i called it an ooze cause i didn't know what it was, but it was covered in garbage and we weren't about to shift around its internals to do an autopsy. we just hacked off the head looking part and then hacked the rest into little pieces =)

this reminds me of a time when we were fighting an ooze with regeneration and no type of damage did it normal damage. My barbarian and the half orc fighter coup de grace'd to neg 1k (took like 1 minute, we averaged like 140 damage a round) and then we rested a night and stone shaped it into a...

speaking of medusa, i'm thinking of putting a medusa blackguard that rides a black unicorn in my game as a villian, opinions? Grom

to trentonjoe, my guess is ac 21 is the ac to power attack one point, and then every 1 or 2 ac lower add another power attack. I have a calculation based on my barbarian at 12th level, but it's dependant on damage and I haven't bothered formulating it. Btw, Cheiromancer, that equation is...

Statistically, power attack is better the less amount of damage you deal. If you swing around a 20 pound great axe, with a phat strength like 22, you deal 15.5 points of damage per hit. Now, assuming you get 3 attacks a round, power attack becomes attractive when their ac is the same as your...

yah, basically the blade is to a rapier what a bastard sword is to a longsword =) Grom

My favorite feat is... Fleet of foot? the one that lets you charge in crooked lines. Nothing like charging around a group of orcs and killing thier cleric leader in one shot *power lunge is good too* as for inproved init.. it's over rated. In fact, often it's better to go after your foes...

Dang, you brits sure have alot of crime... I'm gonna go get a hamburger, safe in knowing that no englishman with a club is gonna bean me on the way to McD's. =) Grom

Ishamael from the Wheel of Time. I just love that guy. Another thing about the WoT, alot of the villians just don't realise they're villians, which I find REALLY ironic, and makes the series that much better =) Grom

I've got a plus # to drown. Considering our first few 3e games, where most the characters wore heavy armor, we had huge penalties to swim, so we looked on the bright side. Crap, Init 23, I'm gonna die. Said by the half orc fighter Scrag, cause he usually rolls bad init, but when he rolls...

hehe, use your pinky toe instead of fingure, you use it less, and is fully supported by the hide life spell (amazing spell for reacurring villians) Grom

The point of making a smack down with no items is that in a typical dnd game where the dm allows any WotC rules, you can pull this off, and don't need items to do it =) anyhoo, got another one, this time you don't need any equip =) (altho a couple monk abilities won't work in an antimagic...

as for items taking damage from area attacks... You do realise that hit points are an abstraction, and that if your level 10 fighter gets hit for 30 points of fire damage, where as you would be saying that he is now nakked, i would be saying that if he's nakked, how did he live? Flesh is pretty...

UK: Actually a solution to needing a 20 to hit, is that early on in fights you need the 20, but as the fight progresses and characters get tired, (enter stamina), they start lossing defensive effectiveness =)

as to the shuriken, it's been over ruled officially. So no dice, bud.
