Thanks Looks like others are interested in the same subject, which is good to see. I agree that a small bonus to AC is a big deal, but so is Cleave. I mean, as long as there are multiple opponents, and I think I will kill one of them, cleave is good. If we're fighting a single high CR...

Hi all -- My newest character (a human fighter named Jonan) is starting to take shape. I like to make things somewhat interesting, so even though I wanted to play a straight fighter, I didn't go the "normal" fighter route -- picking a feat chain and following it, specializing in a single...

Shield, yes My fighter uses a glaive and has quickdraw. When it's time to mix it up in close, he can drop the glaive, pull a 1H melee weapon and a shield and still attack (drop = free, draw = free, shield = MEA). Or, of course, he can draw the 2H sword and full attack (just that's not high...

All your Dave are belong ... One more Dave for the ages.

Aye. One more Dave for the list. (Dave you idiot, you were supposed to reply, not start a new thread. Mods, please delete)

Also, realize that sneak attack doesn't necessarily mean sneaky -- it just means striking at the right time to hit a little harder. Flanking, for example, leads to sneak attack. A bluff can lead to a sneak attack. A flatfooted/surprised opponent can be sneak-attacked. You don't have to be...

Ignored != Invisible I'm walking around, thinking I'm completely safe. I feel a brush of air, and instinctively I twist a little, and then when I feel the pressure of something actually hitting my neck, my muscles clench, I shrug my shoulders, I duck a little, I twist a little, and instead of...

Sage Advice Ok, I mailed the sage. Here's his response: Q: When do you get AoO's as a result of a bull rush? A: When the bull-rushing creature moves (assuming you threaten the space creature leaves). You might also get an AoO when the bull rushed creatures moves, provided you threaten the...

Another balancing factor for this spell (or any) is exact placement of the circles. It can be hard to place the spell such that only enemies are caught in it. In the heat of combat, can you really exactly count what spot on the ground, 50 feet away from you, will catch all the bad guys but...

Re: Ah yes... Well, what do you know? *sigh* That's what I get for using the SRD to resolve my questions. So, I think it's pretty clear the movement is what causes the AoO in a bull rush. Also, if you're only going 5' in your bull rush, you won't draw an AoO as a 5' move never draws AoO...

Hi all -- This came up in another thread, and I appreciate the responses I got (especially from DMFTodd who made me see things in a new way). I'm hoping with a new message title I can get a little more input and come to a decision with my DM about how to handle this next time it comes up. The...

Are you sure? Here's the wording from SRD (don't have PHB in front of me): "First, the combatant moves into the defender's space. Moving in this way provokes an attack of opportunity from each foe that threatens the combatant, probably including the defender." It seems like the only reason...

Thanks for all the replies, folks. Looks like about how we interpreted things (except for my DM's on-the-spot rule about subdual damage not being enough to stop the grapple).

My gaming group has started a new campaign, and with it, some new rules have been exercised. As such, we have some new questions. I did some searching around and couldn't find any definitive answers on these topics, so I thought I'd post. 1. Bull Rush + Mobility If a combatant with Mobility...

Many Bothans died to get you that information.

This "American at work" appreciates the bump. Neat stuff!
