    unfortunately not Finally settled, sunder and attacks of opp

    Hi everyone, Sorry to come late, but I've enjoyed the debate and had a sincere question. Where does it say that an AoO cannot be a standard action? It says that its a single melee attack, but it doesn't seem to limit that melee attack to a non-standard action. There seems to be some...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Conceptual Problems with 3E/3.5E and Desired Solutions for 4E

    My biggest conceptual problem is with the profession, knowledge, craft, and perhaps a few other skills being linked to class level. I don't care how many dragons a character slays, it isn't going to turn them into master blacksmiths within the span of a few months or years, depending on the...

    Wall of Fire Spell

    Whelp, I figure every good spell needs it's day in court, so I'll argue for the prosecution. The defense would have you believe that this is an open and shut case. All damage stacks. However, we are not really talking about damage per sea, we are talking about spell effects. The question is...

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    You're quite right. I don't want to go down that path any more than saying there is more to a round then just time.

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    Sorry, for coming in late to the discussion, but I've found it quite interesting. It seems to me that allowing the actions to be defined only in terms of time is central to the issue. If we say that swift actions take 1 unit of time and standard actions take 2 units of time, then why couldn't...

    Oversized vs. Two-Handed Melee weapons

    A medium-sized character with only simple weapon proficiency can wield 2-handed; a Greatsword 2d6/19-20x2 with a -4 non-proficiency penalty, or a Large Morningstar 2d6/x2 with a -2 improper size penalty. Am I missing any rules there? Thanks!

    (3.5E) Aw, crap...

    Man, I can't wait to cast my first Firesquare spell. Seriously though, it looks like they are trying to clean things up. However, I think placing facing back in can only server to make for some strange situations, which they will hopefully take into consideration. IMHO, the no-facing/flanking...

    Should a "specialist" wizard be demoted?

    I hear ya Bugaboo. Still, I wouldn't throw all the blame at the player. The rules for specialized wizards are weak. It's a good idea that promotes a little diversity amongst mages, but it's certainly an area that can be improved and expanded upon. Maybe they'll do something with it for 3.5.

    [OT] Are you being tracked online?

    While I don't have PurgeIE, a "locked" file error generally means that the file is in use by another program. I'd make sure that all instances of IE are closed. If that fails then reboot and run Purge directly afterwards, although some programs may start with the reboot that could still "lock"...

    [OT] I'm paying $350 a MONTH in Car Insurance!!

    I don't know your family situation, but could you sign the car over to your parents and have them add you as a driver? That certainly saved me a ton of cash in my early driving years.

    [OT] Are you being tracked online?

    I hate to mention this, but the real privacy threat to your average law abiding american is not the the information on your system, but the data being gathered by your ISP. You may very well be surprised by how detailed they can be about a subcribers Internet usage, most notoriously keeping...

    Do you think Haste is too powerful as is?

    Trash?!?! Sorry, didn't mean offense, I'll try to tone down my sarcasm a bit...just trying to be funny. Also sorry for interjecting into the literature debate. I'll disagree that adding another "soft target" in an additional PC wizard is more balancing than hasting a single wizard. While...

    Do you think Haste is too powerful as is?

    Ok, for all you anti-hasters out there; What if the group added another player that created another equal level wizard, instead of the haste spell? Would that be overpowered? I mean this wizard would get a whole round of actions, maybe even *gasp* another quickened spell! He would...

    If there was one thing about 3rdE that you could change, what would it be?

    My thoughts on this whole AC vs. Definsive Roll thing, it seems to me that in DnD the defender does get a roll, but they always roll a 10. The 10 coming from the initial armour class. The 10 points seems to imply some dodging, blocking, parrying, or whatever. I mean, if you were standing...
