In rags, no. But the half-elf's leather armor and the woman jewels should have been taken away.

Depends on the type of attack. For creatures like vampire, energy drain is just a bonus effect of the slam attack. If the slam attack deals no damage, energy drain does not occur. Incorporeal undeads like spectres use incorporeal touch and so ignore armour.

To the OP, I want to say this : Too late, Blizzard has decided to follow WotC's path, they want to release an uncomplete version of Diablo III.

Well I would really love to be sure that your point n°2 is right. But in fact, flat attack progression could also mean that attack & defense enhancements will be in magic items. And I keep on hearing D&D little voice whispering over my shoulder: "PCs are expected to be equipped with +2...

That was my impression as well. I really liked 3.X edition, but I'm really not appealed by this new edition.

The good metamagic feats in Pathfinder : Persistent Spell (+2 lvls) => targets must succeed 2 saves or suffer full effect Toppling Spell (+1 lvl) => trips enemies with Magic Missile (some traits can reduce the level increase to zero) Selective Spell (+1 lvl) => avoid to harm your party members...

People like playing rogues because, when you kill dragons, demons or other monsters, there is more panache in doing this as a 50 lbs halfling with a butter knife than as a 250 lbs barbarian with a great axe.

I have a die set in jade, they are very nice and I never noticed if they are really flawed.

I really don't like the kind of Save-or-die as explained in this article. I'm not a big fan of SoD but I think that if they are well used, they are something that make players more careful on how they play. There is nothing worse that a high level party who just charges stupidely any mobs they...

Yes, if you miss your smite attack, it is used for the day. No, even if the text is lightly different, this ability works exactly like the Paladin's Smite Evil => if the celestial creature miss, the smite is used for the day.

I really hated some books released by WotC that were full of loopholes, overpowered or untested stuff. So I would really like to see a 5th edition that is well written and fully supported. but you know what : I don't think I will have it. The designated goals of D&D Next are compatibility...

I'm not sure Haley isn't lying about her search ranks ; the kobold is a good reason to let someone risk his life trying to find traps : he is a rogue, no one in the party cares about him and he can't refuse. And believe me, I played enough CN rogues to know all the tricks !! ;)

I'm still confused with those polls. If WotC already has D&D Next in alpha stage (as they are making some playtests), what is the point of asking players what they want for 5th edition ?? Just let us try the alpha version and listen to what we like/dislike about it !! Sometimes I have the...

Knowing Elan's very special logic and Tarquin's feelings about his former wives, I really don't think that is Elan's plan. I'm sure Elan wants to use Nale against his father, to have some kind of father-&-son special moment in the middle of the battle.

I felt theurge to give you XP, but the forum doesn't want me to !! ;)

Most often Human, Elf or Half-elf. On some special occasions, Dwarf or halfling (who feel discriminated for not being in the list of core races).

I enjoy playing elves a lot. Il really dislike elves when they are depicted as some kind of angels or flawless humans. I want elves to be close to humans in appearance but with a very different mindset, due to a very long lifespan or an alien education. What they are exactly is not important...

The Whip-dagger from Sword & Fist deals lethal damage. By RAW, a whip could have the Vorpale property, but a wise move could be to consider that the Vorpale effect can only work if the whip deals damage.

IIRC, Monte Cook said once that they wanted to get rid of the human male fighter cliché and they choose a dwarf as fighter iconic. But the marketing department disliked it and they insisted on having a male human. Devs had no choice but to obey, so they took their revenge and killed Regnar in...

Is Pathfinder D&D or not ? Well I think the best answer I could give is : D&D : James Jacobs never told you what happened to your father. Pathfinder : He told me enough! He told me YOU killed him. D&D: Pathfinder, I am your father. Pathfinder : NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !! ;)
