XP in D&D Over the last 34 years of playing one form of D&D or another I have changed my method of XP a great deal. In the very beginning I would award XP per encounter at the end of every session to each player based on the group's performance; pretty much standard XP. Players that were absent...

I haven't looked into everything in your post, but usually the most simple answer is correct. That simple answer is this. Like bonuses don't stack. You are trying to stack a STR bonus with a STR bonus. Jeff

Another thing to remember is "Ranged" touch attacks also suffer from the same penalties as that of a bow or other Ranged attacks. You will get a -4 attack roll if your target is in combat. But with that said, "Ranged" feats apply to Ranged Touch attacks. You can pick up Precise Shot, Point...

I would agree on this as well.

Dispel Magic Vs. Permanency I think the ruling is quite clear. I think the PRD could be worded a bit better but it's not bad over all. Permanency This application of permanency can be dispelled only by a caster of higher level than you were when you cast the spell. Dispel Magic Targeted...

Actually I was thinking of the negitive energy channel and the dominate person as the two powers that will be very effective against the party. Of course the party has a Cleric and a Paladin in the party so they have more "Channel" power then the Vampire - AntiPaladin has. What I'm worried...

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I think the biggest thing I missed was the "Su:" portion of the ability. It's "like" dominate person but still a supernatural ability. So, the command could come in the same round. As for the PfE effects I believe they would allow the second save at...

Thanks, that makes sense. So it's really up to the PC to make the first or 2nd save granted by the PfromE. Also, more importantly as you say they are not a Robot. Thanks Jeff

Ok, I have a question about Dominate Person as per "Vampire" creature. I'm going to explain a hypothetical situation where the Dominate Person is cast onto a player. Lets say that a party of players engage a Vampire (Happens to be an Anti-Paladin from APG, with a Vampire Template, Level 6)...

Melee/Rogue Well, I finally decided what I was going to make... In the end I went with the Rogue/Swash combo using Daring Outlaw, and Swaped out Trapsense for Penatrating Strike. Also, going with the TWF line, Imp Crit and throwing in Iron Will to beef up my sorry Will save. At first level...

Hello Everyone, I'm usually the GM most of the time but I'm actually going to play in a new campaign and I want to play a Scout/Rogue/Fighter type of character. Main things I want in this character are the ability to handle traps (Rogue Skills) and the ability to defend myself (Fighting). I've...

Dwarven Ranger This was done fairly fast at work... so, I'm not swearing every # is 100% correct.. but it's pretty darn close. Draxle Ironworks, the spelunking Ranger. Dwarven Ranger Paragon path: Pit Fighter Stats at 1st level: Stats at 16th level: Str 17 Str 22 Con 13...

You are correct, that makes it a bit better. I was thinking Stats which you can not retrain.. but still no more stacking +dam feats. JBC

Ok, well I just figured out they added a new type keyword. "Feat". Example: Dwarven Weapon Training: [Dwarf] Prereq: Dwarf Benefit: You gain proficiency and a +2 "feat bonus" to damage rolls with axes and hammers. Weapon Focus: Prereq: None Benefit: Choose a specific weapon group, such as...

Bluff Bluff'ing in combat is in. You can get an opertunity attack with a successful bluff check. Rogues with high CHA's are going to be very interesting. JBC
