It's come in handy a few times when I've used it with a Halfling's thrown-weapon bonus. It might also be nice for a fighter type, who gets lots of feats. Otherwise, it doesn't seem all that useful to me. But I do agree with the fun factor! :) -AK

But then you wouldn't be able to tell your d4 from your d100, and would fail a LOT of percent checks. You could put BOTH numbers on each face of the die, in different colors... then you could use your d100 for d4 OR d%. Heck, let's get a great big d100... put the numbers 1 thru 4 on all the...

Re: Quick question GMW+3 cast on a +2 Flaming Sword would make it a +3 Flaming Sword. Flaming is not an enhancement bonus on attack/dam rolls. -AK

Shard - Thanks for coming to my defense. Pendragon - No sweat. It's a long list, I don't figure everyone made it to the bottom. :o Lucius - The level increase imposed by the feat was already mentioned in not-Sean's post, the second in this thread. Also, instead of filling high-level spell...

Dan... are you listening, Dan the Pie-man? Corwin wants to punish WOTC Customer Service. TAKE AWAY THEIR COOKIE! Why am I the only one who loses their cookie? It ain't fair. -AK

Dag nab it, Artoomis! That's how this goshawful thread got started! You're feeding the trolls, y'know. Dan... take away his cookie. -AK

From the SRD... There ya go. -AK

Aww, man. I gave myself a headache and I lost my cookie. :( It's a cruel world.

It's pronounced differently, too. Noun: AF-fect. Verb: af-FECT Dan's right. If you ain't talkin' psychology, "affect" is a verb. Just to confuse the issue... "effect" can be a verb, too. E.g., "to effect a change...". Soooo... The effects of your attempts to effect the proper use of...

That's not a rule, though. Use the appropriate basis for the circumstances, depending on whether the movement is attempted in- or out-of-combat. Once again, you're equating "normal speed" with "walking movement". This does indeed incur inconsistencies. If you equate "normal speed" with a...

The word "walk" is also NOT in the "move silently" skill description! We have a PHB quote, "Characters generally don't walk in combat: they hustle or run". Yet you are absolutely resolute in your insistance that "normal speed", even in combat, means walking, while this quote is obviously...

Already answered, several times. "Movement and Distance" table, SRD and PHB. Someone whose normal speed is 30 ft can walk/hustle/run for 30/60/120 feet per round (there's your "time involved"... one round). If this person is restricted to half their normal speed, which would be 15 ft, see the...

Well, okay, speed is the absolute value of displacement per unit of time. Real-world physics will get you in trouble every time. The move-silently penalty refers to a players speed. This is a statistic on the character sheet. For this discussion, we've been using an example speed of 30 feet. A...

This can be easily reconciled by noting that the move silently skill restricts SPEED and not MOVEMENT. "Sneaking" (moving silently) is done during a characters movement, be it walking or jogging. You're still confusing movement with speed. The math works fine... if you halve the speed. My...

Your "normal" speed is your base speed. Moving at your "normal" speed allows you to walk/hustle/run for 30/60/120 feet per round. Moving at half your "normal" speed allows you to walk/hustle/run for 15/30/60 feet per round. Moving silently without penalty allows you to move at half your...

This restriction is applicable to the characters' speed. Not their walking distance, not their hustling distance, not running distance... their speed. If a character's base ("normal") speed is 30 feet, moving silently at no penalty reduces his speed to 15 feet. From the infamous Movement...

Nope. There's rules for wands, and rules for magic weapons, and they're different rules. The item in question is a spell storing weapon. Of course not. The ITEM was created as a wand, so you apply the rules for the spell level stored in a wand. If you decide to craft your want into a magic...

The way I see it... you move silently at half-speed for the movement portion of your round. Then you move silently at half-speed again for the action portion of your round. I don't see anything wrong with allowing that. -AK

Sounds to me like a ranged trip attack, in the manner of a whip. I'd assess a -4 for non-profficiency... maybe offset some of the penalty with "Use Rope" skill, if appropriate. Or increase the penalty in accordance with the victim's "Escape Artist" skill? If the trip succeeds, then a grapple...
