Thank you very much! That is the defence I was looking for ;) Really appreciate the help. Cheers! ben

Thanks for the reply! That is not the defence I was looking for... ;) The system I am after involves having a DC for each opponent, while the PCs roll a "defence" against this DC. The problem is that I have forgotten how to calculate the DC and the defence roll. It should theoretically be...

Hi A while back I read a great variant rule that called for PCs to roll a "defence roll" instead of the DM rolling attack rolls for NPCs. The DC for the roll is set by the BAB and combat bonuses of the attacker. Unfortunately I can't remember where I saw the rule or how to calculate the DC...

Apologies if this has been covered recently, I don't have search and went back ten pages or so :D ______________________________________________________________ My group has never used overrun. I looked at the SRD, and am still slightly confused. If anyone can shed some light on how it works...

Yes -which is where I was coming from originally with this... can't see the guy in full plate leaping nimbly back from the suddenly collapsing floor :D On the other hand I can see the increased cover compensating for reduced mobility... Still not 100% decided.

Hey all Was thinking about applying Armour Check Penalty to reflex saves. The justification would be that it makes sense to me that armour would slow you down and and also it penalises the armoured tank type character/rewards the light armour brigade -my current character is an orc tank, so...

The point actually came up 'cause the DM was having all his NPCs tumble past my tank of an orc fighter ;) Hence my sudden interest in making tumble a bit more "manageable". But seriously it did bother me that all opponents were treated equally in terms of DC. I think adding BAB to the DC is...

Hmmm. Good point. Especially about people ending up with worse AC... How about some way of increasing the DC depending on opponent's stats? +2 for every 5 points of BAB opponent has +2 if opponent has combat reflexes +2 if opponent has improved initiative +2 if opponent is using natural or...

Hi everyone At our game a couple of nights ago I noticed that I have a real problem with Tumble as written in the SRD. It seems ridiculous that a skill check against a standard DC (15) allows one to slip past anybody, be they a peasant with a stick or a level 18 swashbuckler with a magic...

My 5th level human fighter melee tank has only used Great Cleave a couple of times, but a couple of weeks ago the party was swamped with Tiny spiders (about 90 of them) and the usefulness of Great Cleave became apparent when said fighter was killing 8 or 9 of them per round. I think it's a good...
