As with others above, make a decision as soon as possible after I've finished my go. Have a plan and a couple of backup plans. Plan B because "no plan survives contact with the enemy". Plan C because "no plan survives contact with your allies". Then think of running away because "no plan...

Unless the power has something along the lines of "The first time you would be hit by a melee attack" you have control over when you get to use the power. So without that clause, the BBEG should wait until the rogue tries to hit him.

While I do agree that Evasion only covers the HP damage by RAW, I don't think that it is unbalanced to also prevent the other effects. Try it and see (just in case there is a hidden outcome we haven't thought of).

While confrontational (and probably not a valid argument anyway;)): If being used as a bow doesn't activate AoO because it is also a staff, then when used as a staff it is also a bow so it does activate AoO at this time. Really, unless the description of the bow-staff says it negates the AoO...

My problems for doing this would be: Aren't arrows destroyed when they hit(in this case a wall)? Strength of arrow itself How strong the arrow grip on the wall is. I would ask the same things for harpooning plus why would the guy harpooned just remove/break the arrow or rope? Now, if an...

It would not be a deal breaker for me, although everything else being equal I'll take ease of use over referencing other books. There is one slight advantage to having references to MM1. Given that it is very likely the DM will at least have access to a MM1, more space can be devoted to the...

I have vague memories of Arms and Equipment guide (3.0?) having something along those lines. Enworld may have had a 3rd party whip book;) as a downloadable pdf.

Drawing and putting away are not always considered the same (quick draw feat for example does not allow [or at least does not SAY, there is a thread about it somewhere] a free action to sheath). Non-ammunition usually has the same action to pull out as return but that isn't exactly the case...

Missed the poll, :( While the spike chain does give a lot of options I'm not a fan of it (maybe because of the greater "boost" between it and other exotic weapons) Tried the longaxe and really enjoyed it. Required some tactical thinking about whether to go toe to toe or stand back a bit...

If you are worried about the players metagaming but still have them roll, just enforce "you continue doing what you were doing before the roll was needed" As a group we've used this. For other (i.e. Disable Device) "tell me what you will do if you a) succeed, b) fail, or c) iffy result. My...

I've used a sheet of paper filled with d20 rolls and just work my way through. If possible I'll have the Hide rolls marked so it is a strait check. If not then I'll use the sheet for that as well.

Another problem (if not strictly answering the OP) with returning flurry weapon: Isn't there a clause about needing a hand free to catch the returning weapon? So unless your flurry = 2, or you have >2 arms/catching appendages, things will start gathering at your feat requiring you to pick...

This would be a place I'd start. Depending open the amount of disdain help may become an option for the cult. If they are the type the PCs can try to convince the cult that cult members (theirs or similar) are being made into permanent undead and use that as leverage. It could even be true. ;)...

Generally you can consider it your move action using the mount's speed, i.e. the two are not usually considered separate entities. A rider gets to use it's mount's movement but can only do a standard action if move >5'. I'm not aware of a feat that allows you a full attack (although some mount...

So what do you make of the underlined part? The "the" you are referencing is talking about a specific example yes, but being an example implies it is not the only way of using a weapon improperly but one of a number. Another example I could think of is not having proficiency in the weapon...

DM call really as it does not say either way. It is a reasonable reading of the text I Notice that the Loadstone/Stone of Weight allows someone to throw the item away and not haunt the individual. This implies it could affect someone else rather then not being cursed at all, otherwise, it...

Maybe have the save after every (short or extended) rest rather than every room (assuming you don't plan on having a fight every room). That way you could also imply that it is the place's denizens or exertion causing the sickness. You could tie the type of denizen to the disease as well. I...

You mean like the Light spell? Everburning torches?

I wonder if they consider the scales, dragonkin and DR as powers, and if so, how do you refrain from using them You could fulfill the Geas with (non-lethally) attacking your party members when they attack someone. Actually, considering the high level wizard just harmed you (invaded personal...
