Ditto. I think loot division is a vital part of group dynamic where they get to see how much they trust each other, as well as think about the wll-being of the group over their own benefit. A fighter will get a couple skills with a +2 int boost, but that item obviously benefits the wiz the...

Quick question: Fighter weapon talent: "Choose either 1-handed or 2-handed weapons. When using a weapon of your chosen style, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls." If I choose 2-handed, does that apply to ranged weapons as well?

Maybe its just me, but maxing out one stat relies hevily on other members of the party to protect you. You can do what you do well... but taken out of your element and you drown. I would like to be a little more self sufficient. It just seems a little more realistic for an adventurer -...

You dont make the weapons. Rather, you have an adventuring party collect them as they do their daily dungeondelving, bring them back to your shop and sel them t a small discount. You can also take special commissions to produce. The "recommended" retail price is listed in the DMG. but if...

I wouldnt allow it. Realistically, moving would take up the 6 seconds for that round. Then gathering up the momentum and speed to charge would take too much time. In Game - The reason action and movement are broken up is for simplicity - because one uses upper body and the other uses lower...

Thanks a bunch.... Thats what I get for overlooking the intro paragraphs to the sections.

Could someone tell me what the starting gold is for lvl 1, and where to find it? I may be blind, but i cant find starting gold in the PHB. I briefly thumbed through the DMG at the bookstore, and didnt see it there either. Seeing that they placed all the magic items and potions in the PHB, I...

Considering they have only 1 hp, i dont think you can make them wrong. Just make a lvl 1 NPC, with standard/average stats and 1 hp, and you are good to go. Dont bother with skills or feats cause they probably wont be around long enough to use them. Minions are basically there to draw...

That makes sense.. Ina fight, I can see how one ally bobbing and weaving, regardless of their battle prowess can help. Or climbing, when you can help regardless of your athleticism, and strength checks regardles of your actual strength can all help. but i cant see how someone without skill...

I dont see a problem here. The halfling has Skill Focus, and the pirate doesnt. Is it really fair to compare two characters when one is designed to do something, while the other is MC fighter? And MC anything should not be as good as any pure class at what they are designed. If the pirate...

I like the idea. In a real world explanation, you have a great fighter going into battle, He is fully armored and swings a greatsword. being a great fighter, he will catch his main target as well as inadvertantly catch the people peripheral to the main target as well. Also - in a real fight...

I agree with you. I really didnt care for magic shops where you have a golf bag of magic +1,+2 random "crap" to trade in for that shiny +6 sword of awesomeness o the wall- just to trade that in as soon as you reach the next town. Having the sword of your grandfather the great adventurer that...

I chose B because it basically is the opposite of Combat Expertise. You deal extra damage at the expense of defense, which applies to all attacks that round. Choice A - only gives a benefit without any drawbacks. Plus, it is mainly for weapons wielded 2-handed. Why would a ftr NOT take this...

Hmmm... 750 USD, bring own lappy, move to Minnesota with just 3 month contract and no guarantee of LT job offer... and the job poster seems very angry, demanding and anal...

We always say that there is a Santa, leprechauns, easter bunny, tooth fairy, you name it... Mu nephews and nieces (dont have children of my own) are old enough that they know there is no santa - and hat we put the presents under the tree... but they play along and thank us anyhow. Maybe...
