    New combat questions

    1a. No. It's the act of Bullrushing itself that provokes the AoO, not necessarily the movement of bullrushing. So no bonus to AC. 1b. Yes. As he pushes the target back, AoOs there would be due to the movement so it would apply. 2. Yes. Stand-up is a move-equivalent action. To attack is a...

    MT, PCgen, etc

    DM's Familiar (www.paladinpgm.com/dmf) is a 17Meg download. It's had lots and lots of downloads in 3 short months. D&D players seem very willing to download large files in my opinion. Plenty of people seem to like PCGen. The java engine for that was a pretty large download as well as I...

    After 20', does light just fizzle out?

    The light ends at 20 feet. At 20 feet you can see a target just fine, at 21' 1" the target is in total darkness. Not very realistic but those are the rules. All the other suggestions are house rules not actual rules and they don't seem worth the trouble to me. Same thing goes for all other...

    Invisible Bull Rush

    AoO says any area into which you can make a melee attack. It doesn't say anything about having to see the target or know that the target is there. So I'd say, yes, you get to make an attack of opportunity. You still have to deal with the invisibility though (guess which hex the target is in, etc.)

    invisibity and sneak attacks

    A nice even division of folks thinking both ways. My unofficial 2 cents: You become invisible after you "attack". This, in my reading, is referring to the "attack" action, not the swinging of a sword. So whatever the "attack" is, the sneak attack damage applies to it. In this case, the...

    Combat utility?

    There's DM's Familiar but it's not free. If you really want to speed up your combat though, you owe it to yourself to check it out (it's my product so I have to push it). There's RolePlayingMaster, it's free for now (Luke keeps talking about an alpha, beta, and final release. I don't know if...

    AoO questions...

    I think you have to ignore the instrument of choice if you are going to be fair to the bard players. Consider: My bard sings. He can walk around with a sword in hand. He can make AoOs. Your bard plays the flute. He cannot have sword in hand. He cannot make AoO with his sword since he...

    DM's Familiar: New Version

    The included Help file would have answered the majority of these questions. Each screen in DMF has a little button with a "?" on it. Hold the mouse over the button, a tooltip will say "Help". Click it. You'll get a topic telling you how the screen works. Hold your mouse over the button, you'll...

    DM's Familiar: New Version

    Hmm, both of those links for me pop up a form that gets your email. Don't know why it wouldn't work for you. Checking my log, I see 100+ downloads today so it must be working for someone. Don't you just love computers? Anyways, here are the direct links for you. Maybe they'll work better. Full...

    DM's Familiar: New Version

    Do you remember where you found that broken link? I'd like to fix it but can't find it anywhere. As opposed to what? I made up a dummy PC so that users would see something besides a blank screen when opening the PC/NPC form. You're on a fairly old version. You can install the update from the...
