If they're not going to play their characters based on the result of the Sense Motive check, I'd say that's metagaming and call them on it. If you're going to choose to roll Sense Motive to see if your character thinks there's something suspicious about what the wizard is telling you, and I tell...

True Story. By the end of a campaign I played in, all the characters, and all the players, were completely utterly terrified of kobolds. At 18th level. And not kobolds with class levels. Just the regular kind. Given the choice between fighting kobolds or pit fiends, we would have chosen pit...

The Spellthief was voted out the first round for being too opponent-specific, and yet the Spirit Shaman is still there...

I'm just surprised it's gotten more votes than the Divine Mind. While hate was spread all around when Complete Psionic came out, I don't recall many people saying they preferred the Divine Mind to the Ardent. It was usually the opposite. I wonder how much of it has to do with the Ardent being at...

I was arguing/discussing with my manager at lunch today about the d20 rules system (using D&D for examples). His claim was that d20 isn't an elegant system, compared to things like Fudge (never heard of it), because of the large amount of rules and sub-systems that get added on top of the main...

:confused: You can only take a full defense action in melee? Really? Wow. Can anyone provide a PHB reference for this?

I've played with a variety of DMs since the debut of 3e, as well as DMed myself, and here are the rules I've never applied or seen applied, in no particular order: - Favored classes and multiclass XP penalties - Paladin/Monk multiclass restrictions - Massive damage rules (You know, I thought...

Well of course, but it seems to me the context here shouldn't be ignored. The original post was in reference to the portrayal of women in fantasy art. Basically, the women from the fantasy worlds in the art are portrayed unrealistically compared to how they should be in the fantasy worlds, not...

After reading this entire thread from the beginning, I must say I'm quite surprised by the general response to the original post. I would have expected something more balanced. And I really don't think the comparison between women's chests and magic has any legs to stand on.

I'll add votes for Sixth Sense, Fight Club, and The Game. I remember being really surprised by one or more somethings in Memento, but I forget what. And finally there's Magnolia. Biggest "What the hell?!" moment ever.

How about a giant mutant cockroach trapped forever inside the body of a halfling, with superpowers that only work thanks to the unique sensation of his specially made Telfon 9 underpants, who spends a lot of time working out these strange unusual "mammalian urges," as he puts it? That's what...

Well thanks for all the replies. Here are my thoughts... I really have never seen any class as requiring more magical protections than others, so all this talk of monks surprises me. I've always seen things as "your equipment is worth this much, focus it on whatever you want." Anyway, I plan on...

I'm also unsure as to what Jondor might mean opposite of BAB. Anyway, I've been searching for solutions to my problem at other locations as well, and something that comes up often but hasn't really been mentioned here is a dodge bonus of BAB/2. This seems to actually work if armor provides AC...

While the idea of stacking the bonus with armor and shields is interesting, I'm mainly looking for an equation or table that's different from what's in Unearthed Arcana. Something that will prevent my Wizard multiclassing to Fighter problem I mentioned.

I'm gonna start a new normal-magic but very-low-magic-item campaign, and I'm faced with the problem of BABs that increase with level, but ACs that don't. With few magic items available, everything the players face will eventually be able to hit them all the time. I figure a class defense bonus...

Please bear with me, this could take a while to explain. I'd like to know if a given Exalted character should still be Exalted after events that transpired during the last game I ran. I run a multi-genre planes-hopping campaign where the characters all work for a military organization in charge...

I'll go with anything that has "Smeg" in it... Smeg, Smeghead, Smeg Off, Smegging Hell...

So here I am mixing different sources, and I want the Force skills from Star Wars to be affected by Spell Resistance. For a while, the caster level check formula for beating SR has been 1d20 + total Force-using class levels. However, one of my players made an interesting point. Unlike...

Used a feat to get a second familiar. I had a rat named Marlowe and a squirrel named Jinx (had to restrain myself not to call him Jacob). They'd spend most of their time playing hide and seek and running after each other... on me. Imagine meeting a halfling wizard who doesn't seem to notice the...

Trying to come up with a general technology level table for my multi-dimensional campaign, and I could use some help. I know I'm missing some important stuff. Class T, for example, is empty, and, ironically, I have no idea what technology characterizes the Middle Ages. Can those who know a lot...
