And how does one incur debt? Is this a negative quality in the non-core book? From what I've read you can't incur debt in the core rules. You can only spend your bps you have available; unless I'm missing something.

We have always had (since 1e) three types of wishes (not RAW): 1) Wish - the way it's written in the books, plus. The 'plus' is based on the greed of the character, the greedier the less likely the wish. 2) Fate Wish (e.g. Monkey's Paw) - you may get exactly what you wished for but it always...

I think I'm doing a really bad job of explaining my POV. I should have properly recapped. I'm not saying that the various interpretations of Acid Arrow are wrong. In fact, the way I've been playing it is essentially the ways mentioned (basically a ray is an extension of the person so therefore...

I like to figure out ahead of time things my character can do, so I'm afraid I need to ask a couple of questions before I join my first real session. Movement: As I understand it a PC moves at his rate/Initiative Passes. The question becomes, does the move occur before, during or after any...

Alright, so we will be playing Shadowrun 4, I believe with all the books. I'm a complete newbie at it. We have a Street Samurai, a Technomancer, and either a Face or Magician of some sort. Since it doesn't matter to me what I play, playing a Gunslinger Adept was mentioned. It sounds interesting...

I was answering another post which made me realize I had forgotten about this one from so long ago. I would contend that you are the one who doesn't know what a "targeted spell" would be. From the RC: So it is not necessary to have a target line for a spell to be a targeted spell (a spell...

Anklets of Translocation. MIC p.71 However, let's remember though, the OP says PHB and DMG only. My suggestions have already been taken (except of course boots of teleportation).

Well, there's blood fiend but it's not a race. I'm also presuming you don't mean the half-fiend from MM (p. 147). Can you give us anything else? Any description to narrow it down?

It is as you surmised. With a palm throw you make a single attack roll, but specifically must make separate damage rolls for each weapon. So, Insightful Strike, which adds Int to the damage roll, adds to each roll. So it would be 2 x (d4 + INT) or, if you like, d4+INT/d4+INT. With Deadly...

I meant the druid's wolf. Now that I think of it, why not the bad guys? Don't have a Worg? Armor your pet wolf up. I've never really liked the idea of Orcs on Worgs. I've always thought one should be like "Dude, seriously, get off me or I'll easily beat the crap out of you."

Ah. I was afraid I was using an old term. I still call Spiritual Weapon, Spiritual Hammer. Old habits, you know.

Banding? What happened to good old 'barding'? Name wasn't good enough? Too much like 'bard'?

Ah, yes, Traveller. I once spent literally hours rolling up a fantastic character (great rolls), only to have him die on his last tour (I think I was required to do one more tour). Diiiissssaaaapppoinnnnttteddd.

On the animal companion part: To me 'typical' simply means the standard MM listing. I, personally, wouldn't allow a switch for the dog from Alertness to whatever because, IMO, Alertness is the natural feature of the dog. Just like Trip is for the Wolf (or rather one trained at birth). I can't...

Yeah, that I've got, but still there's got to be more. I just don't see wasting a feat on it. Ah, but that is all dependent on the altruism of the DM. I tend to be a fair but realistic (ouch, evil, evil word) DM. For example, a druid became annoyed when his entangle field didn't stop the guards...

Alright, I'll ask the stupid question: why Scribe Scroll? I'm trying to see the advantage but it's probably so obvious I'm missing it.

Dandu, in regards to Andal Durrak: What am I missing here (it's bugging me)? Shouldn't his attack with the qstaff be 3d6+8 one handed, or 3d6+11 two-handed? I can see the advantage of the character if I were to say to you "create an ECL 8 Druid" but I confess that the character seems somewhat...

Clarification: Do you mean a feat that increases the distance of a Scout's ranged attack skirmish (e.g. beyond 30 ft.)?

Oh, I agree by RAW it works. But as you implied it's in how one views skirmish. We tend to view the skirmisher as the juke and jive combatant whose moves are so chaotic and quick that it gives him an extra oomph. Plus the 'force' of the movement gives him more. Our current DM hates the idea that...

Well, for an arcane type, I can't think of anything better than the Ultimate Magus (Complete Mage, I believe). Here is a 'preliminary' Handbook on it. The Wizard/Beguiler combo means you use only one stat (INT) for spells. BTW, if you know it, it might help to know how stats will be...
