I'd only apply it to the Slam attack, for balance reasons and because the Slam attack is the only ability that refers to Ice Reaper ("see also ice reaper"). The aura nor Death Burst have that reference.

Got the e-mail after a minute, but it took the website an hour before it aknowledged my subscription.

Right, at home the 'new' Facebook is enabled and there I had no problem. At work the 'new' Facebook is disabled and it gives the error. I'd have to guess as to the reason why on the computers at work the 'new' Facebook is disabled. Maybe no permission for certain plug-ins, or such. Some...

Same error message as Ginnel. Closing browser, clearing cache, relogging in Facebook, ... no combination seems to help.

Music would be a great power source, flavorful and unique, so my feeling is music should be the core of the Bard class. Using that music, he can be a Jack-of-all-trades, encouraging allies, charming people, annoying enemies, even invoke thunderous attacks. I don't feel illusion as being that...

Yes, we do mean 'one and sixty hundredths'. Personally I'm 1m72 tall, so when people ask me "how tall are you?" my answer is "1m72". So there is more precision in using cm compared to inches. Now I've been playing D&D for over 15 years, so I'm quite familiar with inches, feet, yards and...

Role type I sounds cool to play. Type II is still ok too. Type III? Meh, boooring. And role Type IV, come on... puh-lease. Who wants to play that? Seriously.

Unfortunately Inspirational Boost says "If you don’t begin to use your inspire courage ability before the beginning of your next turn, the spell’s effect ends." If you spend your standard action on activating your Badge of Courage, you won't be able to start your Inspire Courage song before...

Favor of the Martyr (SC p89) makes you immune to and suspends nausea, among other ill effects. In the SC it's a Pal4 only spell though. If you play in the Forgotten Realms it's called Favor of Ilmater (PGtF p102), a Clr4/Pal4 spell.

AFAIK, only the PrC ability 'Combine Songs' does what you ask for. 2nd level Seeker of the Song (CA) or 5th level War Chanter (CW) required. In the Seeker of the Song description of the ability you can start 2 songs at once as a standard action. The War Chanter version isn't as elaborated, but...

If you want some offensive type of spell: Glitterdust (PHB) or Cloud of Bewilderment (first in MoF, then updated in PGtF, final version in SC). The former asks for a Will save, the latter a Fort save.

Legend Lore from the PHB can have a casting time up to 1d10 days and even 2d6 weeks. A strict interpretation of the rules makes this impossible to cast.

http://realmshelps.dandello.net/datafind/feats.shtml is a good source for all feats too.

What KarinsDad meant with it being illogical was that the loss of Dex to AC does make the PC easier to damage, so Dex AC does factor in, except that it doesn't factor in because it's trivial to 'hit' (as in: touch) the PC. Maybe easier to explain with an example (KD's, but more extreme, for...

You're right, it's paradoxical. All in all the 'AC order' is just a tool to enhance storytelling during combat, not a game mechanic that has to be 100% solid. I think you'll hit inconsistencies either order one designs. Actually in our own campaign each time an NPC misses a PC by exactly 1, we...

Isn't it normal that from a certain point on, attacks are so well aimed that indeed you can't dodge them anymore and have to rely on your '(natural) armor' AC to avoid getting hurt? I feel Thanee's order still holds up.

The fact that your CE AC bonus works as well against that archer or ray shooting caster is another is another reason the prerequisite of being "in melee" has to go. "Quick fellows, let's find us some melee opponents so I can kickstart my CE, before that flying Sorcerer fries us with his...

Except that "being enemies" is a relative term. If my character and his best friend engage in some friendly swordplay sparring, we're not engaged in melee? Because he's my best friend, not my enemy at all. At most, he's my opponent in this sparring match. Quite absurd how you could do a whole...

Exactly, that's why the "in melee" (as defined in Hypersmurf's description) prerequisite to activate CE is nonsense. It leads to situations like: you and your party stumble upon some enemies on the other side of a 80' long hall. You (the party fighter with CE, wielding a longsword) goes first in...

The phrase "in melee" is not really defined in D&D. You better interprete it as "wielding a melee weapon". The purpose is just to say that you can't Combat Expertise wielding a bow or other purely ranged weapon.
