Sorry, you stepped into a hot topic around here. I'll try to sum up the discussion briefly. If you are JUST using the core 3 books, it's a murky issue and technically would lean against allowing INA for monks. However, if you allow precident from WotC (in this case with precident being...

Sorry, it was the best terminology I could come up with at the time to define a 'slight' adjustment to the printed rules to clarify ambiguities or overcome obvious contradictions and sweeping, notable changes that are significantly different from the printed rules. As an example, deciding that...

Not to me, that's precisely what I had in mind when I created the poll. I think people just too umbrage with my use of the word casual. I tried to clarify it, but I don't think some people read my clarification and even those who did still may not have felt it matched their choice.

Sorry for any confusion, I guess in creating the poll I just considered RAW to be its very own category. If you add to it, then it's no longer RAW. (Kind of like, the whole rules, and nothing but the rules). I saw it as an oxymoron, so left it off. Again, sorry for any confusion.

My suggestion...keep your distinct personality, don't change to match the goals of the sword. If you can, work to find a middle ground of goals that both you and the sword agree on, then work towards furthering those goals. To me, concept is the most important thing. I want to know how my...

I guess I'm still baffled how people can still consider INA to not be allowed by the 'rules' ...since it's a recommended feat for monks in the PHB2 and clearly allowed in the FAQ. I will say this though. If I were a guessing man, I would guess that the developers who wrote the Monster Manual...

I edited the option to try to clarify it some.

I would define that (in this poll) as Casual Rules. Going with what you felt the intent or flavor of the rules are, instead of what's specifically written. And I am confident we have plenty of people here who stick specifically to the RAW, and in cases they think are 'insane' submit requests...

I use casual rules with house rules. I sometimes try to go with how I felt they wanted something to work, instead of how it's specifically written. Also, I blend in aspects of 3.0 that I felt were better than the changes made in 3.5 (a lot of spell durations are included in this for the buff...

Some recent threads have made me curious how other people play. So I thought I'd post a poll. First of all, let me please make it clear that I am NOT at all intending this thread to be critical of any particular style of play. I'm very much of the 'its your game, play the way you want'...

What's amusing to me is that while I'll free go toe to toe with someone regarding the semantics of the rules HERE....in my own games, this is NEVER an issue. It takes 'maybe' 30 seconds (usually less) to decide how to rule something. Once that's decided everyone moves on, there's not an issue...

My confusion came from the specific reference to Psion. I see now that KarinsDad was referring to 'Psion' the class...I was referring to Psion in the general sense as a user of Psionics. I would say that's likely my fault, because Psionics aren't my strongsuit by any means. If you say...

As nice as the concept of scouting is...in practice it 'usually' will result in the eventual death of your scout. Therefore, in D&D my groups generally bypass scouting in favor of "Kick down the door, spit on the floor." It works...

In regards to my post, I never was trying to imply that he was out of line or insulting, I just thought the original post may have been misread, or I was reading more into it than others.

From the title of the thread and the text of the first post, I thought it was clear that the OP is looking for assistance with psionic powers.

I think you're over analyzing my remarks, so I'll rephrase. We're going to have to agree to disagree.

I'd suggest your two support classes serve some double duty. So maybe... Cleric/Archer (full caster levels, but archer feats) Rogue/Wizard (the high int will help the rogue skills out anyway, and arcane trickster is a nice PrC to move into) Barbarian/Fighter (the rage and speed boost gives...

Well, it's clear that if you and others refuse to accept the "official" faq and subsequent published material by Wizards as being a valid indicator of how to understand a particular rule, then there is absolutely nothing I can do to convince you. Good luck all with your games. Cedric

Regardless how many times feat or effect of feat is defined or reinterrpreted, it's clear from the fact that INA is a recommended Monk Feat in PHB2 that the RAW allows INA for Monks.

Ok...so can a monk use Weapon Finesse with his unarmed strike?
