    Sexual Prowess... which skill ?

    I think it would be Perform: Sexual Pleasuring.

    Can illusions be used to provide a flanking bonus?

    I'd allow it. Letting the illusion threaten does make logical sense, as the purpose of the flanking bonus is to represent that trying to fight two opponents at the same time is more difficult than fighting one opponent alone. The illusion would serve to distract the target, so it makes sense...

    Starting a new campaign, hoping I don't get the same problems

    1. Make them pay a monthly upkeep fee for various and sundries (ale at a tavern, a room for the night, etc). Make them keep track of rations and arrows as running out of these things at critical times can both add drama and have a huge impact on the game. We used a dry erase board to track...

    Forest Gnome The forest gnome from the KoK player's guide has +2 charisma and is a +0 ECL race. Plus, they are cute.

    3.5 performance skill[s]

    From a practical, real world point of view the change makes sense. After all, being a really good singer does not in any way translate into being a really good dancer. From a meta game perspective, I don't like it. There is really no game use to having multiple perform skills...it doesn't...

    First Well RPed Character?

    Arella I think my first was Arella, a human bard in an excellent 3rd edition campaign. She was very young, but very bright and exceptionally beautiful. She tried to compensate for her insecurity by acting tough, leaving all the other players thinking that she was really, really bitchy when in...

    How Do You Get in to Character? [ was "Character Totems"]

    Theme Songs I am a big fan of theme songs, and I have a tendency to identify a theme song for my character, as well as (in my mind) theme songs for other PCs, and sometimes even for the entire campaign. The best role playing experience I have had (which sadly ended on a premature note) was in...

    What would survive?

    Blacktop roads found when digging, or perhaps even a few that have been uncovered and are now used as "roads" for horses and wagons. Tupperware, that stuff survives anything.

    Are spell DC's too low?

    Don't forget heighten spell...if that 20th level mage has the heighten spell feat, the Charm Person DC can be 23 if he casts it as a ninth level spell...or as high as 25 if he has Spell Focus: Enchantment.

    Combat Casting...is it worth it?

    I think combat casting is essential for healing classes...they have no real option about where to cast their spells. If they are going to heal a fallen comrade, they may have to do so adjacent to people who will get the attack of opportunity. For non-healing classes, I think you can get by...

    How a DM can counter cheesy PC tactics w/o using cheesy DM tactics.

    Does the blindsight spell give a greater range than the 5 feet of the blindsight feat? If not, as long as the opponents are not crowded altogether within 5 feet of one another, the rogue might have a very hard time finding a target after he hit the first one...

    wizards vs. sorcerers

    Sorcerers do not require 8 hours of rest nor prep time to refill spell slots. Rest is a requirement for the wizard.

    wizards vs. sorcerers

    Sorcerers largest advantage, in my opinion, lies not in their number of spells per day or even the "I can cast from whatever I know" aspect of spontaneous casting. Rather, I think their largest advantage is that they have no need to prepare spells. The importance of this advantage varies by...

    spell casting for real - which one?

    Charm person, hands down. Work life, social life, surly government employees, all would be rendered easy and simple to deal with, provided I could be a manipulative beast who rode roughshod over other people's feelings. Actually, I might need Charm Monster to affect my boss as I am not sure...

    How necessary is Spellcraft for a Sorceror?

    While spellcraft can be useful, given the poverty of skill points I think that they can be better used elsewhere. Taking advantage of your high charisma with cross class ranks in bluff, diplomacy, or intimidate, or in tumble allowing you to move about the battle field without AoO. I also like...

    1000 ways to freak out your DM

    113) In the spirit of role playing, if the DM reveals knowledge to you (the result of bardic knowledge, or a knowledge skill roll, or a divination spell) at the table in front of the rest of the players, repeat what he says to your fellow players word for word whenever he takes a breath. 114)...
