    Base Hitpoints: Containing the Ripple.

    I see your points, and I'd like to clarify mine: Succeeding in an infinite number of Fort Saves isn't helping the goblin to stay conscious once he's on 0 WP, though. And as for the dying part: If you want to play it strictly by the rules, that's fine, but it's akin to keeping track of all...

    What are the some of the best ways to make $$

    That would be awesome! You can even sell the rungs as firewood or smelt them into even more ten-foot poles.

    Monk flurry = TWF?

    Thank you for bringing this up. The quarterstaff isn't just a two-handed weapon. It's a double-weapon. And frankly I don't see why a monk should have to choose between Flurry and TWF at low levels when wielding the quarterstaff or nunchucks or whatever. No one has to choose between TWF and more...

    Monk flurry = TWF?

    It's true that the monk (and any other character for that matter) can attack with any part of their body. However, this does not mean they get more attacks through it, unlike, say, a carrion crawler (lame example, I know) with its many tentacles. These are natural weapons, an unarmed strike...

    What are the some of the best ways to make $$

    At some point it says that you can sell certain commodities (e.g. gems) at full price. I would rule the same for magic items, but restrict the sale as you did: Open a shop, or travel about selling stuff. Then there's the problem of demand. Magic brooms that sweep on their own will sell just...

    Monk flurry = TWF?

    I like the idea, but unfortunately, you need DEX 13+ to use it and I doubt there is a monk in the world who has it. Also, you need three or more hands. Even so, neither multi-weapon fighting or multiattack (the version for natural attacks) allow you to make more attacks. It just reduced the...

    Monk flurry = TWF?

    I think we're sidetracking here. I don't want to say that the question of proficiency with unarmed stikes/natural weapons has nothing to do with the OP, but neither does it bring us closer to answering the question of whether you can combine Flurry + TWF, and, if so, what STR mod applies to the...

    Monk flurry = TWF?

    I'm still not sold on this. Either I am missing something in the rules or I am interpreting known rules differently. Could you perhaps quote from the SRD to back up your interpretation? I'll go first: If there's a second, there has to be a first. It explicitly mentions unarmed strike, so it's...

    Monk flurry = TWF?

    The RAW isn't very precise about the whole issue, but it does say that you need to take the full attack action to make more than one attack. Since TWF stacks with the regular attacks every character eventually gets, I wouldn't say that you can't combine two actions that grant you extra attacks...

    Monk flurry = TWF?

    I beg to differ. While PHB pg. 160 states that you may get an additional attack with your off-hand if you "wield a second weapon", it also states that light weapons operate at a reduced penalty and that "the unarmed strike is always considered a light weapon". Furthermore, PHB pg. 116 lists the...

    Base Hitpoints: Containing the Ripple.

    I've always liked the Vitality/Wound Point System from UA. It gets rid of several issues at once: 1. high mortality rate at low levels. 2. arbitrary connection between size or body mass and hit points via hit dice. 3. long recuperation periods for characters with many hit points. 4. nigh...

    Starting money beyond level 1

    There's got to be a neat table for this somewhere. I can't find it though. Any pointers? Thanks very much in advance!

    Heroes #25:An Invisible Thread/Season 3/2009

    Yeah, what the hell? Completely forgot about them. They probably all died in Iraq like Joe Swanson's kid on Family Guy. I hear they planned to renew the cast for every season but got greedy/chickened out because of S1's runaway success. That. That's just what makes him *tic*, he is, after all...

    Heroes #25:An Invisible Thread/Season 3/2009

    So who is this Chuck character? And could someone explain to me why they didn't resurrect Nathan with Claire's blood like they did a while ago with Noah? He got shot in the freaking eye and recovered.

    Arcane Power: How long before the pirated copy appears

    To everyone who's found it by now: Congratulations, people. You are truly great with them interwebs. [/sarcasm] As was said before, if the major sites that have noteworthy traffic don't offer it yet, it does not matter at all with regard to the topic being discussed here.

    FR Outer Planes detailed anywhere?

    Just found it: The Player's Guide has descriptions in it. I'll be sure to check out Candlekeep, too.

    FR Outer Planes detailed anywhere?

    Is there a Forgotten Realms sourcebook that details Toril's Outer Planes? If not, are there any good online resources that compile canonic information?

    Greek(/Latin) help

    I only know a bit of Latin, but it should go like this: The Book of Iron Heroics: liber factorum ferrarium The Book of Forbidden Heroics: liber factorum illegibus Literally it means "the book of iron/unlawful deeds" Note that no definite article existed in Latin and that genitive case is...

    What do you like about 4e?

    There are indeed a few things I like very much about 4E. Not enough to beat 3.x, but some things are really an improvement in my book: the level modifier. Already kind of implicit in some 3.5-mechanics (special ability save DCs). Gets rid of high level BAB/save disparity between classes as...
