Not to mention things like whips that are resolved as ranged attacks.

Especially because a large part of the poison's cost is (IMO) meant to reflect the difficulty in getting the ingredients. If you want purple worm venom, someone is going to have to go kill a purple worm for you, and that isn't easy (or cheap). It's like ordering a filet mignon at a restaurant...

I think it would be fun to keep that "roll d3" for number of hits. You could make each head deal 1d4. That way, average damage is 2d4, which is not particulary broken. Plus, you get cool suspense when you crit and stuff.

I'm not certain, but I think that the spirit of the class is that your Kensai starts out with a masterwork weapon, and then it gains abilities as he levels up. If not, you'll get some weird situations. For instance, if your sword gets broken, and the Kensai gets another one, what abilities...

What happened to your sig? Did someone translate it and get offended?

Also, the thaumaturgist prc 5th level ability "planar cohort" essentially gives you leadership and allows you have an equivalent ecl celestial (or any extraplanar being you can call with summon planar ally).

I think that's kind of in keeping with the theory of a monk. He fights this huge beast, no one can hit it, no one can hurt it. With a lucky shot, the monk strikes a pressure point on the toe, and the dragon freezes up for a second. After the battle, the dumbfounded party looks at him, he bows...

Makes me think, what if there is some demented wizard out there.... Round 1: Gate in Balor Round 2: Gate in Solar The 2 creatures stare at each other, hate evident. Wizard "Ok you 2, make sweet love" Both: "What?!?!" Unable to resist, they collaspse on the floor in a heap of writhing flesh...

There's no set rules. The arcane archer has the imbue arrow supernatural ability, which lets him cast an area-effect spell on his arrow and then shoot it as a standard action, which would work for your fireball idea. If you just want some cool spell arrows, I'd probably compare it similar...

Sorry just thinking of GFunk's story hour where his sorc would shapechange into a bodak and kill everything b/c it had to make a dc 28 fort save due to her hd/high charisma. I would say that ruling is inaccurate, it makes shapechange and polymorph ghetto spells. "Finally, I am a great red...

I think blade barrier has been cleared up. The "slashing blades" is descriptive text. The blades themselves are force effects, so deal force damage just like spiritual weapon and magic missile. That being said, I think there are spells where DR definitely applies. Ice storm does "2d6...

For Jane - I'd say that's fine. Assassins are just as much casters as paladins or rangers are in my opinion. For raising Assassain caster level - have to look up rules for epic prestige class progression, since the book doesn't provide spell progression after 10th. For Bob, not that it...

Also, the PHB states that a large creature making an attack can "use any square it occupies for purposes of determining cover." So if you are large and your ally is in front of you, your enemy may not get cover depending on which square he's in.

I'm pretty sure penalties from the same spell don't stack. I know the PHB specifically mentions ray of enfeeblement as a spell that does not stack with itself.

I agree except for abandoning his allies. Granted, paladins are a special case, but if a paladin felt like the party needed to retreat (a reasonable suggestion, especially since we're doing hit and run on a city with an insanely large garrison), and he sounded it, I still don't think he'd just...

The one I thought of is that hexblade can actually take arcane archer at 6th level, which is one level earlier than any other character. Other than that, they seem pretty decent, kind of like a paladin but without having to be a big wuss. Hexblade/rogue seems pretty cool, evasion for all...

I would also have to say combat casting. The feat is pretty much obsolete with skill focus (concentration). Hmm... I'll take 1 less on casting defensively, which after 10th level I can pretty much do for free anyway, and I get +3 on all other concentration checks.

I think it's a spell that needs to be adjudicated before it's cast. Because, like I said, the word "reasonable" is where all the arguements come in. If someone told me to leave battle, I wouldn't put myself in harm's way to do it, that's not something my character would do, and since he's not...

I'd switch his con and dex scores; barbs need a lot of hps to survive. And when he rages, he'll be takin -2 to ac anyway. Also, switch int and cha; extra skill points are useful, being a charasmatic barbarian isn't (unless you want to do some kind of leader, or a lot of rp, but you said min/max).

I don't know if anyone else has the same problem in their campaign, but I think suggestion was a bad idea. I hated in 2nd, I hate it in 3rd. Here is a spell that never fails to start an arguement at the table. Example DM: Ok, the illithid suggests you run away. Me: I'm a paladin, sworn to...
