Leave it to the 'Smurf to find the one freaking action that provokes an AoO.

I don't have my MotW on me, but isn't using a whip considered attacking with a ranged weapon? It becomes useless in face-to-face melee combat, since the enemies would get AoO's every time he attacked. Isn't that enough?

Hmmm.... and what if it was Lawful or Chaotic to boot? It's not fair that you don't have to turn those ones on. :)

Looks like bad dming to me, but not for the reason you're listing (although that one is good enough). How fun is a campaign where you keep losing your character and making a new one? How can you get attached to the story? How can you get attached to your character? How can you properly flesh...

Nah, you're nuts, or you need to make a better altar to the dice Gods. I have an NPC goblin barbarian who has been in my campaign since level 1 (they're now level 21!). I think for a majority of his hit-dice I've rolled 10, 11, or 12. With a 16 constitution, he has around 300 hit points at...

Should I move this post to House Rules? :D Not that I have the jurisdiction to do so. And secondly, why do you hate it with a "burning passion?" Nothing is ever a sure thing in life.

No, I think he had it when he decided the information to give out. The knowledge skill represents studies and maybe just heresay and gossip the character has picked up over the ages. When he runs into a creature, he thinks a moment to see if he picked up anything about it in the past...

Well, I don't know which way the argument would go. IMC, I'd say you get the bonuses of the weapon when using the violent thrust. For the same reason that I'd allow the bonuses to attack if you threw your scimitar at some dude across the room. I see this maneuver pulled all the time in...

Don't take this the wrong way, I'm just providing more argument: A throwing axe needs to hit on a "certain plane" as well, doesn't it?

Heh... no, I used to. You could try altavista.com translator. I think it spits out the hiragana, however, so if you can't read that then you'll be out of luck. But if you want to copy the symbols and put them up on this website, I might be able to help you out. Other than that, just google...

Wow, I can't belive I know a good one that nobody else listed. It's called Fading Suns. Maybe some of you know about it and didn't think it was worth listing. If that's the case, please don't flame me too bad. I actually used a lot of the ideas from Fading Suns, a futuristic/Medieval...

Oh, and another strange thing to note: whenever I have to think of a person's name on the fly; a player wants to talk to a local commoner or the name of a barkeep I hadn't really thought about, the name always seems to start with "G" or "J" sound. Strange little habit I finally noticed about...

Two of my most memorable NPCs in my campaign were named while I was taking Japanese in college. My players still don't know that their best friends' names, Senman and Damarè, actually mean "One hundred thousand" and "Shut up" respectively.

Honestly; I haven't posted here in more than 18 months... and you're STILL talking about this damn handbook you've been compiling. Jebus.

In 3.0, druids can't use prohibited weapons, or they lose their powers. In 3.5, it only says they lose their powers for wearing prohibited armor and shields. Is this an error? Thanks.

Another quick question: under their ability to Alter Self into drow form only, it doesn't say a times per day or anything; rather, it says it is used as the spell alter self, caster level being the AA level. So if he was 7th level, would he get to use it for 70 minutes a day? That's how I...

I have never actually used it as a DM. How does it work? How many people can it effect? All it says is like Creatures, no two of which can be more than 5 feet apart. So does that mean if there is an army, perse, with 500 orcs, and as long as they don't go outside the range of the spell...

I already said that wizards most likely won't be allowed. In addition I will have to fight a new opponent each round of the tournament, so they will be differing classes/alignments/et cetera each time. [/b]You can post up what you like. I'll look it over to be sure. I have already made a 20...

I am.

Maybe you're right. The thing is, his intimidate and bluff were the same levels, so frankly, it wouldn't have mattered.
