Yes, flat-footed does only apply at the beginning of combat....normally. However, with flick of the wrist, you can catch someone flat-footed after the first round of combat, and also you have a very good chance to beat your opponent's initiative on the first round of combat as an Iajutsu...

"Luck of the Heroes effect 100% of the saves the player will encounter. " This is very much untrue... Example: I have a 14th level sor1/bbn2/ftr2/trb.prot.2/drag.disc.7 (yes, he's a munchkin...I'm teaching the DM a lesson ;-)) with a +32 fort save. The highest fort DC he's encountered yet has...

Actually...in 3e, you can go back in time ;-) If someone walks away from you, and then after that decides that he would like to do something else that round, you get a retroactive attack of opportunity on him because he did something other than move in the round. Not that that means anything...

Actually, feats are (almost) always worth 4k on an item, and 8k if they don't take up a spot. Since these obviously don't take up a spot, and also since they don't die in an antimagic field, I'd say all feats are equal to about 10000 gold. Furthermore, you're forgetting that the luckstone adds...

Oh, I forgot the crucial part of that combo.... For flick of the wrist, just get a single sun blade. Sun blades can be used by people who are proficient in bastard sword or in short sword, and works as a light weapon regardless. Since katana is the same thing as a bastard sword, only the most...

By the same logic....would a tank fighter be better served by wis +2, chr +2, and int +2 item, or a str +4 item? I'd definitely take the str +4 item, if I had to choose...yet the total bonuses of the other items add up to a feater bonus (and also cost less). Same thing with the feats...naming...

Oh, okay. Someone mentioned halflings earlier, and then mentioned luck bonuses and luck of heroes and all that, and all I remembered was them getting a +1 and not if it was named or not (cause I never paid attention to the names on the halfling bonus, figuring that even if it was a 'luck' bonus...

Luck of heroes, if it is left a luck bonus, is not balanced with the other +2 to one save feats. This is because in 3e, most every bonus you get is done as bonus squared (for magic items, for example) to determine how good it is and all that. The stacking rules enforce this. So luck of...

Aww cmon... I'm surprised nobody has posted a dragon disciple smackdown, because I've got one that does 160 average damage in a single charge attack, and that's only at 13th level, and also without optimum stuff, and also only ona single attack! (no haste, no full round attack w/wild fighting...

Actually, what it does (as far as I can tell), is convert a move-equivalent into a partial action. So what you can do is take two attacks at your full BAB, take an attack and cast a spell in the same round, etc. etc.

I think it says in the feat (at least, in one version of it), that they are nauseated for one _additional_ round. This means "in addition to the round in which they are stunned." ...So yeah, that's why

If you really want to go nutso with an iajutsu master, you can do a lot better than you've done here... First of all, they get free weapon finesse. Don't go with high str, go with high dex. This way, you get initiative, AC, attack, skill bonuses, etc. etc., and all you lose is a little...

only at first level? Since when? Seems to me that, if nothing else, the fact that 'this feat can be taken multiple times' would suggest that that isn't true. Or maybe that it doesn't mention that it can only be taken at first level in the description of the feat... ;-) (You can take...

Regarding the earlier comment about wealth for characters with monster races... I believe that it is explicitly stated in the DMG that you don't get extra wealth, etc. for the levels you gave up to be a monster race, so if you're going by the rules (or at least by those rules) then the human...

What? Bardic music is the only cool ability for bards? Tsk tsk.... You should never underestimate the coolness of bardic knowledge...I've got a bard with incredible intelligence (I've put as much effort into raising it as I have into charisma), some feats, items, etc. wh ohas a +31 on all his...

All these prestige domains, and CELERITY is the one you guys think is overpowered? Try this on for size... high level bard, maxed-out in chr (with +6 items and books and such), wants some good saves... knowledge religion is a class skill for bards. demons, devils, slaads, celestials, etc. can...

I HATE CONCENTRATION!!!! ...So much so that I have never, and will never, give any of my characters any ranks in it whatsoever (even my bard that has ranks in every single skill, except concentration and read lips (read lips cause I couldnt, concentration cause I won't). I personally think it...

There's some precedent for this... 1) drunken master from sword & fist ...course, thats only for drunken masters, but you could get a level in that or something. 2) 'celebrate' spell from magic of faerun-effects vary depending on drunkenness, including -2 to int, wis and dex, nauseated, up to...

Er, sorry... People were mentioning losing ability scores above, talking about whether you would be able to have your INT (for example) lowered to 0 if you have an inherent bonus, and I said that yes you probably should be able to (since once you get it, it's not so much treated as a bonus as...

Whoa... Okay, people seem to baking this a little too far ;-) Here's how I think it ought to be.... First of all, it is stated clearly that inherent bonuses cap at +5, so you don't need to worry about someone stacking up on a +2, a +4, and a +1 and ending up with a +7 bonus. Since the cap is...
