Does an aura extend vertically? @AceCalhoon If it didn't extend vertically, it would have a height of 0, not 1. Obviously this is not the case - it must extend vertically to some degree. My point is that to what degree is not defined. Your conjectures are fine, and I admit are better than nothing, but are not definitive. You seem to be operating under the assumption that the only two choices are limit of 1 or it being a cube. While the cube may indeed be the correct answer, I don't see any supporting evidence of it. Proving it's not 1 square high is not the same as proving it's a cube. |

Does an aura extend vertically? @Ace Point taken on tangential comments given a proper resting place. I still don't see the justification for Erik's answer though. I'm not saying it isn't logical - I'm saying it isn't justified. In fact, Tarrasque's flying prevention only applies to 4 squares up, while extending for much further than that - it makes me think that's evidence to support non cubic auras. |

Does an aura extend vertically? I believe there are plenty of examples in nature where fields (which auras essentially are) extend out horizontally as a result of gravity or rotation to a much lesser extent than they do vertically. Consider the rings of Saturn or the Earth's magnetic field. The fields have far less effect the further they get from the horizontal plane. |

Does an aura extend vertically? @AceCalhoon Your link (and for that matter, Erik's answer) doesn't answer the question though. It states "any creature in the aura". It doesn't clarify how high vertically the aura extends, or clarify what 'in the aura' actually means. |

How many people does it take to steal a Star Destroyer? It's questions like this that fuel truly epic campaigns. Overcoming challenges in a heroic fashion is the premier driving force behind playing RPGs, but those challenges have to base themselves in some kind of rules structure for them to be fulfilling. I still see challenges here, as the most accurate answer seems far too high to be manageable by a party, but this is a wonderful question. |

Asynchronous Character Creation? As a side note, players who want to really experience role playing need to be able to adapt their characters to other characters they didn't anticipate. Considering that sometimes the GM gives you a character you're "stuck with" for a significant portion of the campaign, this shouldn't be all that different. |

What's a good defense against silence? Have you talked with your DM about it, or cough asked if there's a wise man in the local village you could talk to about it? If over and over again you're getting defeated because of an overpowered mechanic set in place by the DM, he needs to realize it's frustrating his players. It honestly sounds like your DM is a bit power trippy. |

How does Wind Walk work underwater? You're the DM - you can simply decide that the spell gives you a small force with which you can repel your surrounding fluid (be it air, honey, or hydrochloric acid). The player would essentially be a bubble in such a pressure sensitive environment. |

What does Drow Speech sound like? It's strange this was closed - it meets all criteria of 'good subjective': inspires questions that explain why and how, answer would likely not be short, has an impartial tone, invites sharing experience (by virtue of looking for references), backed up by references, and more than mindless social fun (actually relevant to his game) - I don't see any reason for this to be closed. I'm assuming you've all read blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/good-subjective-bad-subjective ? |

What is the expected average damage for an area of effect power? If it's not for power selection, then what exactly is it for? |

Polyhedral dice statistics program, spreadsheet, or document @SevenSidedDie In the languages where everything is non-trivial of course it wouldn't be. In languages where it is impossible of course it wouldn't be. "Re-implementing" the roll of an n-sided die is trivial, hands down. It's a simple multiplication. I've "Re-implemented" such things in multiple languages in a matter of minutes many times. |

Can you pull an enemy from an adjacent square to another adjacent square? I would shift away 1 square (to prevent an OA) and then do your ability. |

Beyond hit points: injury in D&D I really like this system. I'm going to try to toss it into my party's next encounter as a taste of it. @Marcus I agree with your last statement, but I would also say if you're worried about DM bias, this isn't the only thing that will cause problems in your campaign. In my opinion, if you don't have some trust/faith in your DM, you shouldn't play with him, or you're really not going to enjoy your game. |

Does a defender get to respond to a marked target making an opportunity attack on another PC? Your GM appears to not differentiate de-jure obligations from de-facto obligations. There are few circumstances where you wouldn't take the free attack, so in that sense it's a social obligation to take the free attack; it's so common that you would need a good reason not to take it for people to not be like "Dude, free attack!". There's no law that you help the old woman who fell on the sidewalk in front of you, but most people do it. |

How can I balance an encounter with reinforcements? I'm confused on the tagging. Is this for 3.5, pathfinder, or system agnostic? |
