Wait for this product: http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ps/20070209a and get a truedeath crystal.

Interesting. The Large(tall) diagram is even somewhat inconsistent with the logic that Large creatures with reach weapons go by the diagonal spaces rule, since if reach weapons go by the rules for diagonal spaces the spaces I mark "O" here should both be threatened by a reach weapon and a...

Why does this apply to Large and larger creatures with reach weapons, but not to Large and smaller creatures with non-reach weapons? Can you give me a rulebook page?

Sorry, but the Spiked Chain - in my opinion the most broken weapon in the PHB, but that's a different discussion - is already finesseable and has reach. I think finessing all weapons with the use of an extra, precious feat on top of Weapon Finesse isn't a bad idea at all. It might even be a bit...

Magic... or a ride skill check.

I know this. But I also know that the rules state you need a hand free for spellcasting. The rules say the buckler is strapped to the forearm. So I don't see how the rules say it's impossible to cast spells with the hand attached to the arm the buckler is strapped to. Other people disagree...

Yeah. I agree. And I agree. I already conceded the point, what more do you want?

A good point. However, the vast majority of those would be at lower than maximum attack bonus. The first (or, in the case of Rapid Shot, the first two) attack is the most effective one. I'll concede the point to you, though, with an argument of my own. A pixie rogue can get an infinite number...

Yeah, I noted that. With "observe target" reduced to a move action, you would get 15 sneak attacks on a heavily armored opponent who's running toward you if you are placed so that your target can't possibly see you, or you have enough Hide so you can take the -20 and not be observed. If you also...

Yeah, for a PC, I can see that. I'm not convinced that the "observe target" time should be reduced, though... this is a full SA class and as such its sneack attacks pack a punch. If fighting a melee combatant in open terrain, a sneak attack per round for the time required for the melee combatant...

I would rule that to not have the effect end, the two creatures (caster and companion) need to be on adjacent initiative counts (delaying can do this) and move by the same route to the same square. The moment the second creature deviates from the path of the first creature (for example by taking...

But in combat the shadow sniper would still get her ranged sneak attack without observation as long as it's within 30 feet, right? So she'd play much as a standard ranged rogue/shadowdancer once she's in close combat. I don't see a need to reduce the study time.

Which means that there aren't any penalties for this, per the rules. I'm extrapolating from the rules, which is different from pure speculation in that I've used actual argument for each step in the process. It's a pity quotes are all italicised so italic emphasis is not preserved. Let me do...

Okay, if you say so. True, but why skip over the bit where I liken this to fast moving monsters? A Weapon Finesse user is still penalised for a low strength score. And attacking with weapon finesse is still precise, forceful movement. That you use your dexterity for more precise placement of...

This is a false question, like "Have you stopped beating your wife?", because it equates armwaving used to hit someone over the head with a piece of metal with armwaving used to cast a spell. It isn't a given that you use the same force and speed to do these completely different things. Look at...

The arcane spell failure rate applies also to spells cast with the other hand.

Hasted ghostformed mage moves out of wall. Hasted ghostformed mage casts spell. Hasted ghostformed mage moves into wall and far away for his next appearance. And he didn't even have to spend a feat on it.

Yet it allows movements precise enough to aim a bow or crossbow without penalty. It only penalizes "power moves" - not precision moves.

*Even if* they both trust the other completely to resist should they want it, it would be in both their best interests to be hasted. Something in the vicinity is trying to make them kill each other, after all. This means that the surviving monster will probably have to fight something else. The...

Presenting another's argument as an "opinion" and your own as a "fact"... I find this rude and uncalled-for.
