Lupic looks up from his ale and grunts at the greeting, but in a fairly amiable way.

Lupic returns A battered looking half orc strides into the Inn and heads to the bar. Taking an available stool ("hmm, seems pretty empty here" he thinks to himself) he orders up some ale and waits.

Grapple in many cases in 3.5 is an "I Win" button. The use of CMB and CMD gets rid of this. The most egregious examples of grapple being over the top was when employed by big monsters, so honestly something did have to be done to reign it in. Players using grapple, if they were whole hog in it...

False. A melee combatant has appreciably more options for putting the hurt down on a caster that gets anywhere near here. The 5' step away defense and casting defensively are no longer the sure thing they used to be. If a fighter is built right, casters should be very afraid. The only save or...

I'm of the opinion that more feats never hurts. Make some of the new ones available to your 3.5 people. There's really nothing incompatible about feats.

You cite a situation where the fighter is getting four attacks. That means high level. The amount of high level foes that don't have SR is limited in my experience (other than NPCs, and even they can get it). There's your roll to hit for the mage. This is, of course, coupled with a saving throw...

I comment on both boards actually. Given their recent difficulties with uptime, I've been here a bit more.

So I imagine this means you didn't find my answer very informative. As such I think I'll refrain from bothering with more explanation.

Fighters got some good beefing up with class abilities and a large expansion of combat feats. In their preferred weapon(class), they will have +5 to hit and +5 damage at 20th level. This is on top of anything else such as focus, BAB, and strength bonus. As I figure it, a 20th level fighter made...

Does downloading the pdf count? I got that yesterday. The physical copy is taking its time from Amazon.

Only gave it a seven because there were some changes from the book that were unnecessary and I think an 8 requires a pretty darned good film. I enjoyed it, and I though they did pretty well given the limitations of the medium and what was in the book. I believe the important stuff was covered...

Once upon a time my call would have been Star Wars, but after the prequel debacle, I've moved over to Trek.

It seems odd that the bowls you find are so expensive. I can generally stop by an Asian grocery store and buy them by the case for around $1 each. As for jazzing up ramen, I generally always went with the ramen egg drop soup method myself to make it a more complete meal. Hard to beat eggs for...

I'll be starting up a game using the Pathfinder Beta rules running the Legacy of Fire Adventure Path. If you are interested drop me a PM. Sessions will be Monday nights around 7PM - 10 PM

Count me in the Armagnac over Cognac camp. It's just got more flavor. buzzard
