Well, at least we agree on something. I too prefer option 2. :-D WRT the -20 bit, I see your point. HiPS says that you CAN hide under observation, but it doesn't say it should be easy. -20 seems a bit steep though, I see this as being a DM call as to how carefully the opponent is watching...

An interesting opinion. I wonder if the original intent of the feat was to HiPS against anything or just creatures without Lowlight or Darkvision. Seems to be kind of a waste if that's true... If you opt for the interpretation that HiPS doesn't work vs LL or DV opponents, it severely limites...

Well, for a javelin with 10d6 damage, you'd need a 10th level wizard casting lightning into it. Returning is a +1 modifyier isn't it? So, base price is Masterwork (300) + weapon cost (5 gp?) + bonus squared * 2000 (8000). So a Returning +1 Javelin would cost roughly 8300. Now, that 10d6...

I pretty much agree with that statement. Hide can be very powerful, the only thing that keeps it in check is the opposed spot check. Against normal opponents (humanoid), Hide is probably better than Invis. Against many monsters that receive a hefty racial bonus to Spot (satyr gets a +15 I...

So sayeth the SAGE From the Sage: ---------- From: Dr. Nukem DrNukem: Hide in Plain Site (HiPS) by definition is a Supernatural Ability. Supernatural Abilities require a standard action to activate. The Monk's speed becomes a SU ability at 9th level. Does a monk have to spend a Std...

By Alaric: "i don't think you can make that assumption. SU abilities require a standard action, the fact that the ability is based on hide has nothing to do with that. Unless you can find a reference that says Hide in Plain Sight is an exception to this rule i would have to assume that it's a...

You may find some different opinions regarding what type of an action Hide is. Many would argue that it is not a free action, rather a standard action (to hide) as using a skill is a standard action unless otherwise stated. We've had a very large discussion in our group, dvvega being one of...

Free money?!?! 100 + 1d100 gp per week?!!? Man, why go adventuring anymore!! :D

given all that... Ok, with all that explaining done, 1 -- how does this example fit into your numbered system AND 2 -- is it a valid option? Assume all required feats/skills. In one round, could a character... 1) Hide and Spring Attack Move (ie, move while hidden) 2) Attack 3) Hide and...

Poison damage stacking? From SRD: http://www.wizards.com/d20/files/SRDSpecialAbilities.rtf Poison: When a character takes damage from an attack with a poisoned weapon, touches an item smeared with contact poison, consumes poisoned food or drink, or is otherwise poisoned, he must make a...

Hide, Bluff, Tumble...free or not? Here are a couple good posts/discussions of a very similiar nature. http://www.enworld.org/messageboards/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5612 http://pub58.ezboard.com/fokayyourturnfrm13.showNextMessage?topicID=1461.topic

Hiding = concealment Just because you are hidden does not mean you can't be hit. Hiding = 100% concealment which in turn = 50% miss rate...NOT you can't be hit. You can hit what you can't see... http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/srd/srdcombatmodifiers.html under concealment... On the plus...

Can you Hide, Tumble, Jump, etc (movement type action) while using the Total Defense action? SRD: Total defense [Standard][AoO: No] Description: A combatant doesn't attack or perform any other activity other than moving at base speed, but the combatant gets a +4 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round...

If an NPC is held, can you affect that person? The spell description states that the held person can not move, but it does not state they can't *be* moved. Would forcing the held person to do something (ie, manually moving them) be an opposed str roll? For example, if you wanted to take the...

As a reincarnated being, I would say that you do not have access to the skills or feats of the race you get reincarnated as. You would have access to any of the supernatural or inherent racial abilities, but not the class skills/feats. For instance, the Satyr has Dodge, Mobility, and Combat...
