I see... To be honest I took Red Capote from SMT:Nocturne. There is a matador demon that has that move and I believe it increases his dodge ability. Thanks for the correction.

I was thinking somewhere along the lines of a bluff for the cape or whatever to possibly make the opponent lose dex to AC and then the strike itself does ability damage instead of pure hitpoint. I could see a rogue working but I didn't want sneak attack and thought maybe being able to target...

I was wondering if there were any matador type classes out there. A character that instead of a shield or second weapon uses a device of sorts in his off hand to mislead or confuse opponents while focusing mainly on debilitating strikes rather than raw damage with the primary weapon.

I think Snake's Swiftness (mass) is a swift action spell in the miniatures handbook. If a DM allowed that spell during a standard game then -all allies- would be getting 2 extra attacks per round that the caster could keep putting out 2 of those spells. I think that would be kind of a bad thing...

Depending on the 'arena' you could do well with hired archers. The Druid / wolf would be a decent idea but if others take a potion of fly also the wolf wouldn't have much to do. If you rp a little up to the place where combat takes place if the arena is outside you could easily set up an...

Right, I guess you weren't really going either way on that one. I apologize for my assumption.

You're usually for a strict reading of the rules regardless if it makes sense or not. Why a change on this topic?

The morningstar is an excellent weapon and the weapon I chose most often. It does decent damage and has the ability to overcome 2 different types of DR. It's the perfect weapon for dealing with undead and still effective against almost everything else. There's also a decent chance to find a...

I thought critical and sneak attack were pretty much the same. Being immune to critcals makes one immune to sneak attacks. I didn't know that that was a spell. I haven't read my books in awhile and thought it might have been a class ability.

Doesn't the Warmage (or somesuch) have an ability to hurl a weapon and use the result of a single die roll to decide whether or not a critical is determined for everyone in a line?

I think it's a Crusader (base class) from Bo9S. As long as you keep making a fortitude save DC 10 + hitpoint total below 0 you can continue to fight. A failed save results in instant death... I haven't read it in awhile but I think that's the basic idea behind that class.

You must be in the same line of work as me... D&D is a game of imagination (with guidelines). It would still be a game of imagination even if it didn't have the name. D&D itself has survived for 30+ years because it is a familiar name. I daresay that everyone knows the name D&D for some reason...

I'm surprised... I thank everyone here for the support. I admit that I had expected it to be more split between myself and the DM. I have been saying a lot lately that there is always another side to every story. In this case there would be 4 or 5 (depending if you would count the DM and his...

I've finally called it quits. The week before Sunday, April 1st was the last I will game with the group I was in. The last straw was a uh... discussion on tumbling. Monk: "I'm tumbling into melee with the ogre. I got a 19 on the check." *Johnson: "You tumble in but the org makes an attack of...

If you think that the % chance should go up 10% per level then just assign the undead a DC and have the cleric roll. Then add 2x Cleric level to the roll and compare it to the DC. Say you give normal skeletons a DC of 15. A first level cleric would need a roll of 13 to match the DC (roll of 13...

Well.... it probably works along the lines of the babblefish from The Hitchhiker's Guide. You shove the thing into your ear and it translates 2 or 3 selected languages for you...

DC 60 sounds reasonable enough for an item of 300,000gp. Level 20 Mage 23 ranks +5 Intelligence +3 skill focus +2 Masterwork Tools +? Intelligence boosting items +2? Aid Another (if allowed) ____ 33 - ~40 That keeps it pretty much out of the hands of non-epic characters. If there is a feat...

The 1e Barbarian could use magic at later levels.

I'm pretty sure that all planes are different in shape. Some would probably be discs, The astral(?) plane is more of a void type where movement is like flying and you propel yourself with thought and the elemental planes all have there own modes of movement in an infinite(?) volume of the native...

5 ranks in spellcraft gives a +2 synergy to UMD when dealing with scrolls. And I believe the Magical aptitude feat gives a +2 to spellcraft and UMD.
