Just as a side note, Skill Training and Alertness both provide a Feat bonus to the skill. Since bonuses of the same type do not stack you would only recieve the +3 bonus from Skill Focus

The issue I have with the short duration vs long duration stems from the "And basically every time you have a good enough reason to cast scry, somene has a much better reason to stop you." statement. This is true because the DM decides the target would takes such measures. Further scrying has...

I would advise against an assassin as per the class, since they make poor arena fighters. Are there any restrictions on the type of arena fighter? (magic/ no magic, restriction on weapon/armor)

Without significant money investment or a few rounds of buffing a druid doesnt fair well in melee. While they get decent damage out of wildshape, animals AC are terrible and they have next to no means to bypass DR (Without additional buffing) No spontanous casting, slower progression of...

I completely agree. Managing memorizing spells and learning tougher spell conservation is far more forgiving then picking spells as a FS. For a new player a cleric is probably a better choice. I think I have a more favorable opinion of the potential of the FS than Shin, but I will be the first...

Really all the suggestions for cleric and rogue can be boiled down to able to heal & trapfinding. Thus Full healer: Cleric, Favored Soul, Healer Partial healer: Druid, Psion/Psi Warrior Trapfinding: Rogue, Scout, Spell Thief I am sure there are other examples of both healers and...

This is what the ginsu rogues build takes advantage of. With TWF and haste a rogue can get a lot of attacks, and sneak attack with all of them.

Yes, if you hit a creature that can be sneak attacked and you meet the minimum necessary combination of pre-reqs you get sneak attack on all attacks in one round. So with three hits it would be 3*(W+mods+sneak attack). Given rolling dice for each hit.

It would have to be when the statue is in a state that can no longer be returned to the statues original form. This is because if the statue loses it head you can still make whole and then cast the Stone to Flesh or Break Enchantment. Thus in both cases as Artoomis said, there is a solid...

An item that has a continuous effect of Delay Death and a ring of sustenance, would let the evil NPC simply keep the captured PC is a Iron Maiden. Have the iron maiden have a lead lining and you dont have to worry about divination.

Anyone else get a mental picture of Homer Simpson from the episode with the waves going his belly.

I was not commenting on the nature of the notice aspect or not. I was simple stating that as the rules are written the only time you are actively using perception is when you use a standard action, and the only time you do not use passive perception is when you are actively using perception...

Dup post

I personally like how the new Stealth rules. When I first read how you were running stealth it sounded wrong from how I read it. So I went back and checked the text again. The only roll that has to be made is the one by the person using stealth. All others use their passive check. The Passive...

The specifics of what I said was do all those things at once. They are heavily reliant on their spells to achieve their different goals. If they are using their spells for one thing then they cannot use it for another. A base wildshape druid doesn't hold a candle against a fighter, even with...
