Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
Q 165
If a troll was to use a half-eaten horse carcass as an improvised thrown weapon, what kind of damage would it do, would it be a two-handed weapon for Str bonus damage, what would its range increment be (10ft?), and what would the to hit penalty for being an improvised weapon be (I'm assuming -4?).
If a full horse carcass is too large to be used in this manner, assume enough has been eaten to be of appropriate size.My winning competition entries: Kinvig Arrumskor | The Great Pumpkinhead | Wynfrith d'Acker

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
It actually is, if you want it to affect creatures directly after the casting. The area can only be created along the lines of the squares or diagonally going through squares. If it is along a line, it does not interact with creatures on wither side. If it goes through a square there is no rule saying that it is not within the creature.
No, you cannot drop cloudkill on creatures for the exact same reason.Cloudkill through fog cloud works differently. You only designate a point where the effect is created and then billows out to fill an area. Wall of smoke is wholly created along a line and thus it cannot be created inside a creature.Last edited by Andezzar; 2016-09-27 at 07:27 AM.

A167 Yes. Expedition to the Demonweb Pits has a description of Sigil and, I believe, involves more than a single plane as well.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
On your turn, immediately after, yes. You'd have to fill their lungs with it. But that's not what the original question was. The original question just wanted to force them to make the save, which would happen if they were within it.
Fair point on the cloudkill spread, I cede there. I think our disagreement hinges on differing interpretations of the limitations described by conjuration spells.Originally Posted by SRD
My interpretation: Conjuration spells are not powerful enough to make things inside of other things, so they simply do not when it applies.
Here's my evidence to back my thinking:
Sleet storm has an area (more accurately a volume) 40 feet in radius and 20 feet high. By your interpretation this spell cannot work if a creature is within the volume described when it is cast. As a battlefield control spell that seems quite hindering that it would require you to cast on an empty area and hope that the enemy wanders into it. Furthermore, if your DM felt like being a hard-ass (or even just realistic) this spell would fail most of the time due to bugs/birds/whatever else being in the volume when it's cast.
Under my interpretation, the spell simply doesn't create sleet in places where creatures are, so all those bugs/birds/enemies within it are still affected without having any sleet conjured within them.
Grease, the spell specifically calls out that it can be cast on the same squares that creatures are currently in.Originally Posted by SRD
Wall of stone and wall of iron, as I already mentioned, they specifically call out that they cannot be made in the same space as a creature. Why would they say that if the general rule already said the same thing? Because the general rule doesn't say that. The general rule only says things can't be conjured within creatures, conjuring without (is that a valid use of the word?) creatures is still fair game. So these two spells have additional restrictions to prevent them from being used to trap creatures within.
Furthermore, the component of the rule requiring conjurations to not float implies that you can only cast wall spells on flat ground. If the ground is uneven, you will have portions floating, which is against the rules. So just lower the wall until there are no floating parts, but then there will inevitably be some parts sticking into the ground, which by your interpretation means the spell cannot work there. Under my interpretation the spell still works, there's just no wall created under/in the ground.
All that so say, the way I believe the rule to be written, says the wall of smoke can indeed be cast where a creature currently is. There will simply be no smoke in the space occupied by the creature. The creature will then take damage as normal on it's turn for moving through the wall.Last edited by NinjaTBB; 2016-09-27 at 03:12 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
The problem with your interpretation is that there is no general rule that conjuration spells can crate their effect only partially.
Here's my evidence to back my thinking:
Sleet storm has a line that allows the aforementioned partial creation:Originally Posted by SRD
Exactly. That is an explicit exception.
That wouldn't be the first time that the books reiterate rules that are already established.
That is an interesting point if you want to make the rules playable, but we are talking about the rules as written. As written you cannot partially create an effect and the effect cannot be created within a creature. That means the spell must fail.Originally Posted by SRD

Q 168
Power Armor from Return to the Temple of the Frog have 0 ACP, 0% ASF, don't count as armor for Armor Proficiency feats, and weighs 4 lbs. (less than most clothing)
Is it right to presume Monk can wear it, and still use all class features?
Q 169
Urban Companion:This is identical to the sorcerer's ability to summon a familiar (PH 52), including all benefits granted and gained by the familiar, except as noted below. Her functional level for determining the abilities of the companion is equal to her druid level or one-half her ranger level.
• She does not lose experience points if her urban companion is slain, and she requires only 24 hours to replace one who is lost.
• Her urban companion has total hit points equal to 3/4 her own hit points, rather than half as per a familiar.
•The urban companion gains the ability to speak with other animals of its kind when she has an effective master level of 1st, rather than 7th.
•When she reaches an effective master level of 7th, she can speak with animals of her companion's kind, as per speak with animals. This is a supernatural ability that functions constantly, and it requires only a free action to reactivate if somehow dispelled.
If yes, then how about the feats such as Improved/Celestial/Dragon/Darkness Familiar?

Q 168
Nope. It only does not count as armor for proficiencies, nothing more nothing less. It is still called armor, it occupies the armor slot, it gives an armor bonus.

Q 176
If a spell trigger/completion item is crafted on a plane that has an Enhanced Magic trait pertaining to the contained spell (e.g. Wand of Fireball on the Plane of Fire), how are the item and its creation cost affected?

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
A 176: The enhanced magic traits allow you to cast the relevant spells as though you had the relevant metamagic feats but without using the higher level slots or longer cast time. You add MM to an item by including the feats on the spell you expend during crafting. Thus, using your Fireball example, it would be an item of Maximized, enlarged Fireball.
The cost should follow the normal formula, with the level of spell and level of caster variables matching those you used when crafting the spell. (There is a good case to be made however, that this'd is one of the cases where market price should vary from base price- they are only equal for "many items").

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
Some things but not others. For example, Improved Familiar still requires an arcane spellcaster level, which, as a druid, you probably do not have.
Item creation is mostly unaffected (although see the rules for Fireshaped items, DMGII 275). The Enhanced Magic trait only applies to spells as they are cast. However, a spell cast from an item would be affected, unless the trait says otherwise (such as the Astral Plane's Enhanced Magic trait, which explicitly does not apply to spells from magic items). If you used a normal wand of fireball while on the Plane of Fire, it would be enhanced.Last edited by Troacctid; 2016-10-03 at 12:46 AM.

To elaborate on debatra's answer, sneak attack damage is extra damage. you cannot have extra damage, when there is no base damage.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
A 176 Addendum
Looking more closely, this is correct and I was in error: you need to expend (& prepare, if you do that kind of thing) the spells that go into a crafted item as part of the crafting, but you are specifically not casting them (which means that the planar trait in question does not come into play, since it only affects spells & SLA at the time of casting).
