Well virtual feats does allow you to give a ranger more powerful abilities, since they will have drawbacks as well. That way the abilities aren't great for everyone, they are only good for those who really want to wear light armor. Given that there is already a class that gives extra feats as...

There are plenty of supernatural abilities that do not require a standard action to use though, and it does specificaly say you can sing while you are performing other actions. My interpetation is that singing is not an action at all. It's just sort of an ability that you can turn on while you...

I believe the damage is non elemental so it does bypass any form of elemental resistance. On the other hand, it's subdual damage which does not work on constructs and undead (and perhaps others I am forgetting). Also if a person is taking real damage and subdual damage, then a heal spell cures...

"Real world definition is irrelevant. It's not just a convenient label - it's the word used both in and out of character to refer to different sentient creatures." Yes, but you miss my point. First off it's not just used to describe sentient creatures. If you were creating a character sheet for...

"Now look at your character sheet, and read out the label beside the bit where you write "I'm a fire giant". " Well I assume you mean to point out that character species is written under the race column in a character sheet. While this is true, they just use that as a convenient label rather...

One thing that bothers me a little bit in some lines of this discussion is when people refer to killing giants without knowing for sure what their motives are as being racist. In the current use, racism refers to discriminating against other human beings based on their race. It is not racism to...

"A(a)ssassin: one who kills other for money. This is evil. If you are just killing because you are paid, then you are an assassin and commiting evil. If you only kill evil people, but only do it because you are paid, it is still at least somewhat evil." Bear in mind that this then applies to...

"You're right. Negative energy is just another weapon. Undeath and the undead, on the other hand, are considered inherently evil, cause it's a mockery of life." Well that's not entirely true by the rules. Casting a spell that uses negative energy in some way is not an evil act. But channeling...

To address the original question, I don't think there is any way to argue that there is any rules based evidence that CDG is an evil act. The actual definition of good and evil acts are usualy left fairly open by the core rules, with a few exceptions such as channeling negative energy. CDG is...

"Okay, this explains things better. I don't think it's petty, but I'm also not sure it's the best way to run things. If the players know they're going to get less XP if they come up with a clever and inventive way to defeat the enemies than they will if they just charge in and slug it out, that...

I think part of the problem is that people are being way too simplistic in their definitions of good and evil. The alignment system isn't supposed to say that there is no moral debate, and there is one right way to do things. This is definetely a case where there is more then one way to be...

It's worth noting that if it takes two full rounds to load a crossbow, this does not allow you to fire 5 times a minute, because it would also require an action to fire the crossbow. As a result you would fire something more like 3 times a minute. It's probably true that a crossbow shouldn't...

By the letter of the rules it would not, but you could make an arguement for common sense saying something else. One thing to remember at least is that depending on their manueverability, most flying creatures have a minimum air speed. If they don't maintain that speed every turn they fall...

It's questionable weither arcane lock would even work on a locked guantlet given that there is no actual lock, nor anything that opens or closes. Be kind of like trying to cast arcane lock on your shoe laces. If it did work though, it would just make it harder to force open. I always assumed...

Well you have to ask yourself why a carrior crawler would CDG their enemies. Their paralysis lasts long enough that he can doesn't really need to, he can just kill his enemy by leisurely eating it. He's certainly not used to fighting enemies who cast cure paralysis or anything like that. But...

Wow all the way up to 60, that's alot of books that never made it here. I wonder how good the later ones were. I suppose I could always look for them on e-bay, but I wonder if I'd still like them as much now. I remember my one big complaint with the game was that so much depended on what you...

So how far did the FF gamebook series ever get? I used to absolutely love fighting fantasy when I was in high school, but I remember that in America we were several books behind england and at some point we just seemed to stop getting them (at least in New York) even though I knew there were...

Well it's not that easy to get pets with animal handling, unless you have months to spend raising and training it. But since the potion idea doesn't work either, I guess it's the only option for non ranger/druids.

I know in the official living campaigns, item caster level is a requirement for making the items as well. Given this and the quote Dcollins showed us, I'd say you certainly do have to be the apropriate level listed on the item.

Well I think the main reason it's in the DMG is because essentialy there are no rules for making items. There are some guidelines if the DM want to house rule in his own items, but there are no official rules or anything like that. Since house rules are the DM's decision, it's in the DMG not the...
