But it's so summarily bad on the whole now, for 3.5 questions, that it is a good idea to ignore it in its entirety. It probably didn't help that it was never just 1 person submitting answers ... or that the people weren't necessarily rules experts in any way, shape, or form. But there's been...

Quick Draw is good if you have multiple weapons you need to draw. It sounds like your guy mainly uses his main short sword ... so you can probably do without it. Power Attack, I don't know -- while you may be tied to your short sword, as a fighter you know how to use a LOT of weapons, and some...

So, actually about the ad ... It made me laugh. That's all I can say. I appreciate that, but it was more of a "laugh at" rather than a "laugh with", so ... probably didn't work as an ad for me at all.

Now that I know you can't really take or do things outside of the PHB feats ... all the things that would solve that are out the window. So it's probably an OK feat choice in that circumstance. Don't be too hard on yourself, it's tough to build a character. It takes practice. But in...

Wow. I missed that. Sorry! The core feats for players are pretty much not tied to social skills at all, unfortunately ... so they're not going to help with that. Whirlwind Attack, with the right feats leading up to it, could be a more interesting combat option. What about Exotic Weapon...

Anything boosting an "attack roll" only boosts your chance to hit. The damage you deal is determined by your "damage roll", so unless a feat specifically boosts both (which some do), it's only making it easier to actually hit things. Intuitive Attack only applies to your chance to hit a creature.

I can't speak as to whether it's "lame" or not -- it's just a very specific ability. It seems like it's for flavor, but may once in a while come in handy. There are many that are more specific than this ... I'd say it's certainly not a reason to choose a prestige class. But a PrC can't...

A lot of your outside-of-combat decisions are tied primarily to decisions you made to focus ON combat, and where to put your stats. With both Intelligence and Charisma modifiers of +0, you're gaining no more than 3 skill points per level as a human, and Fighter has one of the worst class...

There are a few spells that mention the ability damage is divine in origin -- I'd think "divine power" refers to that type of damage. However, any spell altered by the Consecrate Spell metamagic changes half of the damage to a divine origin. So theoretically, any spell that deals damage could...

I think you mean that the items all boost your turning level, rather than caster level. But yes, they stack. It's pretty much a good way to make sure you can turn quite a few undead. Sadly, there are still some whose HD will be beyond your ability to turn.

And he was warned not to do so by a moderator. And really, on an online forum, that should be enough. This thread no longer has anything to do with what it originally started out as. I do not like. It has nothing to do with anything D&D-related. So let's not and say we did.

No, I'm actually saying that I refuse to play the "my woes are worse than your woes" game. It's ridiculous. For someone who is so concerned with raising awareness, I am surprised you would think that's the way to get your point across. I have understood every point you've raised. The fact...

I suspect more like ... the DM forgot that rule. Yay us! ;) But it's okay -- we were kind of being sent on a wacky mission by an agent of a deity. Maybe she helped us out. :P

Sadly, he is right. I would also add you should not only try to enjoy the game, but do your best to be an excellent player in the campaign he is running. It sounds like he may need the help, if your group is really THAT opposed to this sort of storyline.

Sexist isn't an epithet, but it instantly stigmatizes you to be called one. So you're right in that the two are not on the same level, but I wouldn't want to be called either. I don't really think this is the right thread for such an argument, do you? No group of people anywhere are going to...

Ah, I would suggest this is a misunderstanding of the male of the species. I believe a majority of men are more than able of understanding that women are people and individuals; some of them simply don't know (and were never taught) how to behave in the best possible way around them. A lot of...

For the same reason other players are penalized for not having a high Constitution (by being easier to kill), or for not having high Strength (they do less damage in melee combat), or any other stat. There should always be a reason why a character is less in one area than another, if the...

Benign transposition was one of the first 2 spells I ever knew, way back at level 1. The other was true strike. Verbal-only spells are great for getting out of a jam, and for casting while in full plate. The last time I used it, I quaffed a potion of freedom of movement, then had my cohort...

Our group is currently a male DM (who has no problem with players of either gender), 4 female players, and 2 male players. One of the women plays a male character. Both men play male characters. It's never been a problem at all, and in fact, we are all kind of tickled pink that we're actually...

"You must spread experience points around before giving it to Persiflage again." Well, I've been trying! Thank you for your excellent response, Persiflage. You pretty much covered everything I need to know next time I get trapped in some crazy situation. I'm still learning new spells each...
