That is where you are mistaken. Re-read the DMG rules on crafting items: Creating Magic Armor (DMG p.285): "If spells are involved in the prerequisites for making the armor, the creator must have prepared the spells to be cast (or must know the spells, in the case of a sorcerer or bard)..."...

That most certainly is RAW.

I'm intrigued: who do you think puts out (any) better d20 products than WotC?

In my experience, such DMs are rarely (if ever) as good at concealing their fudginess as they think they are.

"With no modifiers for size or Dexterity" is not the same as "denied Dex bonus to AC."

And I assume you didn't tell her that you were giving up dating entirely, just that you weren't going to be dating her anymore. Remember: "We just aren't a match" isn't a reason, it's just a clear indication that the relationship is over. Now, if there is an articulable reason why you're...

I believe #1 is correct as well.

Skill points. Starting HP. And, as others have mentioned, exactly what "free" means in this context.

I don't know if you realize (or care) that the FAQ says just the opposite--or at least, makes no mention of having to take any penalties on the longspear attack. FWIW.

In which case, there's no harm in simply telling the ousted person: "We just have different styles of play, and don't fit together in a game." It's kind of like when a girl you're dating wants to break up with you. Sure, she could fake her own death or tell you that her employer is making her...

I'm with you, Reynard: the story comes out of the game. Fudging is acceptable to me only in so far as it is necessary to keep the game going (avoiding a TPK, for example), and even in those cases the players must never even suspect that it has occurred or it ruins the game for me. Better that...

I don't think that's "polite" at all; it's just cowardly. If I were going to be kicked out of a group, I'd at least like to know why, if for no other reason than that I could then try not to repeat the problem with my next group.

That seems pretty clear to me: with a reach weapon and Combat Reflexes, you'd get one AoO when the charging opponent enters your threatened square, and another AoO when he leaves it.

I believe Patryn has it right. Sorry, Hyp.

Pyrex has it right.

No, in this example, you're giving them too little information to make meaningful choices (then holding them accountable as if they should have known what you didn't tell them). "You feel really sick" is not enough of a description to impart the crucial information: "Your character is suffering...

Ground rules are fine. Some of your ground rules, I would not support. These seem fine to me. I especially like the second half of #1. I like the idea that "players police their own," but I don't know what it really means in practice. What if half the players think the behavior is fine, and...

I count myself among those who would never, ever take an item creation feat in a campaign that expected me to then craft items for fellow party members, much less at a discount. The characters I have had take item creation feats have, for the most part, been quite willing to craft items for...

What makes you people think these are "loopholes?" If they'd wanted the prestige class to have a prerequisite "at least one level in a martial class," they'd have made that the prerequisite. There's nothing unbalanced about a Wiz5 with the Militia feat qualifying for Eldritch Knight, IMO.

Yep. That's the one.
