The current suspicion regarding FoB BAB is that the Monk may get something similar to their Maneuver Training ability from Beta, which reads; 'a monk uses his monk level in place of his base attack bonus when calculating his combat maneuver bonus. Base attack bonuses granted from other classes...

For the Adventure Paths, it depends what you're looking for. I'll break it down quickly. There will be some spoilers ahead, if that bothers anyone reading this thread. Curse of the Crimson Throne is a highly urban campaign, with an extremly visible bad guy from the get-go. Much of the...

I've always been of the opinion that it's the DM who makes the players think outside the box. The monsters are merely tools which allow him to do so. And the fact that one tool is now shaped slightly differently to how he remembers it shouldn't preclude him from using some of the many other...

A lot of the comments in this thread are starting to come off as needlessly adversarial. Frankly, a lot of the pro wisdom drain allip are starting to come across like 'Well, obviously anyone who prefers Wisdom damage can't handle a real encounter with real consequences.' I half expect someone to...

I think the question is slightly too simple, to be honest. The groups I've played with have never been overshadowed by hyper-competent NPCs, but we've never *met* hypercompetent NPCs. Of course we've encountered people above our power level, people who are more capable that us in certain areas...

Ordinarily, you would be correct, but the Swift Hunter feat explicitly allows skirmish damage to be applied to your favoured enemies, even if they would normally be immune to it.

I'm currently running two games, and here's the class breakdown for them. Game 1 (War of the Burning Sky) Battle Sorcerer 5 Warblade 5 Warmage 5 Cleric 5 Rogue 4/Beguiler 1 There's almost no multiclassing going on, and for my groups, it's startlingly straightforward. Only the Rogue's even...

Yep! But I should probably edit 'blessing of the aquiline heart' into his Special Qualities and copy the section there for clarity. :) He was surprisingly painless to build, considering the levels involved. I can't even remember how I did skills, considering his Int score rises with age, but...

A simple post, this one. Having seen the suggested levels for Drakus Coaltongue, but no full stats, I decided to have a crack at the man himself. I *think* I got everything right, but it's so hard to tell at epic. I hope that nobody minds me posting this, and I hope it may be of use. Drakus...

Ah, my bad. My intent was to have fully directed spells (provided those spells have a Duration of Concentration), rather than just concentration. And I did originally have it as a 7th level spell, but thought it was too strong. However, that was back when I had it granting up to three extra...

Well, bear in mind that if you take 6 Wisdom damage, it does allow you to concentrate on *two* spells in addition to taking your full round of actions. That's 3 fully directed Crushing Hands, if you don't want to cast any other spells. If you still think it's costly at that point, I think that's...

Exactly what it says on the tin. I just conceived of a new spell, and threw it together. This *isn't* a painstakingly crafted, carefully considered work of many hours - just a few minutes of thinking. My problem is that I'm totally drawing a blank on balancing it; I just look at it and my brain...

The text says that when you (the ranger) hits an enemy with an attack - either melee or ranged - you count as flanking the opponent for adjudicating the next attack made by an ally. It goes on to say that for example, this could allow your rogue ally to sneak attack with a melee attack. This...

Just earlier this evening I deliberately provoked multiple attacks of opportunity on separate occasions. I'm playing a Crusader, and it's the first session. I have in two different combats now moved so as to get as many opponents in my threatened area as possible so that they suffer the effects...

A friend of mine's going to be starting up a D&D game soon, and I'm looking for a fun class to play. The game in question should hopefully be a strongly roleplayed game with bursts of extreme violence. I'm feeling in the mood for a front-line type (read: Full BAB), but was shrugging through most...

Any statistics on that magic sword of the Marshal's, Lazybones? Or would that, again, reveal more than you'd like at this time? Curiously, Synch.

Another fan here. You know, I didn't expect that potion to be what it was, in the end; I was wondering if the old marshall had some secret addiction the others weren't aware of. As always, great work, Lazybones! I can already see the usual strong characterization coming through in this new story...

Davian Immersmere Davian grins a little as the bartering flicks back and forth, offering nothing to the discussion. His eyes flit around the carriage in an almost aimless fashion, noting the contents of the conveyance. 'Well, you're a coy one, sir Arilleus. What darks do you keep so close, I...

Lightspeed, 3/4, 0S/0L 'I'm guessing that the 'go and get some sleep' order may have to wait until the adrenaline's burnt off..but what the heck's all that about?' Chris ambles over and sticks his head out the door, looking up and down the corridor for the source of Caldwell's ire. He waits...

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 1?/2 Gabe just stood there as the men attacked, trying to think of something to do that didn't involve the use of his mutant powers, but his mind was a blank. Then he saw Eleyna's powers push back mustache-man, but not put him down. 'A gun..and something else? Alright...
