    Feinting in Combat

    I do like the idea of fainting in combat, too. But in which situation will it pay off for a non-rogue character? Sacrificing a standard-action should be worth at least a +5 or +6 on the one next attack, and even this does not seem to be that good. And you have to have an opponent with a +6 dex...

    Feinting in Combat

    Just to be sure about feinting itself: Don't you sacrifice an attack for the faint? Isn't thus fainting pretty useless unless fighting against verydexterous foes (or for rogues)?

    Hypnotize & Suggestion Spell

    Thanks a lot. (And I have to take a look into my GM's DMG.)

    Hypnotize & Suggestion Spell

    Okay, I see the difference. ;) So if I want a guard to let me into the city hall I can cast a Suggestion spell on him saying 'You really should let this friendly looking Bard pass through. Perhaps he can give some of the people inside a better mood with his music.' If he fails his Saving throw...

    Hypnotize & Suggestion Spell

    The description of the Hypnotize spell says that you can give a Suggestion? Does that mean:[list=1]You can cast a Suggestion spell on the subject? But can't you cast a Suggestion spell anyway? Does the Suggestion spell require the subject to be hypnotized first? You can cast a Suggestion spell...

    Ignoring a Geas

    The description in Lesser Geas appears to me clearly as 'no choice, one has to attempt to complete the task'. It's still something different than Dominate Person, since the caster cannot control the geased creature during his attempts to complete the task anymore. It just would seem very odd to...

    Calculation for the reviews page

    Why is noone (besides number 1) really interesed in the tennis world ranking? Because noone can follow the formulas to calculate it. I think it would not make the ranking tables very interesting, if they are sorted according to numbers, and nobody can follow the calculation system. I'd say...

    How does Bardic Music work?

    IDNHMBRN, but I cannot remember having read this. Is that written in the PHB? Maybe I've just missed that. And does it also apply to playing an instrument. Actually this seems a little short for reciting or beating a drum. So if a bard says, he does intend to play inspire courage or countersong...

    How does Bardic Music work?

    Thanks a lot for your answers, Cullain. So you would allow a bard to play for 5 hours without a break. So also fascinate a person for hours, even if this person needs a bathroom :D What requiring to talk to a person. Would that require ending bardic music? Well, playing a masterwork instrument...

    Calculation for the reviews page

    If I understand your intention correctly, Morrus, you don't want to see a product with just 3 reviews of 5 topping a list, where the next in line has an average of 4,5 with 10 reviews. But on the other hand you do want to see a product with 6 perfect scores in a list where the top has an average...

    How does Bardic Music work?

    I have some technical questions about bardic music. Does anyone have more experience with this than I do? General: How long can a bard use a single use of bardic music? Can he e.g. keep on reciting a countersong (or inspire courage) for 5 hours while the party is travelling through a dangerous...

    Turn of post count?

    New idea: Just don't display the count of the top 20 posters. Keep it for all others. :D

    How do you pronounce 'EN World'?

    I always said En-world, too. :o But it's faster. And b.t.w.: Ee-En-world sounds to me like the recording studio of Jethro Tull. :p

    Registration and Login

    I really like the new boards, but... I'm not reading messageboard since very long, so two minor things I've had problems with: (1) I read the registration instructions, but somehow missed the point that one cannot post unless having 'answered' the verification email. Maybe I've just missed that...
