    Mechanical justifcation for fighting with one hand?

    Or you could buy one of those "fully 30%" of magic weapons that shine in the dark. None of the races with darkvision ever buy them...

    (Water & cover) Am I reading this right?

    Yes, but spears don't. Saying "Even high powered rifles can't (...)" doesn't mean "No medieval weapons can (...)".

    Cleave on an AoO?

    In this model, it isn't "a second swing against A after he has made a swing against B and dropped him with an AOO". It's a "continuation of the same swing that dropped B". You might as well ask why he's able to take a second swing at all. It creates a lapse in A's defenses because at the...

    Any DM's not allowing Spiked Chains?

    Oh, plus it's finesseable and has a bonus to disarm checks. These are both things that make it better than the Guisarme.

    pinpointing invisible opponents

    Indeed not, because that's not correct usage of "affect". "Effect" would be more correct, or "doesn't affect him" would also be correct. That aside, I think any effect it has upon the target is indirect - you know what the target is thinking and so you can act to counter it - You gain...

    [Bo9S] Notes on swordsage in play

    Yes. In order to come up with an odd number, you must multiply an odd number with an odd number, or a non-whole number with an even number. Since we're talking about a multiple of 2 for the attack, an odd-numbered result indicates that they roll X number of dice instead of just rolling dice and...

    D&D 4E What Rules Do You Want to See in 4E?

    As long as we're talking 4E we could change the way saving throws stack, too. Count levels in classes that have "Good" fort save. Look up the "Good" fort save for a character of that level. Count levels in classes that have "Poor" fort save. Look up the "Poor" fort save for a character of that...

    Question on holy and unholy damage

    The vaule of it is that when you are chiefly fighting evil creatures: - The bonus damage goes against the same resistance as the normal damage. Thus, the enemy only gets use out of one resistance (DR in this case). - The bonus damage is the very thing that makes DR unusable: Many evil...

    Casting Defensively: Provoke AoO with Ranged Spells

    Only if the defender is a monk or has a spiked chain or otherwise threatens both at reach and adjacent. ;)

    Casting Orb Spells into Anti-Magic Fields

    Not because they are Conjuration spells, but because they bear the [Creation] designator. A summoned creature is suppressed by an antimagic field, but an instantaneously created glob of acid is not.

    Casting Defensively: Provoke AoO with Ranged Spells

    Just to point out that this is erroneous, too. If a character has reach and Hold the Line and is charged by another character with a non-reach weapon, the defending character gets two AoOs. One for movement out of a threatened square, and one for being charged. Charging is one action that...

    Question on holy and unholy damage

    No, it doesn't. Half its damage "results directly from divine power". It doesn't say this divine damage is of type "Holy".

    FAVORED SOUL: Uh, no Knowledge (religion)???

    Huh... wow, you're right. I guess they didn't get the answer they were looking for in that thread, so they started a new one. Or something.

    Question on holy and unholy damage

    Well, you may assume that the Holy weapon enhancment introduces an entirely new damage type that isn't described anywhere else if you want to - it's your game. However, note that it changes game balance if you allow this damage to go through DR of all evil creatures regardless of whether they...

    Need a quick answer: damaging items, energy damage, and repairing magic weapons

    1. No, hardness works against energy types. See also rules for damaging objects where some energy types are halved before being applied against hardness. 2. I don't know.

    help on a level 6 gestalt

    How about a Scout // Warblade, and get that White Raven stance that lets you take two 5' steps? That'd let you full attack with skirmish damage.

    Question on holy and unholy damage

    It doesn't say this is damage type: Holy. I would assume it is the same damage type that the weapon otherwise deals.

    Which means that a monk who has this feat can do this and flurry, right?
