Hrmm, yet another reason for me to consider trying Firefox. Everyone who uses it seems very satisfied with it, yet I have never even looked at it in use -- I may have to change that :)

My thoughts as well. All the little windows that I have to use to scroll to see if the news within is interesting are getting annoying as hell. If there's any chance of changing back or having a more "text based" display, then please consider it. All these windows are just far too annoying.

Does anyone know of where I can find the age ability modifiers for Children and Adolescents for 3.5e ?

I'm sure I have read several times that if I use knockback to knock someone back on my attack of opportunity, that the foe's movement is then ended. However, there is nothing in the knockback or bullrush rules that state this though. Is there an faq on this?

A discussion that came up at our gaming table, wasn't in concern whether the charmed individual should be earning experience per se, but rather should they be deemed a full party member and be taking a full share? Here are two different sides of this: #1: The party needs a rogue for a...

Are there any rules regarding charmed monsters or people gaining experience while adventuring with the party? Do they gain a full share of experience?

Hrmm, it seems that I am going to answer my own question. The answer is no, as per http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20modern/bp/20060831a "The Brawl feat is separate from Combat Martial Arts, and the two don't stack." Does anyone know if there is a way I can gain the ability to not...

Can Brawling & Combat Martials Arts Feats be combined? Thusly, receiving the +1 to attack and 1d6 damage from Brawling, and the option to deal non-lethal or lethal damage and not provoke an attack of opportunity from Combat Martial Arts?

What the heck did I read? Arrrgg. Yes, with the limit of using it against one target, once per day its very underpowered. I could understand a limit of once per round... but once per day per target. Sheesh. Back to the drawing table...

Revised Build Alas, I have revised the build based on everyone's help. I have actually not taken any prestige classes, as the feat(s) required for them were not at all in line with my build and would only set me back. (The Shadow Thief of Amn was a good suggestion since you essentially gain 1...

Thanks Evermind that makes sense now :) And I am guilty of not reading that whole darn book -- I had to stop reading it when I first got it because I was very unhappy at what I believed were significant game mechanic errors/balances. As a DM, I think the book presents classes and abilities...

Okay I've read through ToB a little more. I thought Island of Blades was a maveuver. Although my DM won't let me use ToB material (I can't say that I blame him), I definately agree that 1 level of some ToB class to get the Island of Blades stance would be the best optimization of the build I...

Those are all some more great ideas... I will be fleshing out the build in a couple days. Just a few random comments: Penetrating Strike. I'm surprised that the Complete Divine's "Death's Ruin" alternative class feature was published, after Dungeonscape's "Penetrating Strike" alternative...

Thanks Darklone... some great ideas there! I'm going to design the build now :) I had looked at Tempest, however a lot of the feats required for it could be better replaced by other feats. Ultimatley it just gives improved chances to hit that I think could be supplimented by other feats.

I am looking for advise for a Sneak Attack optimized rogue. The Rogue's Handbook is dated and doesn't make reference to some of the latest feats and class options since the PHB II. The character I have spec'ed out is human (can't beat that feat and extra skills). The concept is to get into...

There are several other options, PHII allows you to ditch the mount to gain a charging smite ability. I know there are also some other "alternative build" options in some other sourcebook - which I can never find -- its either somewhere else in the PHII or UA (note: I'm not refering to the...

RE: Lava Rule Although this sounds very reasonable, keep in mind that the 20d6 reflects full immersion into the lava. As mentioned earlier in the thread, a fire elemental is light. Accordingly, perhaps only 50% of the 20d6 damage should apply?

Wow MarkB, you're a real evil GM :) There is a valid concern at ensuring this is not overused to ensure everyone doesn't have a pack of dogs in their employ. Using your method of assigning experience to trained animals, would see the party loose a lot of experience to mounted characters using...

I am not aware of any limitations of having trained animals -- ones you have trained via the Handle Animal skill. I'm not sure if it would work well with the rat swarm, but would it not be possible to simply designate the "lead wolf" of a wolf pack as your "animal companion", and the rest of...

Thanks Selganor, I hadn't thought about also tracking Ability and Level drain damage as well.
