Given that he is quite stealthy in wilderness situations right from the beginning, how about Ranger instead of Bbn/Rog? Also, he is quite composed and in control of himself for a northlander - rage ability seems inappropriate to me.

Wow, all those long campaigns! I don't think any of my "campaigns" (seems like I have to put quotes around it, now:( ) lasted for longer than 20 sessions. If I didn't manage a TPK, it was either cancelled because of DM burnout, put on hold to try something else (and never resurrected), or the...

The time requirement for Sense Motive is somewhat ambigiously given for as "Trying to gain information..." I'd say this refers to an active attempt like getting a hunch or sensing enchantment. As an opposed roll to Bluff, it is simply resolved as soon as the Bluff check is made - or the success...

There are certain game terms which no publisher may change if they want to use the d20 license. This includes ability scores, AC, alignments, etc. Mind you, AFAIK you can ignore those mechanics and substitute something else (e.g. a class based Defense stat instead of AC), but you may not totally...

Yes, that way lies madness! Under no circumstances should you question the D&D economic "model";)

There already is a d7 (the name of the manufacturer eludes me), but the others would be nice to have as well;) Let's hope 4e includes all of them, so we have the "d1-d20 System"...

Thanks for posting the pictures! Let's hope this convinces more ENWorlders to meet up next year. For me, it was the first time visit and I think it was really worth it:) BTW, I told Benni about the fate of his dwarf (now ex-dwarf) character.

Yup, that's his nick. And who is nonresonance? I didn't realize one of the other guys does post at ENWorld, too. With pictures, I hope:D Yay!

Only that it was useless and thus omitted from 3.5;) Of course, you can still delay to the end of the current round for exactly the same effect as refocus - but you should note that you don't go earlier but actually later in this manner.

Both are in effect, they are just not stacking. If you have two non-stackable effects granting you 5 temporary hp, the loss of 1 hp has to reduce both spells to 4 hp because the point you lost was granted to you by both/either of them. Treating it any different would mean that the spell effects...

It is only a standard action for an admin to ban you if you try to intimidate him. Although I think Morrus can do that as a free action...

Tricky question! I would look at it the following way: the damage you take is not applied against each spell, but against a common temporary hp "buffer" you have. If you have multiple spells in effect and the size of the buffer drops below the level granted by any of them, *all* these spells...

Same here. Once you realize that there is no "common" combat round that has any meaning, only people acting in a certain order over an over again, it makes perfect sense. The only time when a high initiative roll matters is in the first round (or surprise round).

And best of all, no bickering about a) which actions can and cannot be declared in advance, or how specific you can/must be b) what you can change abou your declared actions once it is your turn to actually act and everything has gone FUBAR The cyclic initiative system ranks among the major...

Crawling explicitly provokes an AoO, so it doesn't really matter. You couldn't "withdraw" with full defense in 3.0 either. Full defense is/was a standard action and if you perform a standard action AND move out of a threatened area, you suffer an AoO. In fact, withdrawing works exactly the...

I still allow a 5' step to be made lying down, so being prone is only that deadly if your opponent has reach or several enemies gang up on you.

If r is your inflation rate, you have to divide the number at the end of the period by (1+r) to get rid of inflation. For a n-period model, simply divide by (1+r)^n. Example: Inflation is 6%, so r = 0.06 and you have to divide by 1.06, which works out to multiplying by approx 0.943. So your...

This depends on how you handle replenishing uses per day of any ability. 3.0 was vague on that issue, and I don't recall 3.5 being more precise. In my game, characters recover their uses per day once per day after they have rested (unlike spells, no preparation is required). Thus, I would not...

Bump! And I'll try to meet you all on Friday. AMIGO booth, right?

There seems to be a browser problem: I clicked on rate and it just registered as a 0 without giving me the option to select a rating :o
