[he recovered and stole my rope]

i subdued an opponent in pvp while he was climbing a hill, i climbed the hill with a grapple after manuevering to get close enough, he recovered and stole my rope.
 
is that actually legal for him to do that?
 
i thought climbing to escape a little off but then to recover and steal my rope was a little wrong.
 
any comments?

lol

[you are making the roll againt their save instead of having them make a roll against your spell dc]

after reading through some posts trying to get acclimated more with the server environment i came across this in regards to ranged/melee touch attack abilities and am a bit confused....do ranged touch attack and melee touch attack spells offer some benefit than those with just a standard dc or sr check dont?
 
i.e. crit chance on hit even with crit immunity or if on hit..near max/max damage?
 
"Range touch are amazing because you are making the roll againt their save instead of having them make a roll against your spell dc. Plus with Range touch attacks if you hit with the attack you hit for full power there is no way to half the dam it's full hit or full miss. Usually most people have a rather low + to Will, Fort and Ref saves compared to a their roll against a dc check."
 
"Generally, guaranteed full damage (per "in the max range", rather than "as per maximized") is a whopper of a benefit... a reason it's mainly limited to a profoundly beatable and somewhat lower-damage spell like magic missile.
Ranged touch is a price one pays to accommodate another benefit -- in this case damage and potential for a round of stun/whatever, without the target's ability to Spell Resist. Besides, who in the world is really great at avoiding a ranged touch? Rogues, that's about it."
 
"Fun facts about touch attacks. They can crit on targets immune to crits. They negate quite a bit of ac. Though I would like to see the rays that you suggested. The spells are a bit crazy. Negative energy protection is not on par with True seeing at any level."

do focuses in necromancy increase AB,AC etc. of animates or does it simply increase the summoning point pool?
