On a slight side note, is every member of your party considered to be an enemy or just one of them? It's pretty much a munchin way out, but what about saying the heavily armed fighter is your new "enemy" while the cleric who heals you isn't? Then the cleric could cast calm emotion and the FB...

Balance is a good way to handle it, or quite possibly Profession (Sailor). However, if you let them make skill checks, it should be done whenever they attempt to move or are hit. This could get a bit tedious (lots of dice rolling). It would probably be much simpler to allow them 1 roll at the...

Not sure how everyone else does it, but in our game you can only prestige to a single class...I believe there has been some discussion from both the Sage and Monte on this... Personally, I like the idea of being limited to a single prestige class. It fits with the "specialization" that should...

You could probably get away with a house rule to the effect that if a monster has Combat Reflexs then they can use all of their natural attacks as an AoO. Of course, this does open a door for *any*thing that has natural attacks (Monk?) to get their full attack as an AoO. Better off not going...

Not having the book handy, I can't read the section... Given that, I still feel this doesn't fit with the flavour of the game and will House Rule accordingly. Thanks for the discussion...

I too have had this dillema... As a group, we play the MAX skill if you have had the skill as part of one of your classes. So, in your example, the Rog1/Wiz1 could have 5 ranks in hide. 4 coming from the Rogue class and 1 (costing 2) from the Wizard class. Having said that, I don't think...

Yup...standard action, or at the very least a MEA (with appropriate feats)... So, every other round a rogue can get one sneak attack. Meanwhile the fighter is taking a full attack action and laying some serious smack down on the rogue. It all evens out in the end. Now, a rogue with Expert...

You 100% sure there? Full attack [Full][AoO: No] Description: If a combatant gets more than one attack per action, the combatant must use the full attack action to use those additional attacks. A combatant does not need to specify the targets of a the attacks ahead of time. A combatant can see...

...and then possibly provoke and AoO!!! HAH! Let them try! :0

Funny enough, this just happened in our weekly campaign. The half-orc in our group infiltrated an orc camp. When they finally realized they were under attack (from the human members of our party) they reacted. The half-orc let a group of archers move past him until the last 2 came by. At...

Nice write-up... Defenders inside the grapple are denied their Dex bonus if attacked from outside the grapple. Firing into melee has a -4 attack modifier. Cover would provide an attack modifier for both melee and missle attacks (my opinion there). Outside of that, there's nothing in the...

Uh oh...open mouth, insert foot... Key words: "threatening enemies, but not from your target" :p

Not sure about that Hong... Your opponent does not get 2 AoO when you initiate a grapple, they only get 1. Now, is that from the Unarmed attack or moving into their square, that's the question. Still, it's only 1 AoO...

What about if the PCs make the monster's flee? That would constitute a victory...but what if the monsters later regrouped and came back, more XP? Classic example is the super villain...he never dies (until the DM deems it storyline appropriate)...but more often than not he is thwarted (not...

Take a look at the example of mounted combat in S&F (p. 65-66). It explicity shows one rider attacking(ride by attack). In this situation the attack does not draw an AoO against the rider, but it *DOES* draw an AoO against the mount. The Mounted Combat feat allows you to attempt to evade 1...

That would really depend on how you rule on the Hide skill. There are stacks of threads on this...whether it is a MEA or part of a movement action... I personally think that Hiding (and thus the HiPS ability) should be considered free actions when combined with movement. That's just my...

I'd say most of those actions are already covered within the scope of the rules. Push someone prone? Sounds like a type of a trip to me...use the trip attack rules. Back 5'? Sounds like a type of bull rush to me...use the bull rush rules. I think there are rules for your cinematic results...

Ok, if you've read the posts, you've probably gathered that I play a Rogue/Shadowdancer. My opinion is that the ability fits the level. You have to be at least 8th level to gain this ability. By that point, any class that has some nifty Ex or SU abilities...even if they don't PrC. Straight...

*NOT* a standard action Take a look at some of the previous discussions on HiPS. http://test.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10146 Specifically this thread... http://test.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7456 The Sage has recommended (ok, ruled...but it's your game)...

Drawing a weapon is a MEA unless you combine said action with a move and have a +1 BAB *OR* you have the Quickdraw feat. Getting a hand on the sword in the sheath will require either an attack (Attacking an item or Touch Attack depending on how you see it) or a skill check (pickpocket in this...
