    Al-Qarin: Into the Desert (3-1-24)

    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

    Great Cleave + True Strike

    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...

    Help us stay In Character!!!

    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...

    Potion-drinking for Dummies

    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...

    Art of Roleplaying - Pacing and Plot

    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...

    Take ten...

    I m one of Tatsukun s players, so admittedly I m a little biased. However, I don t really see the big deal in allowing PCs to Take 10 a lot of the time. For the record, we play with a Natural 20 equal to a role of 30, and a Natural 1 equal to –10. So consider this: a second level party facing...

    Am I punishing these players too much/little?

    Remember, you're playing a game. The purpose of a game is to have fun. Being excluded from a conversation is not fun. Furthermore, being punished in-game is also not fun, and in many cases completely ineffective. I have to disagree with you a bit here. The players in my group tend to create...

    Feats for a Fighter-Mage

    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...

    Do people use the core classes/PrCs from Dragon?

    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...

    Tumble Bonuses in Med Armor?

    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...
