While on the subject, does anyone know what book the Improved Coup de Grace feat comes from and what it does?

Yeah, specifically: Improved Bull Rush Improved Counterspell Improved Disarm Improved Grapple Improved Shield Bash Improved Sunder Improved Trip Improved Grapple I was going to include a poll like the one for Rate the Races, but I accidentally unclicked the box. D'oh!

What do you think? Do they aid flavor/coolness? Do they make things unbalanced too easily? Are the mechanics too clunky to be done regularly? Do they make combat scenes drag on? I wanted to gauge the opinions on the feats that typically make alternative combat abilities more attractive. I am...

I wanted to create some Grappler/Wrestler related magic items. The most logical classes would be Monks and Barbarians and the most logical clothing items would be boots, capes or cloaks, masks, bracers and gloves. Now for "Wrestling boots" I think granting Improved Trip and/or +2 to the check...

TWF and ranged attacks I'll tell you one thing I think should be changed, the fact that the current TWF (the current PHb version, that is) doesn't reduce the penalty for wielding/throwing a light ranged weapon in the off-hand. I mean they already eschewed the two ranged attacks with the...

Yeah, I saw this too, and I asked the same question in another thread and didn't get a response. I mean, come on, if you use their example about adding disarm it's 49k+ for improved unarmed strike (and if you already have it do you get anything else? I don't remember) and can add on the...

Magic Items, Barbarians & more Does anybody understand how to do the pricing for those Bracers in Magic of Faerun that grant improved unarmed strike and can have weapon abilities placed on them. For example, how much would it cost for the Disarming (+2 equiv) ability? It's gotta be expensive...

Improved Coup de Grace & then some Dremen, Nice. First things first, though. Does anybody have any good Mexican Wrestler style names for this guy? I have quite a few background ideas for the Crusty "Ole Thorny" guy (Rog/Rgr/Brb). He once ran a traveling grappling show as a con in the sticks...

Now that I think of it It's kind of gross (though maybe not as powerful as the other versions, I'm not sure) to make a Rog 3, Rgr 1, Brb 2. The sneak attack could make up for the low unarmed damage, twf makes up for the flurry of blows, the other abilities are helpful. Skills would need to...

Technik, If you are allowing OA stuff, your player might want to consider taking the Improved Grapple and Choke Hold route. A human at 1st level could have both of these abilities but he'd be highly advised to have his high attributes by Strength and Wisdom. There's a few other feats from OA...

Not to repeat what's already been said, but my 2 ways of looking at the divine power source. The spells/domain abilities are coming from the raw forces of the universe itself, which is what I'm reading from the "bypass the middleman" theory. A variation on this idea is in D&Dg (and something of...

Half-Orc Monk 4/Fighter 2, is it? I can't track down Heroes of High Favor: Half-Orcs (BadAxe Games) but I hope it will have something I might like. Wrath and Rage (Green Ronin) was focused in a different direction. Anyway, that's 6 feats to work with (I'm assuming one can't switch out the mental...

Okay, as you've no doubt noticed, I am going with similar feats almost everytime. Suggestions, alternatives, comments, criticisms. . . Here's the Human Monk 2/Barbarian 4 Thorin Blackblood Feats and Abilities: Str 18/22 (+4/+6) Dex 14/12 (+2/+1) Con 14/18 (+2/+4) Int 12 (+1) Wis 14 (+2) Cha...

I'm going to have to disagree with Thunhus about the power level. If you take the Ranger out of his favored terrain and up against non-favored enemies, he's only half as good as a fighter. This happens all the time, you don't even really have to take the ranger out of the wild to make most of...

Shurai, Okay, legal is a little overstated but we are talking about the two most diametrically opposed classes, IMHO. Mind you one doesn't have to move more than one alignment to go from Monk to Barbarian, per se, but we are talking about a typically chaotic class. And it's more than just the...

Do we assume this ranger has the same spellcasting abilities or not? I noticed you gave Concentration as a class skill so I'm assuming that's a yes. If you keep the spell casting, I really like it. Otherwise, the problem evaluating the worth of favored enemies/terrain rears its ugly head.

I tend to make my halflings have a jokey last name. I just ran a pugilist named Milos "Noseby" Featherbeater. Always introducing himself as Milos, ". . but now that ya knows me, call me Noseby." He was a major contender in halfling boxing circles about to be in a title match for the paperweight...

HELP! Great suggestions, everyone. I have a lot of things to look at for sure. Man, oh, man. So I took the advice and tried making a monk version. Playtested the Half-Orc Barbarian/Fighter and the Human Monk/Fighter against some Dire Animals and they got toasted. Repeatedly. Cloud Giants would...

Wow am I showing my ignorance. I don't have OA, sorry about that. As for Favored Critical, I don't have my MotW anymore. But I thought it stacked, unless it's more like Power Critical. If anybody has it, can they clarify. Does Favored Critical stack Improved Critical?

Here's a question for you- is the take down implied in a pin during a grapple. Is there any benefit in taking Improved Trip then? Well, anyway, I got some amazing rolls (we're supposed to for this game) and after pouring over the stuff I have I tried on this for size. I think this guy could...
