until the next round though.
Q 124
Can you sort the Deck of Many Things in an Antimagic Field and then draw the card you want, once the deck is taken out of the field? Can you repeat that process, if you announced to draw more than one card?

Antimagic Field states that it does not affect artifacts.

Q125
If you shapechange your rogue into a 12 headedhydra will he be allowed to SA with each head?
-
Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A125
As long as an attack fufills the conditions to be a sneak attack, it's one, regardless of the number of attacks or their source, unless otherwise noted.
For example, a rogue shapechanged in a 12-headed hydra flanking an enemy would be allowed to sneak attack on each of the 12 attacks.
-
Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A 125
Sure, even Polymorph is sufficient for that trick. The rogue would still have to fulfill all the conditions for sneak attack on his full attack.
