    2 Short Swords or 1 Great Sword?

    TWF vs THW Two-Weapon Fighting will always suck compared to fighting with a Two-Handed Weapon UNLESS: a) you are a rogue AND have a decent sneak attack (+3D6 minimum) AND have TWF AND have Ambidexterity AND have weapon focus yep, that is the only instance that TWF is useful. sorry! anyway, be...

    Please price this mag item

    a pipe organ? my first haunting thought was of the bud light commercial where the two guys can't afford their rent and have to lease out space in their apartment to an organ lady who continually plays arena-based anthems. DM: the goblins start volleying javelins at you. Bard: I start playing...

    The Adventures of the Knights of Spellforge Keep

    sheesh all this Vek vs. Dartan, Vek'd kill him in two rounds talk is just jibberish. We all know Dartan is smarter than to confront Vek head-on! What'd Dartan do? (I feel like I'm moderating a Batman is better than Superman contest, yeah Superman (Vek) is stronger, but Batman is uber-cool and...

    Will save to extinguish fire on self?

    From the DMGp86 "Catching on Fire" and PHB113 "Alchemists' Fire", it seems that attempting to extinguish the flames is optional. Alchemists' Fire: PHB113: "On the round following a direct hit, the target takes an additional 1d6 points of damage. The target <B>CAN</B> take a full-round action...

    Is a druid in wild shape recognized by an animal companion?

    I don't see how this would be any different than training their companion such tasks as "attack", "defend", or "sit". If we put it into perspective, Int 2 isn't a blob, but has some sentient capacity. For instance, a rat has INT2, but they are actually highly trainable and have a fairly good...

    The Adventures of the Knights of Spellforge Keep

    With all of these flashback visits, I feel like I'm watching that game show "It's Your Life". perhaps we'll be graced with a visit from Dartan the Godless soon? I can only imagine he's off scheming of ways to terminally 'off' the dispicable Jamison Crow :) <btw: is Jo'nas played by the same...

    Movement & Linear Obstacles

    In our campaign, you can travel through a space occupied by a friend, provided they are not threatened. If they are threatened, you have to roll a tumble check (DC15). The concept is that your ally will readily move out of your way as you travel through. A 5' square is a pretty large area to...

    thats great Mahali. Now, do you have a reason WHY its 3000, other than because Sesame Street was brought to us by the number three today?

    How a DM can counter cheesy PC tactics w/o using cheesy DM tactics.

    isn't your darkness/blindsight tactic, by your own definition, cheesy? I say fight cheese with more cheese! Otherwise, you'll find yourself to be a one-trick pony, and what fun is riding on an ass all day?

    Deepwood Sniper question

    Isn't the "keen edge" just an extension of the second level ability "magic weapon" where the critical multiplier is improved from X3 to X4?

    Which item should I buy or make?

    karma beads if you have the craft wondrous items feat, then you could make yourself a bead of karma (list price is 5k) otherwise, a periapt of wisdom+2 is 4k phylactory of faithfulness is always good (1K) as is candle of truth (depending on what type of cleric you are)...

    The Adventures of the Knights of Spellforge Keep

    Vek reborn That was an utterly cool description of Vek's return. As we all know, any lich who is clever enough to come up with "Wee Jas gives you the gift of death", MUST have their phylactory safely stored away for future incarnations. I'm sure Vek'll be back with a vengeance. If I'm not...

    Effect of Miasma (MotW)

    miasma this spell has been errata'd to have a Fortitude saving throw. otherwise, it was way too potent.

    Digging while Invisible

    I'd say no, you do not appear. Dig doesn't sound to be an offensive spell, and you only appear from invisibility when you physically attack or cause damage. However, your enemies would be able to discern your general location from all that verbal casting you're doing.
