Hey all. I haven't played since 3rd, and I have a few friends who haven't played at all. We're hoping to start a game, but I don't have the time to adequately run one, and no one else has the experience. So we're looking to hire a DM in the area. If the following sounds appealing, let me know...

Just to clarify, does that mean that you can cast a spell with a charge (such as shocking grasp) in the same round as when you make a natural attack with a limb holding the charge? I had always thought that you could indeed make such an attack, but that it would take two rounds to do so (one...

Ya, not a lot of apparently synergy there. This is the probably the last 3.X game I'll be playing in for a while and I've always wanted to try out a cleric/monk. The original reason for wanting to has been lost to me, but the desire remains. The apparent lack of synergy is why I'm coming to you...

Thanks for all the quick replies guys. Very helpful and much appreciated. We're starting at lvl 1 with 28 point buy. This is the World's Largest Dungeon (I'd appreciate a lack of spoilers if possible), so Druids and Wizards are highly discouraged. I'm thinking Sacred Fist might be worth...

I'll shortly be starting a campaign and I'd like to play a multi-class cleric/monk. I've only ever played core before, and all of a sudden I have wealth of splat books at my disposal (complete X, PHB II, plus whatever the DM thinks is not too broken). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to...

While we're swallowing pride and making sad admissions, I clicked on the proffered link and it resulted in the opening of an email. Apparently I'm too old to know how the internet works. So...uh...could someone maybe give me a hint? (I'm assuming here that writing an email saying 'Here's some...

When my PCs are dropped into the negatives in 4th edition, I give them an option similar to the one they have when they drop an enemy. When they go down they can chose to either be unconscious and/or otherwise obviously out of the fight (broken/severed limb, sword in the abdomen, etc...) or they...

Would any of you who have more experience DMing mind giving me some advice concerning the appropriate ECL for encounters for a party consisting of a Fighter 3 and a Rogue 1/Ranger 2? It would be most appreciated.

One step up from 4d6 is 4d8. The problem is that an 11th lvl large monk does 2d8 and a 12th level large monk does 3d6. Make them both huge and the 11th level monk is now doing 4d6 while the 12th level monk is now doing 3d8. One would think that everything else being equal, a higher level monk...

I'm sure this is a very easy question to answer, but I haven't been able to find out what that answer is. How much damage does an unarmed monk do if that monk is huge? I thought it might follow the rules for increasing the natural attack damage of a monster as that monster got larger, but if...

Ok, last question (hopefully). How do you go about deciding whether to grapple or trip? The only really obvious case I can come up with is one in which the opponent has natural weapons, which rather defeats the purpose of grappling (at least in most situations). *Edit* Also, can I use trip...

Good call with that. I had been planning on saving some money for the monk's belt but hadn't put two and two together and realized that, you know, it would go on in belt slot I was already using. As for the rank in disable device, this has been billed as a wilderness adventure, so I'll...

Here's what I have so far: Falir Falzak of Vonerg {Lawful Good, with a focus on the lawful} HP: 58 AC: 18 19 16 16 10 16 6 Maxed Skills: Escape Artist, Tumble Half-maxed skills: Listen, Spot, Jump, Climb Monk Feats: Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist, Combat Reflexes, and...

Just wanted to publically note that Piratecat is awesome. That is all.

Thank you very much for the link Nonlethal Force. I've emailed Piratecat in the most obsequious manner I know how. As for INA, I've checked with the DM and he's fine with it, although I haven't checked with him about whether or not I can take it at sixth. I'm not sure why I was so convinced...

Thanks for the advice. One follow-up question. I had looked at INA but thought that I was too low level to take it. It has a Bab of 4 as a pre-req, which I don't get until sixth level. Doesn't that mean that I cannot take it as my sixth level feat?

I have been lurking for a while and thought that this would be a good time for my first post. I'm about to join a new game that is starting up and I'll be playing a dwarven monk because I've played neither a dwarf nor a monk in the past. I know that a while back there was a thread about monks...
