Well, the sneakiness was in having another Defending or Spellstrike weapon effectively in play, along with more weapon abilities requiring the weapon be held in order for them to offer benefit.

Looking at a nearby Kensai thread, it got me to thinking that the bracers of striking could be modeled after that instead... so the bracers would count as a single weapon, but all abilities would cost 120% of the normal value instead of double. If you were a DM, what would you say to that?

...or two defending broadblade shortswords

When enhancing Bracers of Striking (Magic of Faerun pg 155)... do the two bracers count as seperate heads of a double weapon with abilities that count once for each end... or is it treated like a single weapon that simply costs twice the normal price, with abilities that only count once for the...

Divine Ward is a nice feat to take for the MT as well, using your turn attempts to make touch spells affect close range targets. There is also a spell in Dragon 280 called Familiar's Touch, which lets you charge your familiar with touch spells even if you aren't in contact. It lasts 1...

maybe you could implement a massive damage variant rule for non-lethal damage that simply knocks a target out, increasing the nonlethal damage on a failed save to match their remaining HPs and effectively knock them unconcious.

Kung-Fu Genius Some styles of martial arts require the student to memorize advanced medical texts and anatomical charts. These styles favor the intellectual over the introspective. Prerequisite: Int 13, must be gained at or before the first level of the monk class, or the ninja class, is taken...

Technically, you could qualify for Improved Toughness and get +1 hp per HD. You could also take Minor Shapeshift if you have a polymorph spell of at least 4th level prepared.

If asked as a DM, would you allow a person to trade the ninja's sudden strike feature for fighter bonus feats in the same way a Feat Rogue can trade their sneak attack feature for them? Im just searching for a general consensus for or against.

I just feel a disconnect between making an attack roll with penalty = gain the benefits and defending yourself using the same amount of action economy + not making an attack roll at all = not gaining the benefits

I mean moreso using a standard action to represent performing an active defense for the round using Combat Expertise or a Defending Weapon... but then not making make the attack roll... either because you are simply holding back and don't want take a hostile action... or there are no enemies...

Well, those would probably be different templates, movement speeds such as glide or swim, along with different bonus feats. as per the flavor text regarding 'avariels' One in a hundred elves, never including sea elves or drow, develop these traits by the time they reach maturity.

That's what I don't get as far as defending weapons (and combat expertise) go... I mean, as long as you are weilding/using the weapon as a means of defending yourself, shouldn't it still be used to actively defend you even if it itsn't used to make an attack roll? Edit: moreso using a...

Yeah, that's what I figured, although scribe scroll isn't really used as a specific feat prerequiste that I'm aware of, hence Magic Artisan which is like a Spell Focus or Weapon Focus equivalent for an Item Creation feat.

Born in 1297 DR, Drizzt is 75 years old at the time the FRCS 3.0 came out, setting the current date at 1372 DR and writing him up as having 16 class levels... not that it has anything to do with setting a biological average. As far as middle earth goes, given that Tolkien has a lot to do with...

Or perhaps even Magical Artisan (Scribe Scroll) as per PGtF, p. 41

VARIENT: Avariels exist not as a subrace, but manifest seemingly at random among normal elves. Much in the same way that dwarven thunder twins, a four-armed sahugain or a blue goblin is periodically born, there is a small chance an elf will develop avian traits during puberty, becoming an...
