    Lodoss Elves

    or you could say: "hmm ears, are they like donkey ears, or bloodhound ears, or maybe like elephant ears... well i guess it doesn't matter, hear (get it) comes the Attack of Oppertunity vs. an unarmed strike..." And when the character is dead and their freakish ears are curling up (like the toes...

    Cat's Grace: Not a Cleric spell?

    Fortunately this oversight is being rectified in 3.5

    Please rate Eschew Materials

    I found it useful for my fighter/wizard, but it was only one of several options. Casters must have 1 free hand to cast spells, and despite the fact that a small shield or buckler allowed you to hold an item in that hand, my DM ruled that was not sufficient for spell casting purposes...

    Pole Vaulting - what check to use?

    I used to be a polevaulter. pole vaulting is used to clear a height, not a distance secondly speed is much more important than jumping ability. Since polevualting would be such an unusual skill set I would make it an ability check vs. str or dex, until the player decided to put some skill...

    Spiked chain questions/prestige classes?

    I ran a character with a spiked chain for a couple levels before I realized that as a front-line fighter I needed the shield for protection. I think it works best with the builds presented, psi warrior and fighter/rogue. If your party can afford a secondary fighter it would work great. but...

    Touch Spells Question

    My first inclination is to say, it makes perfect sense, scine you already cast haste the first round. however with the dawning of 3e.5 i'm inclined to agree with the Li Shenron and Hypersmurf. Rather than worry about rewritting the rules too much with free actions and such, or making touch...

    How bad is an 8 in an ability score?

    8 str = the little guy is gets picked last on most team sports. 8 dex = the kid that never figured out how to ride a bike before getting a drivers license. 8 con = the guy who gets a note from his mom to get out of gym class. 8 int = the guy who barely got by in remedial english and math. 8...

    Dragonball for M&M

    actually it would probably be an ideal Dragonball game, its fast and loose, and a huge array of power can be developed. just slap a flaw on the higher rank ends of powers (only when powered up), and you will be all set.

    Improving your Rhino Hide

    how about +3 rhino hide, that is actually made out of mithril full plate.

    Improving Heavy Armor

    Or do you go 18 str and 18 dex and get the mithral chainshirt of haste.

    Does the spell failure chance from armor apply to using scrolls?

    DMG pg 175. under the heading 'spell completion' it mentions "All that is left to do is perform the short, simple, finishing parts of the spell casting (the final gestures, words, and so on)." ... This is the only reference to a somatic component. Draw your own conclusions. In the interest in...

    Revised 3e Seminar: Stacking bonuses

    I think some of you are making the assumption that mage armor and/or bracers of armor are not going to be type shield and armor . Which would also prevent it from stacking. Also on the issue of hitting high AC's with more than your first attack. My experience has been by the time you can make...

    Monk Revisions

    I'm puting my money on more versatility. I think both monks will loose most of their fixed abilities/feats, and have more selection spread out through the levels. The only major change I can forsee (game-balance-wise) is lowering of the monks movement, or shifting it to a chosen ability...

    Trading age for skill ranks?

    I think adding ranks is not a good idea, rather add a competency bonus based on age, otherwise you are circumventing the maximum skill rank limitations (which could be abused especially in cross classed skills).
