Great....more contradictions from WotC? Check out the newest Powerplay in Dragon (The Worldbuilding issue). It implies to me that TWF and Ambi apply to ranged weapons....which would mean that Rapid Shot should stack. I would have brought this up earlier, but I just read the issue last night.

It is not obvious to me that they intended TWF to apply only to melee weapons. It doesn't make any sense to me that when a Fighter (with TWF and Ambi) is fighting with a longsword and a dagger in his off-hand he suffers a -2 to both attcks, but if in the middle of a combat he decides to throw...

Grrrr...I double checked this with the DnD FAQ and it appears that this is correct....but the only mention of it that I found in the fAQ was in the Weapon listing reiterating your point above. Why they couldn't mention it in the Two-Weapon Fighting listing I will never understand. And, with...

Reference please? Ummm...where are you getting that from? My PHB and the SRD say: When wearing light armor or no armor, a ranger can fight with two weapons as if he or she had the feats Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting. The ranger loses this special bonus when fighting in medium or heavy...

Does Rapid Shot stack with Crack of Fate and Crack of Doom? As far as I can tell it does......... I would then assume that using Crack of Doom and Rapid Shot would result in three additional attacks with all attacks (including normal ones granted by BAB) with a -6 penalty. And, that means...

FRCS? "Druids of Mielikki can use any of the standard armour or weapons that rangers normally use...without violating their spiritual oaths." This is a quote from the FRCS (Canadianized for extra flavour). It is essentially a WotC houserule for the Forgotten Realms. I think this is the best...

Another volunteer.... I'm willing to play one of the absentee iconics if their original "owners" don't show. Add me to the list!

My bad......or is it? OK, I just read through the section on awakened companions in MotW (p. 37), and it says that awakened companions count against your HD limit. This 100% contradicts what I was told by the Sage in Sept. 2000 when I asked this question. He said, in no uncertain terms...

Kinda. When the Awaken spell is cast, the animal becomes a magical beast and is therefore no longer subject to the Animal Friendship spell. The animal will (likely) still be friendly, but it cannot count against your HD limit for Animal Friendship. The only way to keep the magical beast as...

Ha ha! I'm Nelson, which comes as a complete surprise to me.

Another Ernie checking in! I'm also Ernie.

You're a Ranger, right? Kinda sucks for Rangers, though, since you can't use Two-Weapon Fighting with it. But, with the changes, it seems balanced.

I emailed the sage not long after 3E was released (Sept 2000?) regarding the awaken spell and he said that once a companion became awakened they were to be treated as any other NPC as per the Leadership Feat. Since they were now Magical Beasts, they no longer fell under the domain of Animal...

Air Domain? Hmmmm....Clerics with the Air Domain get Chain Lightning as their 6th level domain spell. I would think that many a kindly DM would allow this to be used to satisfy the pre-req. Or, create your own domain (for a Storm god, maybe?) that has Lightning Bolt on it's spell list. I...

w00t! **BoooHisssss**** Go back to the Land Which Must Not be Named, and take your little Colin, too! :D

Thanks! Thanks PC! It was just one of the factors that pooched the meet, though. Hopefully we'll have better luck the next time around. Interested in coming up to the Great White North? ;)

Nope, it had to be aborted. A combination of it being moved to Gamers seeking Gamers and probelms with the board caused most people to lose track of the thread. Plus, the proposed weekend just sucked for a lot of people. I'm going to try to get another one going, though. After hearing about...

The Face-to-Face game I'm in happens every Thursday, ~9 weeks out of 10. Most of us are in University (2 of us are Grad students), so once in a while school work causes problems. I'm in two email games, one has a response time of 2 days between each update, and the other is on (permanent?)...

Does your Single-classed Wizard attack Giants with his greatsword? I'm sorry, but I really don't understand this statement, and simliar statements made by other people who share your opinion......What kind of game do you play where Sorcerors and Wizards are front-line fighters? Single classed...

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost 4 years, and we've lived together for about half that.....in the whole time we've been together, we've never really done anything particularly special for Valentine's Day. We just both don't see the point. Hallmark et al shouldn't have to tell...
