    I had not reread the 2e spell in a while, but I thought I was playing by those rules. I did not even clearly recall that the spell did mention saving again for the bounce.

    Split Ray ( Complete Arcane, p. 83) [Metamagic] Your ray spells can affect an additional target. Prerequisite Any metamagic feat, Benefit You can cause any ray spell tofireone additional ray beyond the number normally allowed. The additional ray requires a separate ranged touch attack roll to hit and deals damage as normal. It can be fi red at the same target as the fi rst ray or at a different target, but all rays must be aimed at targets within 30 feet of each other and fi red simultaneously. A split ray spell uses a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

    Type: Metamagic Source: Dragon Annual 5 You maintain a ray spell for an additional round. Benefit: When the extended ray spell is cast, you can use your next action to attack with the same ray. You can designate either a different target or the same target. A successful ranged touch attack is required for the second target. If any other actions are taken, or the spell is disrupted before your next action, then you lose the extended spell (though any previous effects remain). An extended ray uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

    Type: Metamagic Source: Dragon Annual 5 You can attack three adjacent targets with a ray spell. Benefit: A split ray can hit three targets. A successful ranged touch attack is needed for each target, and each roll incurs 5-4 penalty to hit. A target cannot be attacked more than once with a given spell. A split ray uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

    Type: Metamagic Source: Dragon Annual 5 You change the effect of a ray spell to a 30-foot radius burst centered on yourself. Benefit: A ray burst hits all targets (friend or foe) within 30 feet. Targets within 30 feet are allowed a Reflex save to avoid the burst. Any targets that do not avoid the effect are treated as if they were hit by the ray spell. Any target with 100% cover with respect to the caster is not affected. A ray burst spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

Benefit: All targets in the area of effect receive Reflex saves to avoid the effect, but are otherwise affected as if they were hit by the ray spell. A coned ray uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

    @halfgiant said in How multiclass characters work: do all three classes add in con bonuses for the levels for each of the classes in your calculation? Yes. Because you are spending the XP to truly level the class. Edited the first post.

    @dwarf Well that was depressing, i had hoped over time maybe 5e would have had enough power creep to become interesting. Similar to 3.0E in the day, after a few years some of their later products started producing some interesting ideas. With that said, the 3.5E metamagic rods i never really found interesting or thematically liked. Just seemed lame, and Kargin did investigate what he called meta crystals that you could embed in wands, rods, and staffs. However shortly after that @dwarf brought up the concepts of lens’s and amp’s … and we just ran with that. Kargin also flirted with psicrystals, i do believe he has some prototypes specific for melee types, and some specific for caster types. There was a lot of interest but it typically fades fairly quickly because in order for them to work they need to be implanted into their spine or at the base of their skulls to hide the crystal, while others implant the crystal shard in their forehead, forming a mythical “third eye.” Some warriors tend to have them implanted into the hand or chest, often sporting custom-made armor to show off the crystal to their enemies. To implant and integrate the crystals into the various systems of the body (i.e. nervous, immune, etc…) requires the skills of an alchemist… and that is where Kargin loses them. Back to the drawing board.

    today’s is from the Princess Bride fb page : In honor of #NationalHorseDay, we’d like to tell you about a scene that never made it into The Princess Bride. Director Rob Reiner, had an idea where at the end of the movie, after the grandson is left alone, he looks out the window to see the four white horses floating in the air with Westley, Buttercup, Inigo and Fezzik riding them. Of course there was no way for Fezzik to actually sit on a horse being nearly five hundred pounds himself. So they attempted to make him look like he was riding by lowering him on a pulley system. Andre, being a bit nervous, drank 8 bottles of wine that morning for liquid courage, so the director found himself watching a drunken giant attempt to be lowered onto a horse while waving, “Hi boss!”. We think it was a win for everyone, especially the horse, when they abandoned this idea. now i wanna see bob pound 8 bottles of wine and try to straddle a horse
