Re: Dysfunctional Rules IX: 1d3 Dysfunctions from the 8th Level List
Let's say I have a spell. This spell reads: "Target object appears to detect spells as if it were a summoned Evil Outsider with 11 HD" This makes it ping on Detect Evil as a strong aura and Detect Magic as if it were a Conjuration spell. This does not make it a summoned Evil Outsider with 11 HD. Similarly, even if Magic Aura makes it appear to detect spells as the subject of a spell of your choice, this doesn't actually make it the subject of that spell nor does it mean that the definition of subject is incorrect because it's not a creature.
And even beyond that I've already agreed that this belongs in the handbook since it's ambiguous if detect magic registers itself and the fact that we're arguing proves that something isn't working properly

Re: Dysfunctional Rules IX: 1d3 Dysfunctions from the 8th Level List
Jormengand is absolutely right on this one. Detect Magic definitely detects itself.
Rhymes with "Protracted."

Re: Dysfunctional Rules IX: 1d3 Dysfunctions from the 8th Level List
You can look at it this way too; if you only detect the target or source of a spell (point, creature, etc.) then you can't detect spells that just fill areas, like Silent Image. If you can detect the area of a spell effect then the area of Detect Magic gets detected because it's filled with a magical effect.

Re: Dysfunctional Rules IX: 1d3 Dysfunctions from the 8th Level List
I didn't think about it that way and thought you based the dysfunction on the fact that the spell originated from the wrong origin point. That wasn't the case, so now that I got your point I agree that Detect Magic can detect itself.
EDIT: A new dysfuncion, assuming it hasn't already been spotted: depending on how you parse this sentence you can't dispel SLAs that aren't subject to SR.

Fossergrim and Sirines are both aquatic creatures that are mentioned as moving about on land. Both lack any sort of ability to allow them to breathe air.

Re: Dysfunctional Rules IX: 1d3 Dysfunctions from the 8th Level List
Here's a dysfunction I just found in Pathfinder: Bloodrager doesn't specify class restrictions on casting during a Bloodrage. So you can totally go Bloodrager 4 into any other caster and do casting during a Rage without material components. Bloodrage also doesn't work with Rage Powers, which damages half-orc Sythesist/Bloodragers by not letting them use their two Rage Powers from a half-orc Summoner archetype.
Overall, you can be a Bloodrager Magus and smash many, many faces with your angry melee caster. Or a Bloodrager/Scrollmaster to be a wizard whacking people withnewspapersscrolls while really, really angry.Last edited by Morphic tide; 2017-02-10 at 06:05 PM.

Re: Dysfunctional Rules IX: 1d3 Dysfunctions from the 8th Level List
I think I have two more dysfunctions from the phb
First, Symbol of Death requires "powdered diamond and opal with a total value of at least 5,000 gp each." So does that mean 5,000 gp split between diamond and opal, or 5,000 gp of each?
Second, in regards to Web, fire can burn the web away at 5 sq ft per round. But a 5 foot square is 5 feet in each dimension, so they are 25 sq ft. So it actually takes 5 rounds to clear each square.Physics in D&D is only superficially similar to real world physics.

Re: Dysfunctional Rules IX: 1d3 Dysfunctions from the 8th Level List
I think the diamond and opal thing means that you need 5000 gp of diamond, and 5000 gp of opal, but that you can combine multiple piles of powder to total 5000 for either if that makes any sense. So you don't have to find a diamond worth 5k and powder it, but you could find 5 1k diamonds and powder them to meet the requirement. Same for the opal.

Throw anything requires "Proficiency with weapon" but it doesn't require you to choose one specific type of weapon when taken.

Re: Dysfunctional Rules IX: 1d3 Dysfunctions from the 8th Level List
Pathfinder's Tetori Monk archetype uses its monk level instead of BAB for grapple checks. This makes it a fine option as a grappler package despite not being full BAB.
On the other hand, it means you completely ruin your ability to grapple if you dip Tetori, since you're stuck with an effective BAB of +1.The gnomes once had many mines, but now they have gnome ore.

Re: Dysfunctional Rules IX: 1d3 Dysfunctions from the 8th Level List
What makes it extra weird is that the Sword and Fist version doesn't have any proficiency requirement, so they felt like they needed to update it in Complete champion.
I guess it could be that since the Sword and Fist version just says "throw any weapon you can use" they wanted to preclude people saying 'well I'm not proficient with my spiked chain but I'm still using it, so I can throw it!', but they could have just mentioned that in the benefits section of the CC version(which they did) and left it out of the prereqs.Last edited by nailbudday; 2017-02-21 at 09:29 AM.

Recently, someone mentioned about the one Rod of Wonder's effects changing a height, but not size, thus turning victim into comical flat creature - like it was just hit with cartoonish anvil
I dunno if it truth or just distilled humor, but I found one similar issue - Shrink Collar:Originally Posted by Arms and Equipment Guide

Bear Warrior from Complete Warrior can turn into a bear when raging or frenzying. The only limit on the uses per day is the uses of rage... Except it's only usable once per day. (Increasing at higher levels)
