Actually this may depend much on the situation. Some possible different situations and what I would use: 1. The PC wants to sell a beautiful scroll with some ballad on it (the ballad itself is not that important) --> some kind of craft 2. The PC wants to write a ballad with seems as if it was...

How much does damage from one ranged attack increase with Ranger level, anyway? Unless it comes to magic weapons or other fancy stuff, damage does not increase (much) with level (only against the favored enemies). So you also play the variant, that a Ranger may take archer feats instead of...

Hmmm, my DM did not post so far. Curious... Well, he gives us players XP with the following system: Each session: 0 to 10 points, given by the following table. (I) taking part 1 (II) achievement 0 ___ no achievement 1 ___ a minor success or a moderate failure 2 ___ a moderate success or an...

Vasyl Minstrel Lots of fun to play!

Wow, I missed that. Must have happend during my 10 months in Berkeley :) :) (so I know how much a pint is - at least Haegen Dasz, hmmm) What I said: Gaussian units rule!

IHMO everything should be given in Gaussian units. The best system when dealing with 'modern' stuff. ;) At the moment, I do not know which incidence you mention here. I'm curious...

Hmm, version 4.77 can really not be called 'antique'. For me it's the same problem, while it has to be pointed out that the old version of the reviews pages ran perfectly on the same Netscape version. I do perfectly understand if you say that you cannot check if your websites run on Netscape...

This becomes interesting, if someone switches sides in the middle of a battle (perhaps because of Dominate Person). But aside from this I agree that the whole party is inspired by inspire courage. Of course (IMHO) a bard can inspire competence in himself - as long as it makes sense (some open...

But if you do share a common language, you could certainly give the order: "Tell me everything about you/your spells/etc.!" Of course outside of combat, but Dominate Person lasts long enough. Well, even in combat this may be partially possible. I intend to do so, too (seriously ;)) But this...

If a PC casts Dominate Person successfully on an NPC enemy sorcerer, how do you play this? - Can the player (as long as he can keep control) play two characters now or is the control weaker (if yes, in which instances)? - What does the player get to know about the NPC? Everything? His current...

Sorry, I must have remembered that totally wrong. Forget my previous post. Even if your DM allows you to just sing to use the fascinate and suggestion abilities, there is one major point why the Suggestion spell should be taken: The fascinate ability cannot be used in combat (or hardly ever...

Your charisma modifier is +4 (maybe even +5 in the future). So the saving throw for the Suggestion spell is 16. If you take Spell Focus (enchantment), it's even 18. The bardic music Suggestion's saving throw has a DC of just 13 (and there's a saing throw for the Fascinate ability, too). That's a...

I always found the Enchantment spells pretty nice for a Bard. Hold Person and Suggestion are very nice, especially with Spell Focus (Enchantment). Especially Suggestion is a very interesting spell from a role playing point of view, very useful in non-combat situations like Charm Person and...

Okay, that makes sense. So the bonus applies nearly always, doesn't it, unless the disguised character is alone in the bathroom. From the character's point of view: 'Of course I always try to act in character, this is why I disguised!' Or do you interpret this in a stricter way? <EDIT> Typos...

Some questions to all who have already rollplayed with the Disguise skill: 1. How many Disguise checks are made? The PHB says: 'Make one Disguise check even if several people make Spot checks.' So there is one and only one check - rolled by the GM - which determines how good the disguise you...

Even if there were two other feats to give a third and a fourth +4 increase, I'd not say it's unbalanced. You can increase the probability to be first from 20% to 70% (e.g.) for the cost of several feats. You could really use these feats more useful (Great Cleave for a fighter, Spell Focus &...

Isn't the fact that larger creatures are more powerful in a grapple already represented in the fact that they normally have a higher strength? What factor does the size bonus represent? The larger creature's mass?

Isn't the synergy bonus that Disguise gives on Bluff a little odd? 'What, you don't believe me? Perhaps you believe me if I wear this moustache?'

Well, if you hit (instead of faint), tumble and start to sing you may get more. The faint itself is still trading an attack vs. a bonus of the opponents dex-bonus. So IMHO not really useful. But now that I think about it: Is there any concept (perhaps in class books) of fainting to escape from...

But you cannot attack in the same round, unless you are hasted, can you? Tumble = Move, Feint = Standard Action. So you sacrificy your attack(s) for this round. Tumbling and flanking is possible anyway.
