It's still there. There are characters with UD in the Shackled City adventure path in Dungeon. The abilities from the first two levels of UD are listed under UD and Trap Sense is listed separately. Hmm. That makes me wonder if UD and Trap Sense stack in 3.5 or if they're treated as separate...

As bad as F.A.T.A.L. is, it's available as a free download on the internet. I actually spent money on Space Opera, though. I never actually played it, but I remember you had to pick particular college courses for your character in order to have certain occupations. MadBlue

Re: Re: RE: Ranger changes The writeup of Manyshot on the WotC site (from 2/25) says "A 6th-level ranger who has chosen the archery combat style is treated as having Manyshot even if he does not have the prerequisites for it, but only when he is wearing light or no armor", but it's possible...

Evasion doesn't stack (same thing with Monk and Rogue Evasion). I agree with you about Uncanny Dodge. My only concern about the 3.5 Ranger is that the drop in HD and the special abilities it gets make Archery a more attractive combat style path to follow than TWF is - and since the player has...

Well, they already get a good Fort save. The other two aren't increasing any. We haven't heard anything about any special abilities that will affect Ranger saving throws or anything else that would otherwise reduce their chances of losing HP - and we've heard about a lot of things the 3.5 Ranger...

Shinto and Buddhism (particularly Shingon) are the most popular religions. Japanese people don't tend to be particularly religious, though, although people have Shinto groundbreaking and wedding ceremonies and Buddhist funerals - and I mean the same people. Weekly services, per se, aren't...

I teach at a Junior High School in Japan. Maybe I can give some suggestions. Alzrius gave some good advice. Sports Day (in fall) and Culture Day (in spring) are also very big events in Jr. and Sr. High. At age 13-15, the characters would be 1st to 3rd year Jr. High students, or in the first...

Well, even with d10 HD, you're not going to be able to avoid - or dish out - damage like a well armored Fighter, nor are you going to be able to take a pounding and reduce damage like a Barbarian. Rangers aren't Tanks in 3e. Of course, if the DM is always throwing challenges that can only be...

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree that there's room for a non-spellcasting wilderness scout/warrior/hunter. I'd really like to see a blurb in the DMG about swapping out Ranger spells for some other ability, as an example of how to alter PHB classes. It would be nice to see a standardized alt.Ranger...

No, they don't get it (not according to Flood Season, anyway). IMHO Uncanny Dodge would be more appropriate, since it would directly benefit a Ranger in melee and would balance out the d8, making TWF a more viable option (also it would bring back the 1e tradition of Rangers being difficult to...

Well, actually, my point was that a 3.5 Ranger is not going to be as good in combat at 1st level as a 3.0 Ranger. I'm not talking about comparing the combat effectiveness to other classes. As far as being "more of a Ranger", the Ranger is being redefined in 3.5 - or rather, the focus is being...

Well, Fighters are pretty versatile. A Fighter with Dodge-related Feats is a really good hit-and-run combatant and a Fighter with ranged weapon-related Feats and Weapon Specialization is the ultimate ranged combatant. But I agree that we'll have to see the whole 1-20 package. It's pretty clear...

Re: Re: BAB +1/level What makes the Fighter a Tank isn't just the HD, it's the HD, the heavy armor and the Feats. Also, being restricted to lighter armor, the Ranger is going to be hit more often than the Fighter - or the Paladin for that matter. That same d10 is going to go farther for the...

Re: Re: The 3.5 Rogue According to "Life's Bazaar", the "Traps" ability will be called "Trapfinding" in 3.5. "Trap Sense" is a higher level Rogue (and, according to "Flood Season", Barbarian) ability. MadBlue

Weather forecasting is part of Knowledge (Nature) in 3e. Of course Rangers have access to that too. I think the main reason why "Wilderness Lore" is being renamed "Survival" in 3.5 is because it's a bit of a misnomer. Much of what amounts to "lore" is pretty much covered by Knowledge (Nature)...

Well, you don't have to convince me that Aragorn is the original Ranger archetype, but the archetype has broadened a bit since then, a lot of it having to do with the way the Ranger has been portrayed in novels, and in other RPGs and computer games, not just D&D. In any case, the ultimate...

You could make that argument for most of the combat-related classes: Rogues get Sneak Attack Paladins get an intelligent mount Barbarians get Rage Monks get unarmed attacks Rangers get TWF or Archery Samurai get their Daisho and bonus Feats by clan Sohei get Ki-Frenzy Fighters get a choice...
