Either/or would certainly change the dynamic for scout skirmishers. No more trying to figure out where to get free movement for that skirmish damage.

Ordained Champion also does provoke. (SP)

Crystal Keep listed the dagger whip as found in Dragon 353 (p28) and Dungeon 134 (p50). The dates on those make it look like it was 3.5 territory. If you just want the stats for the weapons, the compilation is still posted here.

You are taking the stance that Knowledge (local) is some kind of catch-all uber category that makes several of the other Knowledge skills irrelevant. That is a significant stretch away from what's actually written, and I'm not sure why you would choose to interpret it that way. According to...

Thanks Stream. Just for clarification, when you say "I'd allow a free action to touch yourself, as it's not that hard to do", are you saying that using a touch spell on yourself would require physically touching yourself with the hand that is holding the charge (like tapping your chest or head...

Last gaming session, our party was locked in mortal combat with a Lich. The cleric tried to drop the Lich with a heal spell: he cast the spell and then attempted a touch attack against the Lich….and missed. (He rolled a 2 or something similarly painful). The cleric then “held the charge” in...

I've seen this skill interpreted both ways, so I don't believe that there is an approved official ruling for it, but to me, it never made much sense to restricting Knowledge (local) to one particular locality. Sure, on the surface it seems a little overly broad to have some local knowledge of...

My clerics make a point of having at least one Eagle's Splendor scroll on-hand for those times where you absolutely, positively need to have an additional turn-undead attempt for the day. This only works if you do not have another enhancement to Charisma already.

Yes it does. Try looking at page 97, under feats, cleverly hidden under the listing of "L" - leadership. Well, my publication date is July 2003, so I'm going to go with then. Look, the details for the feat are in the DMG, but the basic feat outline is certainly listed in the PH. That is...

Try this again: lots of good recommendations HERE.

Sorry, even though I gave some recommendations yesterday, I didn't re-read your request before posting this morning. What follows is all 3ed recommendations - not what you were looking for. I'll leave them just in case you are willing to do the conversions, but if not, feel free to ignore...

I second Lord Xaviar's recommendation for Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. It's levels 1-3, runs fairly easily, and was rated one of the top 30 modules of all time. It also includes pre-rolled characters inside (I think) if you wanted to just pick it up and start playing. His other...

Empirate, that is a well stated summary, and I agree with all. AJ can be overwhelming, depending on your campaign, or it can fit right in with other powerful abilities. And THAT goes a long way towards explaining how different posters on these boards can have very different opinions regarding...

Without knowing the exact spell, I can't be sure, but normally spells that have an expense associated with the material component will list that price specifically: identify requires that stupid 100gp pearl. If the spell you want just lists "dragon scale" as the material component, without...

This would be evil. I've actually only seen it used as a PC ability but I like where you're going with it. Give the BBEG abrupt jaunt and have him pop around the room every time the PCs try to get a swing at him. Ha! Knowing my group, I'm pretty sure that I'd wind up using my dodge skills to...

Celebrim - Completely agree. It's still awesome even as a swift action, but we found it to be less game breaking that way. Xaviar, I'm not sure where you are going with the DC save thing. The Immediate Magic description says the "save DC (if any")...." suggesting that some give saves and some...

The problem we always had with Abrupt Jaunt is not the "get out of grapple free", but the "avoid any attack for free" aspects of it being an immediate action. We house ruled Abrupt Jaunt to be a swift action rather than an immediate action, and as a swift action it works just fine. It's still...

aboyd is correct. In combat you get 1 standard action, 1 move action, and your five foot step (and one swift/immediate action if you can use it, and as many free actions as the DM will allow). Thus no two standard actions unless you do something special. There are ways to cast two spells in a...

If you like the flavor, then more power to you - I hope you have fun with it. However, just make sure that you give the class abilities a CAREFUL reading before signing up, because blighter is a weak PrC in many ways (to include gimped spell casting) so you definitely want to understand what...

Blighter.... but trust me you DO NOT want to take that crappy PrC
