There's already a bunch of conditions to choose from, but more doesn't sound like a bad idea! Accident Prone: 15% chance to fall prone when moving more than 5ft or if mounted, whenever mount is moving. Falls prone at end of move action. Barking: -5 to all move silently and hide checks...

Isn't Knock Down a feat only for gods?

You know, I asked this same question a while back. There really isn't anything in RAW to directly oppose it, but it can open a can of worms with certain special abilities such as Spell Storing, Merciful, and Valorous.

I often have that gripe as well. While yes, WotC provides a few good articles of how to run an Evil campaign, the most "mature content warning" of any D&D game, it doesn't have anything for a grungy noir campaign or any crime drama campaign. However, this isn't their fault. The reason D&D...

Uh, they also tend to be very antisocial and xenophobic. Even those dragons that like people rarely reveal themselves as dragons, instead choosing to take the form of animals and kindly old men. And though the metallic dragons horde treasure like any dragon, they aren't as motivated by greed...

That sounds like a TERRIBLE idea. I think my players would literally crucify me. They would erect a wooden cross or, more likely, tie me to a large tree and let me sit there until I awarded them treasure based on a fixed-rate, movable currency system. The only way that would fly is if the local...

What, it's not good enough to knock them all down in a single round? The rest of your party will mop the floor with them in a matter of rounds! They have to waste their move action to stand, so all non-adjacent combatants get free attacks. Standing from prone provokes an attack of opportunity...

Dead on to what RUMBLETiGER said, but more to the point: players don't know the details of their failed spot checks by rolling poorly on a spot check. Don't think so much as a DM, take a second to put yourself in the mind of a player. DM: "You're walking threw an old churchyard, everyone roll...

RAW says no. The class levels from warrior provide weapon proficiency, only the racial weapon proficiency and the weapons listed in the monster's description determine the skeleton's weapon proficiency. But considering that a skeleton is a template, you can add the template to a warrior wielding...

In our group, it tends to be used so that players can teleport to places they've never been. When I DM, merchants don't regularly sell these scrolls and most cities outright prohibit the sale of these scrolls as a precaution against smugglers. They're pretty common on the black market, but it's...

Logical ability scores aside, why exactly do you NEED the stats of a five year old girl? Is she going to be fighting your group's Half-orc Warblade in the thunderdome? While it may be amusing to roll the initiative and attack rolls in this hypothetical winner-takes-all death match, I think you...

I would also argue in favor of saying a 5-ft step cannot exceed 5-ft. There are no exceptions made in the 5ft step description. Also note that taking 5-ft steps in mid-air requires Good or Perfect maneuverability as creatures with less than that must maintain a minimum forward speed of half...

In my book, if they roll up a combat and win, there's an EXP reward. If they choose to avoid combat or kill the enemy in RP, why the flanking hell did we spend 30 min to an hour for creation time? I'm not awarding exp for that! If my players aren't using their 3rd level abilities, why advance...

I play around with it every now and then, but I find it important to award role playing experience for every coin they earn. If they earn 1/10th the gold of a CR 1 encounter, they gain 1/10th the experience of a CR 1 encounter.

Oh, it's not okay, from a moral standpoint woman-exploits-man is completely evil. It's just less cliche prostitute than the victimized woman angle. (I don't think this is related to opinions on prudish or libertine beliefs, so I hope this is okay to answer.)

Amen. Ah, one of those types, eh? I was lucky enough that the only player in my group that wanted to play a prostitute was a girl and she turned it into a woman-exploits-man character. Not to say that a guy with incredible devotion to his character couldn't pull it off, too, but at the end of...

Upon research, I can add Star Elf from Unapproachable East and Spellscale from Races of Dragon to the races already listed. Also, it's funny to see people being so shy on the matter. What's so innocent about D&D that sex becomes a taboo topic? D&D is a limitless medium of cultural...

I don't think the OP is speaking of level 1-2, this thread is about pre-Shock Trooper, which is anything below 6th level. I imagine the OP wants to be using that Power Attack feat for levels 3-5 when a CR 4 Rhinoceros encounter (avg 76 hp) is a realistic possibility.

I don't think a whore would be very high level. It's really just a human with a couple levels in commoner (or maybe expert if you think highly of prostitution). If she's a really good whore, her stats might justify having elite array. With that in mind, there are a few books that might help...

I'm not putting so much emphasis upon the king, yet. Their alignment is up to them to decide as they choose the path they follow. The king will ask things of them and they choose whether or not to act as tyrants enforcing the will of their king or peacemakers who work with the people for the...
