    Rogues flanking at range?

    Although the kraken rogue itself is 60 feet away from the target, the melee attack itself originates from within 30 feet of the target. The attack doesn't start at the kraken rogue, it starts at the end of the tentacle (where the tentacle can actually hit you and you could grab it), otherwise...

    Rogues flanking at range?

    I also disagree with Patryn's interpretation, but as we've argued before (over the exact same interpretations) the +2 flanking bonus seems to be a sticking point with you. It's just like having a situational modifier for being on higher ground, whether you enact an action which requires the...

    Rogues flanking at range?

    You can't sneak attack from beyond 30 feet within the standard rules, and that's not what you're showing. What you're showing is that a spell effect that allows you to make melee touch attacks at range from yourself can originate beyond the 30 feet limit, but the attack with which the sneak...

    Books pricing themselves out of reach?

    Only one thing you're missing Merric. We might receive our RPG books from the US, but the majority of our novels come from the UK and the price for the same book (especially in paperback) isn't much different in basic numbers but it is a big difference in exchange rate. Example (MMPB): A...

    Need suggestions on a Shapechange compromise.

    The change to Shapechange is in the Player's Handbook v.3.5 Errata. All errata files can be reached by going to the Game Rules section of the WotC D&D page.

    What Game System do you play Rifts with?

    Palladium said right up front when d20 was released that they would be staying with their own rules system and not joining the d20/OGL bandwagon (as a company which has now been going for 20+ years I can't see why they would change their system and alienate the avid fans they have). So by this...

    Reverse Engineering Metamagic Rods

    As for pricing the single use metamagic item, I'd divide the cost of the metamagic rod you're trying to duplicate by 6 (3 [reducing the uses from 3 to 1] x 2 [halving the base cost as the item no longer has unlimited use]) and round to the nearest 500gp or 1,000gp if you want to clean the...

    Okay, what is exactly *is* Grim Tales?

    Actually d20M forces you to multiclass, as each class has only 10 levels. So the 100% pure Strong hero cannot exist from the base classes alone. While GT, by expanding each d20M class to 20 levels, removes the requirement to multiclass, and actually allows the 100% pure Strong hero to exist...

    So what's your gaming experience

    1. 20+ years. 2. Currently D&D 3.5, but have played many games over the years. 3. Too many to count or recall for that matter :)

    Targets: One creature/level, no two of which can be more then 30ft. apart.

    The twisting I'm referring to is that when it says "no two targets", you're redefining targets to mean the two specific targets you pick from all possible targets and no others. That to me infers a twisting of the basic text as written to something approximating "no two specific targets". I hope...

    Targets: One creature/level, no two of which can be more then 30ft. apart.

    You're twisting the words as written. It doesn't say "one target must be within x ft. of another target", which is how your interpretation works, it says "no two targets can be more than x ft. apart". There is quite a large difference in those statements. How could the formulae become more...

    [CA] Practiced Spellcaster, Caster level x prereq, and PrC's

    The Precocious Apprentice feat doesn't follow the specific pattern you mention, as it doesn't allow you to choose where to direct all of the benefits. It gives a bonus spell slot at a set level (no choice, unlike the feat it copies which CAN be taken multiple times) which allows you to cast a...

    Targets: One creature/level, no two of which can be more then 30ft. apart.

    The main reason why this type of spell only has targets, instead of an area of effect, is that you MUST be able to see or touch the targets. If the spell were instead a burst or spread that could effect x number of targets, you wouldn't need to be able to see the targets as both spells can take...

    Why _DON'T_ You Buy Dragon Magazine?

    I think dropping Winning Races to an occasional feature is a mistake. Sure most people aren't going to create 12 new characters per year, but just like the other articles which are staying in every issue not every article will be useful to every person each month. Also the races are not just a...

    How else do you store dice? (Besides dice bags.)

    I store mine in a "Little Bitty" Bin (0.2 litre capacity), I thinks it's starting to affect their performance after such a long time :D

    who all is immune to flanking?

    Flanking itself has nothing specific to do with attacking, flanking is two friendly characters on opposite sides of a creature both of which are threatening that creature. Yes the subtle yet important difference is that the second sentence in the 3.0 version of flanking was added directly to...

    who all is immune to flanking?

    Looks like we might have to agree to disagree, but I'll also try again :) First I'll refer back to the 3.0 flanking text: If you are making a melee attack against a creature, and an ally directly opposite you is threatening the creature, you and your ally flank the creature. You gain a +2...

    who all is immune to flanking?

    You two might have agreed, but I don't find flanking is that poorly defined :) Friendly creatures can only flank an opponent if they are on the opponent's opposite border or opposite corner, and then only creatures that threaten the opponent can be considered for flanking. You can only...
