Remember, there is no such thing as hitpoints other than a game abstraction, just like levels. So, you won't hear two fighters in character say "I'm 9th level so I could easily defeat you you 1st level twerp". Anyway, it sounds like your DM is being nice. The Heal skill is the skill that...

But I thought you were considered "armed" when you have Improved Unarmed Strike. I noticed this in the Charging vs Tripping thread. I always remembered the 3E rules on tripping saying you suffered an AoO if you attempted a trip period. The 3.5 rules seem to be saying it's the unarmed attack...

I'm trying to stop posting on these forums, but it's hard. However, perhaps it's how I'm feeling now that is a part of the rollplay problem. Yes, perhaps the rulebooks should have added some roleplay advice and "color" rather than just the rules. However, the rules are the rules are the rules...

Forum is acting up :lol: I think that's a tripping weapon you're thinking of, not improved trip

Hehe - true. Actually, I have to come out of lurk for this one. Since it's the unarmed touch attack that technically causes the AoO when tripping, does this mean that monks (or someone with Improved Unarmed Strike) gets to trip without an AoO?

I actually do take everything said with a grain of salt (remember my many references in the other thread about not judgung someone's play style based on a few posts) and I apologize for the friction with SB. It was nothing personal, just like I said in another thread I hate conflict and I...

I spent 4 hours stuck in traffic waiting for a towtruck for my sister in law yesterday so I apologize for my attitude and the words I used. No, I shouldn't speak for everyone, but I don't think my theory that most of us use what we want from the FAQ and discard the rest is that offbase :) And...

I just hope you realize that this is what MOST of us are doing too. Don't want you to think you're doing something different than me for example, or that I feel roleplay is unimportant. I even agree with your earlier statement that certain players play certain characters better than others...

That's not what I meant. The original poster was implying the dice rolls could allow an NPC to TELL a PC what to do. A NPC could use Bluff to lie to a PC and the PC could use SM to determine if he was telling the truth or not. That's legal. An NPC coming up to a PC and saying "I am Elimister...

Fun is the #1 rule :) I try not to lose sight of that (not that I don't, but I try) :) The rest of the stuff is actually my attitude too and I assume the attitude of 99% of the people here. That's why the ceaseless bickering over the FAQ gets sooooo tiresome, because I'm almost sure we're all...

The rest I agree with

As I said - ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL :) Never heard of this Primary Sources rule. I play with one group. I don't play in official tournaments, or anything like that. We play to have fun. If a rules issue comes up, we don't let that bother us to the point that we can't have fun. Thus maybe I'm...

Good thing that the DMG specifically states that you can't have NPCs Bluff or Intimidate PCs (ie, a DM can't say well, he Intimidates you into surrendering). A PC ALWAYS gets to make a choice.

That works too :) See, easy going :)

I'm a really easy going DM. If the first time this came up in my campaign it was for a player trying to avoid the charge I'd be fine with it (and then we have a campaign precedent). If the first time it happened the player was the charger and argued for it, I'd go the other way :) By the...

NM - COMPLETELY misread what he said :)

Want to make it more complicated? Doesn't the tripper take an AoO for trying to trip the charger (I'm really rule rusty right now, but I thought so)? Also, since the charger and the tripper are essentially on the same initiative count (the tripper is just slightly ahead), I don't have much...
