With the introduction of Martial Power II & the level 5 Ranger power 'Snarling Wolf Stance', it has raised the question, "Can an Opportunity Action and a Immediate Action both be provoked by the same trigger?" Snarling Wolf Stance (Opportunity Action, Trigger: An enemy hits or misses you with...

Does anyone know of a WotC spell that gives a bonus to Tumble checks? I've looked at the usual suspects, to no avail (or perhaps I'm just blind and/or stupid!). Thanks, Psimancer

Our group is currently debating an issue, and I thought I would inject some external insight into the argument: Is the fact that creatures immune to the Stunned condition (such as undead & constructs) are NOT immune to the Dazed condition either intentional, an oversight (that should be...

Our group is in the middle of discussing a new spell that one of the players wants to research. The GM and the player in question (a Druid) can’t seem to agree on ‘the what’ and ‘the how’ the spell should work (and I end up as the middle-man, being the closest thing to an impartial...

Inspired by another thread, what do you do when you want magic less common than the standard d20 D&D in your game? The reasons may be varied; you want to replicate the feel of a particular novel or movie, for example… (I don’t want to start a ‘…the commonality of magic is fine just the way it...

After a couple of unrealistic instances in the last few games, I am seriously thinking about adding this into the Helpless description: A helpless character provokes an attack of opportunity on their initiative (or initiative 0). Has anyone else tried this, or can anyone see a major flaw in...

I was reading through Races of Eberron last night and I came across a passage that gave me pause. It was at the end of the section about Warforged, where they talk about classes. In the passage about Barbarians, it states: “…the Adamantine Body feat grants you excellent protection that...

Could one use the disguise skill against undead and/or to appear undead? I have a player trying to do this but can find no real reason to rule against it, apart from applying a penalty to the check. Thoughts?

Does anyone know if there exists a Fear Domain? And if so, in which book?

I was playing my Warforged the other night, and an enemy (the last one alive) fell prone due to a strategically placed Grease spell. On my action, my character ran forward and attempted to land on the prone bad-guy, with the intention on damaging him (kinda WWF body slam!) My DM did a good...

I’m just about to start playing an on-line Epic game, and all my high-level rules knowledge has seemed to have atrophied, specifically in regards to stacking… a) If a character has both DR 10/evil and DR 10/unholy, how do they stack? From memory it would be DR 10 unless an attack was both evil...

The Warlock Incantation, ‘Dark One's Own Luck’… What if you select this ability more that once with your incantation slots? Would having the ability twice mean you could invoke it twice for two different saves?

I’ve had one of my players tell me about a feat that allows a character to treat armor as one category lighter (ie Heavy armor as Medium, etc), but he doesn’t know from which book it comes; does anyone have any idea? I would even accept non-core & non-WotC sources…

This may sound like a stupid question (and apologies if it has been asked a million times before) but what damage does a Monk do when using Monk Weapons; the Weapon’s damage or the Monk’s Unarmed Damage?

As both a player and DM, I find it rather ridiculous that sorcerers and wizards revert to bows and crossbows when their daily spells become depleted. With that in mind, I have created the following spell and would like some feedback before introducing it to my game(s): ******* <removed>

Call me an old fogy, but I miss rolling initiative each round, like you did in earlier editions of the game. Well, actually, to tell the truth, it’s not so much the rolling, as it is the dynamic nature of combat that I miss. But I’ve talked to my players, and some of them really HATE the dice...

If a character were to Bull Rush an enemy 20 ft. into a wall, would (or should) any damage ensue? Maybe treat as falling? I.e. 1d6 damage per 10 ft.

The rules state that you can use action points once per round; do you measure a round from: a) the highest initiative to the lowest initiative, or b) from the start of an individual characters action to the start of their next action? For example, if a character uses an action point during...

When calculating Cover for Big Creatures from Ranged Attacks, do you use their entire area (eg 10x10) or just the one space (5x5) that is being ‘targeted’? If it’s the former, the larger the creature, the easier it is for it to get cover from missile fire… I can find no evidence in the rules to...

I’m having a bit of a dispute with one of my players at the moment. In the game we played it my way, but I do want to double check to make sure I’m not being unfair on him… In regards to the tumble skill and avoiding attacks of opportunity… Do you move at half your normal movement for your...
