PHB p. 137, under "Starting a Grapple": "A monk can use his unarmed attack rate of attacks per round while grappling."

You know, WotC should have just made the spell form for the appropriate level. Say, [element]ball is a 3rd level spell. Instead of Energy Substitution, one could just have acidball and sonicball and so on and so forth. Of course, there would need to be an adjustment for sonic, like +1 to the...

A few things about bards vis-a-vis rogues: * Bards have a sink in skill points, Perform. Basically, they need to max out a skill to do a key class function. * Remember, spellcasters have other needs for skills. If you ignore Concentration, it is at your peril. Bards could make some use of...

The Survivor.

Too bad this is not an AFD joke. Sheer munchkinism. I wonder if it would work if the caster needed 3rd-level spell casting skill and had all saves poor. Really ... his Will save at 20th level +11 base, +12 if he were to single-class. Not much sacrifice in my book. The WotC version, at 20th...

One of my GMs has such monsters. He saw a pair at a con, bought them ... and no one has ever seen another one since. I loathe the caltrops. I'd pay $$$ for the 8-sided d4s. Especially if I can find an oversized one.

Odd ... no tabaxi. I woulda bet money on them being there.

Say, could someone sort all this new stuff into something readable? Like, sort changes by SRD chapter or something, so we can see all changes to the bard in one spot, all changes to feats in another, and so on and so forth. Morrus hasn't updated the 3.5 Scoops page lately.

Ideas one and two sound pretty good to me, in combination. I always thought it should deal 1d3 damage, which would still make it better, since it never misses and has no save. Plus, you wouldn't need to roll the caltrops. There's a value in having an attack that never misses, even from the...

I think it would be: te verpae salvere rogo Literally, "I request you to greet 'my little friend'" using a little salacious word for "my little friend."

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Things I'd like to see That's Bluff. Intimidation is gaining what you want through the threat of force.

Re: Re: Re: Things I'd like to see I'd like to see feinting taken out of the Bluff skill. What does feinting have to do with BSing guards? This should be a ability based on the BAB, not the Bluff skill. Make Intimidation Str-based, always. Like I and others have said, paladin and monk...

The new one -- #307, I think. Wizards left open the chance of change -- the passage read something like (don't have it here) "right now, we have it at +1 for every four caster levels."

Which, according to Dragon, They are weakening to +1/4 levels. As Wizards is not making spells to defeat DRs other than magic and alignment (and maybe epic), you will need the Golfbag of Many Swords. "Boy, fetch me the coldiron!"

Re: Re: Why are ranks limited? Such characters are easy to beat. Johnny One-Notes fall down go boom in my games (which, when I run a game, is always GURPS). Any GM who loses control of these characters is a lousy GM. I can see the limits in d20, since gaining the next level is a big goal, but...

DR, ki strike I just saw the new Dragon at the FLGS. Here is how monks will earn ki strike: 4th bypass DR/magic 10th bypass DR/lawful 16th bypass DR/adamantite It's not +1, +2, and so on; it's just DR 15/magic. A +6 or better weapon is epic, and there's DR lawful/chaotic/good/evil and a ton...

Rangers, bards, monks Monte Cook's ranger changed too much and wound up too powerful. I'd space out the bonus feats, and give options for them. Do you want a bowman ranger (which should be the default, common in fantasy writing), a two-weapon ranger (the current situation, Drizzt Do'Urden) or a...

Go to the Source gaming store on Snelling and Larpenteur Avenues (Falcon Heights, close to Saint Paul Campus). It's the best gaming store in the area, and there are plenty of games and gamers there, with the usual ads and such. I don't game there, but that's the one in your area. Alternately...

This shouldn't be a feat. If it were one of those high-level special rogue abilities, like Opportunist or Improved Evasion, it would be closer to in-line, and you're giving up far more to take it. Still, it's more kick-butt then Weapon Specialization, so no, not even then.

Well, teleport. That should always be your first 5th-level spell. Next, permanancy.. And make any spell you can cast on yourself (the first list in the PHB) permanent on yourself, plus cast resistance on both you and your familiar. If you have Tome and Blood case familiar pocket on your pouch...
