Fenris: I am not too worried about the mechanical side of things. True 3.5 is not great at it but it is definitely doable. Although I will have to check out the pdf just to see if it have anything cool I can steal. Again my issue was more Plot based than mechanical.

Thanks for all the replies! To elaborate, they are trying to remain a "secret" vigilante group (so things are just happening and can't be traced back to anything or lead to a scapegoat) although they started off with some pre existing contacts in the city with a spread of nobles, common folk...

In brief I am looking for vigilante story ideas. Specifically I am looking for ones that would allow for social infiltration (sneaking into parties, etc.) instead of more street style patrolling (. Details: I am running an urban campaign set in a very large metropolis. I had originally created...

I was thinking something like that. Was curious what the RAW interpretation would be to kinda compare but I feel like the "rule of cool" should probably apply here. Was also thinking if I should do a static search DC or if should allow the Player to "actively conceal" them. That is not a...

So I came across the Claw Gloves from magic item compendium. The gloves take up the hand slot and "Claw gloves are treated as a pair of +1 punching daggers for the purpose of fighting with them when both are worn. " The question is if these could be hidden? What action to draw the "hidden...

S'mon: Yeah I understand that. I just not sure if we can pull that off since I have never tried something like that before. I do like the idea and it is toiling around in my head so right now. Danny: I kind of like that idea. Might have to consider it. Blue: That is my first inclination. But...

Mad Jack: My character would, currently, have no connection to the group. The thought would be to put tidbits about myself slowly as the story progresses and maybe use myself as a BBG or maybe as an active side antagonist. Pemerton: That COULD work but I don't know if either one of us could...

So I have an unusual GM question that hopefully people can help me think through. I am going to be starting an urban fantasy game (Dresden Files, Fate system) soon with the players making characters LOOSELY based upon themselves. When the group started the planning of the game my SO asked "what...

I would usually agree with the feat tax but I want this to be at least available for non-dedicated grapplers. With the AoO and the -5 it will make it difficult for a non-grappler to pull of the maneuver against equal or challenging opponents but would allow them to use it against a random mook...

My thoughts at this point is create a feat that both NPCs and my players could use if they chose. It would simply give a -5 penalty on the grapple check and if they succeed they can do any of the additional grapple actions (except pinning) the same round they initiate the grapple. Does that...

adwyn: i thought you could already do that if you started the round already in a grapple? At least that was my understanding based on the old rules of the game article.

Greenfield: Option1 doesn't work for the concept because a surprise is still a separate round so there is still 2 rounds going off which is more then enough time for someone to see the action. Option 2 I though the moving someone with a grapple was a standard action? I am wrong about this...

So I have been planning an Urban adventure game for a while now using the 3.5 rules. Now the question I have is if there is a way to mimic the Batman/Assassins Creed/etc style of grabbing someone and hauling off into the darkness, around a corner, into a hay stack, etc in ONE(1) ROUND...
