Really, having looked at a the BIG PICTURE of DnD, meaning comparisons to other ways of obtaining CA, published encounters, other powers and abilities from monsters and classes, I am really going with Xorn here. We can JUST focus in on the rules that concern stealth and concealment/cover, and...

I have been following both sides, listening to all. And I have come to a conclusion. The problem with the Stealth rules as written, is that they make NO distinction between Stealth in or out of Combat, nearly every other skill does! I, like Xorn, began questioning how it LOOKED like the skill...

I completely agree! But I also believe that no usage of a skill should ever be a forgone conclusion unless you are THAT GOOD. I mean, Master McStealthFu, the Epic Ninja should KNOW that he is sneaking past those dumb goblins, but Stabby McGee, Level 2 Halfling Rogue should not, even in combat...

I like it! I have been going through just such alternatives in my mind! However... the removal of the impact of a character's Stealth value, and the enemies Perception value does not sit well with me. However, I COMPLETELY agree with it being a trained only usage of the skill! I was actually...

It's a move action to pull a item from the quiver, unless said item is an arrow or other ammunition for your ranger weapon, then it's free. The wand bracelet is a free action to retrieve an item, and a single move to exchange the item in your hand for another in the bracelet (always netting you...

Now, this is not a rules citation, but a in-world logic decision. My apologies if it is unwelcome. A specific weapon CAN be upgraded, th MIC says so, but the specific weapon's traits cannot be added to another already existing weapon. Namely Echoblade is not an enchantable modifier. Why...

If you wanted one, I would say make it a +2 armor enhancement. Would come out to near the same pricepoints and effectiveness I do believe. +1 Mithral Fullplate = 11,500 +1 Dragonhide (Size Category Lighter [+2 bonus]) = 12,300 Of course, the downside is that Mithral Fullplate will be WAY...

There is none to my knowledge. And why would you need one when there is Mithral? Edit: AH, for Druids. NVM

First off, may I ask where you are getting the rule that 2 sources of Shaken = Frightened? The SRD simply states... Secondy, should this rule actually exist, remember the frightened state would only last for one round, as intimidate only "shakens" for one round, and would return to shaken only...

Whenever I have seen a magic spell or effect, much like the Warlock's Eldritch Blast, I have ruled it a simply "magic damage". It lacks an element, or energy type as they are called, and does not by any means deal physical damage. So, indeed, no ER or DR can stop it. Much like the well-loved...

I figure the leader "owns" the horses. Seems like a good tribal setup, The warlord owns the horses, the warriors get to ride them.

I do in Races of Stone. ;)

OK, hmmm, I like the point about them being unlikely to fight without the rider making checks, and that they will be unlikely to fight past their rider's death. However, a goblin riding a worg, should definitely be an encounter with one goblin and one worg, but this could be justified in the...

Yes, you are. Magic Item Compendium, page. 6. [In reference to a Mithral Breastplate] "Treated as light armor for the purposes of moveent, proficiency, and other limitations."

I would refer you to the rules on "Relics" in the magic item compendium, where it states that the base functionality of the weapon can be upgraded like any other magic weapon, disregarding any other special abilities granted by either qualifying for the relic or otherwise. For example, the Axe...

Absolutely, good sir. If your in melee, your a -4 to hit with any ranged due to the movements and timing issues. He was discussing cover, not firing into melee.

Is the idea here to allow yourself a faster descent? Seems an odd situation, but just in case you REALLY have to get to the ground in the next 10 seconds... I would say no. The spell Featherfall does indeed grant a will-save to negate, should the subject of the spell for some reason not want...

OK, so I want to run an encounter with my PC's fighting some Nomadic Horsemen. So I figure, 4 lvl 1 warriors with a lvl 3 PC leveled Leader. But their Horsemen, right, so I figure Light Warhorses for all. Light Warhorses are CR1. But whats the ECL of this encounter? Am I looking at an encounter...

Allo all! First time poster, long time lurker! So, I am intrigued as to the Kyton's (Chain Devil) "Dancing Chains" ability. It is worded as so from the SRD 3.5. "Dancing Chains (Su): A chain devil’s most awesome attack is its ability to control up to four chains within 20 feet as a standard...
