Great Story Hour! I love the way the Middle Eastern culture and setting are focused on! Now that I ve been all complimentary, can we get another update? ;-) -WBU

Doh! I feel pretty dumb. Thanks though Darklone!

since you seem to have resolved this I hope you don t mind a little thread-jacking. How does Power Attack work when thrown into the mix? I ve always interpreted it to mean that if, using Hyper Smurf's example, you took a -2 to power attack the goblin, you would also HAVE to take -2 and power...

I would like to get the Hive Mind s help on a little problem my group has been having. Recently our game sessions have had way too many O-T comments, which are taking away from the roleplaying. The group has decided we want to stay on-topic more, but think that we might need a little stick to...

How do you all adjudicate drinking potions in combat? According to the 3.5 SRD: Activation:…Drinking a potion or using an oil on an item of gear is a standard action... Using a potion or oil provokes attacks of opportunity. A successful attack (including grappling attacks) against the character...

True, but on the other hand, some players just need a little direction to come up with a background. Try this link: Link removed If anything, it might be overly detailed, but if you ignore the sections you don t like/need, it could be useful in getting your players to create interesting...

I think you should stop yer yakkin, and go forge Arbaal a suit of mithril full plate!!! More seriously, i dont think fireball is a good example, simply b/c its THE quintessential damage dealing spell. Assuming the miss chance vs reflex save variables are roughly balanced, 3d6 against one guy...

Kensai are fun! I m currently playing a Barb1/kensai-ftr-variant2. I really like playing a lightly armored combatant who s phenomenal with a no-dachi (greatsword), and also gets some “fun” skills like tumble. It s a little early to judge the balance of the class, but I think its decent. A...

The 3.5 tumble rules state that you cant use the tumble skill if your speed has been rduced by armor, etc. If you have 5 ranks in tumble and are wearing med or hvy armor (and arent a dwarf): -Would you still get the +2 synergy bonus to balance and jump checks, even though you cant use the...
