If everyone is standing around, not doing anything except waiting for the door-kicker, it makes sense to me that he goes first. As the kicker, he'll know before anyone else when that door is open, and able to react first. Of course, as already mentioned, opening the door is move-equivalent, so...

Well... the nutcase could wear 'em, but since they both provide armor bonuses, that particular benefit wouldn't stack. -AK

He didn't say "armor bonus", he said "armor enhancement". Not the same thing. All of the items you mentioned are not armor, and are ineligible for armor enhancement bonuses. -AK

I would like to suggest that you might feel more at-home in the "House Rules" forum, as this forum ("D&D Rules") is intended for discussion of rules. :p -AK

Irrelevant. You're confusing "clothing" with "robes". The RotAM fits in the robe slot, which has nothing to do clothing (which has no slot). -AK

If it's in the armor slot, it's armor, and it's going to interfere with monk abilities, wizardly spellcasting, duelist abilities, etc. -AK

Was your party aware that the room was occupied? If so, then initiative started before the numbers were rolled. (Which isn't a problem; that happens sometimes to keep from giving things away. The DM just waits to ask for the rolls until they're actually needed.) If you were at the door, then...

There are two schools of thought on this one. The rules-lawyer version: the disc of force provided by Shield is still hovering between the grapplers, and intercepting attacks, even during an on-going grapple. It just moves around the parts where the grapplers are joined. There is nothing in the...

Hmmm... that has a possibility. Take one level of sorcerer, take a raven as your familiar, and translator. Could work, I think. -AK

Puts some points into Perform(Mime)? Write in dirt with claws? Sign language? Set up signals with party? "Rrrrr!" -> "Kill!" "Aaagh!" -> "Help me!" "Eeee!" -> "Run away!" "Oooo!" -> "Look what I found!" That's all pretty cheesy, tho. -AK

I think that's called a "trident". :D

If I remember that finding correctly, TWF + RShot doesn't stack in a way to allow two extra attacks. If you have both feats, you can make your full attack progression with your primary hand, and then take one extra attack, either melee or ranged. The monk's flurry would spend the allowed...

Looks like all of you have a high-level Defect Magic running. :rolleyes: -AK

Alternatively, could one put multiple metals into a single blade? Either an alloy, or perhaps winding a wire of silver, a wire of adamantine, etc. around an iron strip before it's forged into a blade? Is this ploy addressed in the 3.5 rules? (Apologies if this has already been discussed. I've...

For opposed checks, we treat it much like any other action requiring a check. The actor (in this case, the one trying to grapple) needs a roll that meets or beats a difficulty class. In this case, the DC is set by the defender's (the wizard's) opposed grapple check. This means that, IMC, a...

It's funny how people are so much more accepting of the stacking of multipliers that halve your movement, than they are of stacking multipliers that double your movement. (Don't mind me. Just throwing rocks at a beehive.) -AK

What?! Movement multipliers that stack?! Who ever heard of such a thing! But if you cast Slow on the party, when they're wearing Boots of Striding and Springing on the wrong feet, while they're entangled, blind, and hiding in a sleet storm... :eek: Nevermind. Nothing good can come of this...

Your position that the effects of the boots and spell are identical? Of course I did. Competence vs. enhancement bonuses... difference in jump distance calculations... items not identical. Nah... more like keen weapons stacking with improved critical. Restricting observation to a single facet...

A creative, yet entirely inaccurate interpretation of my assertion that you are indeed smart. I freely admit that many smart people disagree with me, regularly. :) Additionally, I deny being uncivil. Few people would take umbrage at being called "smart". You seek to prove your point by...

:mad: MUST... NOT... FLAME... MUST... CONTROL... IMPULSES... MERCY... IS... GOOD... MUST... NOT... FLAME... Argh! -AK
