    Crippling Strike Clarification please

    Thanks for the responses. I seems a wee bit broken to me, I appreciate you have to hit with all 4 attacks (5 if the wizard casts haste) but -8 or -10 to strength seems pretty obscene. Average damage from my kender would be around 80 damage which is a lot but to get -10 strength -5 to hit and...

    Crippling Strike Clarification please

    I'm about to level my rogue to 10th level and of all the special feats that can be taken I really like crippling strike. However, it seems from the way it reads in the 3.5 PHB that every time I attack and sneak I also do 2 strength damage. In theory I have a full round attack hit 4 times do...

    Odd Subdual Question (my players stay out)

    I think it depends entriely what level your party are. If they are high level you're gonna have problems in taking them without some spell use. I was thinking that they are low level, maybe even 1st in which case subdual damage is relatively easy to dish out and ensure that they go down...

    Odd Subdual Question (my players stay out)

    Sneaky, underhanded, mean, nasty, manipulative I like it! :-) If you hit them with any part of the weapon other than the part you shoudl use I'd use it like an improvised weapon and give them minuses to hit and damage accordingly. Better still go for the monk option Datchi

    Odd Subdual Question (my players stay out)

    The easiest way to resolve this would be for the guards to be monks or have a level in Monk. Monks can use their fists to do normal or subdual damage at no modifiers and they get d6 + strength. If you didn't want Monks, the dirty fighting feet adds d4 damage to unarmed strikes and which woudl...

    Cover and combat

    I currently play in two groups. One of these groups has taken the following rulling on firing in to combat and I'm wondering if it's correct. The big beefy fighter is in combat with a mean Drow and my Archer is standing back wanting to fire into combat. Now if I don't have precise shot I...

    What skill would you use...

    I'd go for perform myself as it's about the closest your going to get. The idea of mimicking a sound of an animal could be likened to someone throwing their voice or impersonating anothers voice which are "entertainment" type activities.

    Price an item that knows when you drop...

    As Blood Jester said, the spell you woudl need is contingency. I see what your trying to do, in fact the Paladin in our current group has a sword which does exactly what you're suggesting. However the only spell that lets you trigger another spell when something happens in contingency. The...

    Arcane Trickster?

    Thanks for the advice. I think I will indeed go for it. Just wanted to make sure also that I've doen this correctly. I took Wizard levels first so that on going rogue I could get all 7 ranks of decipher script without taking a 4th rogue level. Is that Ok as I'm CL 6 I can have up to 9 ranks...

    I have a level 3 Wizard/ level 3 Rogue Tiefling (ECL 7). In a party with a Beefcake lvl7 Fighter, 7th level sorc and 7th level combat cleric. My question is do you think an arcane trickster woudl fit well into this party?

    How does your group divide up the treasure?

    In the group I play in when we get to the end of the adventure we calculate the re-sale value of any magic items and al of the gold, gems etc and then divide this by the number of party members. We then have a total of what each player woudl get if we sell all of the items in gp's. We then go...
