    Improved Rapid Shot feat

    Keep it civilized folks ;) This thread is beginning to sound like a flame war. Now I like a good flaming war as much as the next guy but they do tend to get long threaded :D Slinglbd~

    The Best and Worst Rules of D&D

    WORST: The new facing rules. The idea of a horse taking up a 2x2 space rather than a 2x1 space is ridiculous!!

    Class Imbalance?

    It may have been said but: Check out Monte Cooks Sorcerer in BEM2 or the new Complete BEM for 3.5. He gave the sorcer it's own spell list, a few more skill points & more class skills. I feel BEM's Sorcerer IS ballanced. That's the one I use in my games....

    Improved Rapid Shot feat

    I would have to disagree with precise shot hardly comming into play. The group I am currently GMing has 2 tanks & 2 archers. THe archers fire into melee EVERY combat. The tanks take the brunt of the assault while both archers rapid shot into the fray. Now precise shot negates a -4 penalty that...

    Converting rolls from 2nd ed

    A friend of mine runs us through a slew of old modules. He's created a quick & dirty system. Again, like others here have pointed out, attribute increases are far more common in 3rd Ed. 3.5 trunicated it to a small degree but it is still very common for attributes to exceed 20 before level 10...

    What's the point of magic arrows?

    You have to remember the overlapping rule. If you have a +1 bow & fire +5 arrows the bonuses may not stack but they do overlap. So a +5 arrow shot out of a +1, holy, icy burst, etc, etc, etc bow would get the +5 bonus from teh arrows.

    "alchemical" silver

    Actualy Alchemal Silver is Mercury, teh same stuff in thermometers. A sword with an alchemal silver core is basically designed to have the silver rest in the pommel of the weapon, then when swung, the mercury is forced up a small hollow tube in the blade, thus making it heavier & the kinetic...

    Why a 20-die cap on falling damage?

    I never thought of it that way. In the case of falls from severe heights, let the cap stay. So you take 20D6 falling damage & oh, say 10D6 cold damage :)

    Why a 20-die cap on falling damage?

    I'd hafta agree here. My earlier post showed how little I know of the deffinition of terminal velocity :rolleyes: But I think that for teh most part & without getting bogged down with rules. it's safe to say that the average joe character will hit terminal velocity at or close to 200' of...

    Why a 20-die cap on falling damage?

    Problem with that is that the term "Terminal Velocity" basically means the absolute fastest you can fall. regarless if you are flailing your arms or trying to shoot down like a dart. Skydivers with thier orms & legs out actualy fall less than terminal velocity. The combination of them speading...
