I'd be surprised. The language seems quite deliberate. UAB is not Flurry. UAB certainly applied whenever you were using an unarmed attack (or those few monk weapons, by special note). However, Flurry in 3.0 is listed under the "Unarmed Strike" subheading. It's was not listed as a general...

Uh, you need to delve a little more into core definitions. Pull out your PHB and read the glossary--there's a lot of juicy rule goodness in there. An unarmed strike is one thing that can be delivered by an unarmed attack. You can think about it like a weapon if you need to (although it's...

Here is my post from a related thread just today: Disarm is accomplished with unarmed strikes or weapons, thus you can use it in a flurry. Trip does not. It uses an unarmed (touch) attack to deliver a trip--not an unarmed strike. Starting a grapple also is not accomplished with either an...

Eh? Maybe I was misunderstanding what you were saying. Weren't you saying: You pin successfully on your turn. Your now pinned foe fails to break the pin on their turn. On your next turn, you are free to act on the still pinned foe and don't have to make a grapple check to maintain the pin...

While pinning, "You can’t draw or use a weapon (against the pinned character or any other character)" You can "Damage Your Opponent" while pinning, but without Improved Grab (or being a monk), it looks to me like the damage is nonlethal. And keep in mind that creatures with natural weapons...

No, the duration of the pin is for 1 round from the time you take the "Pin Your Opponent" grapple action. When the pinned foe then tries the "Break Another's Pin," the consequence of failing is not resetting the 1-round pin timer. You do need to burn a grapple check each round to maintain the...

Our group just fully realized this recently, and at first I too chafed at this. But, after thinking about it, I really think it's much more balanced. The lack of actions available to the pinned foe and the extra -4 to AC are pretty good to have to waste an attack for. In particular, since the...

Agreed. The mechanic is well-balanced, which is the point I was trying to make by referring to your previous example. The encumbrance category is altered when the size differs. As you say, only the encumbrance category is altered. There is no mention that the size is considered to be or...

You seem to be implying that without EWP or MWP you can indeed wield it one-handed with two hands in an non-proficient manner (taking the -4). I disagree. You are wielding it two-handed (non-proficiently) in a very similar manner to being at a size differential with a weapon (see below). The...

I have to agree with Hyp here nearly 100%. In particular, this part of the FAQ in the lance question: Completely conflicts with the 3.5 SRD (my emphasis): It says nothing about how the weapon is being used at the time. Now, my only minor nitpick is that the 'two-handed' wording, is in fact...

Re: revisions to be posted in the SRD This is good news, of course. I personally have no beef with them wanting to do revised editions. As mentioned several times in this thread, the size of the errata and FAQ certainly warrant some major print changes. Perhaps this is why the SRD has never...

Ahhhh... OK. I recommend putting this somewhere obvious, like on the page that you get when hitting the search button or in the FAQ (I think I checked there for something like this, if I missed it, pass me a clue fish). There was a page that popped up when I hit search before registering...

I get a scary page saying I'm trying to access an admin function when I hit the search button (ok, it's not that scary). Is this turned off on the site?
