One thing just occurred to me... "Multiple different bonus types" ;) If you had something with a +4 armor bonus, a +2 armor bonus, and a +1 armor bonus... those are similar bonus types. +4 armor, +4 deflection... different bonus types. Split, I say SPLIT those hairs. In general, I treat...

It's all about the motivation. What if there was a Fighter2 base class that had TWF as a free feat, but lacked Shield Proficiency. A player says "Hey, I want to play a fighter2 but I have no interest in two weapon fighting... can I swap that feat for shield prof?". Is that okay or not? The...

I'd go with the following: Certain classes of animals will perform a coup de grace. This may be because of inbreeding, training, or other reasons. However, each animal within that class will _always_ coup de grace before going on to another opponent; it's the way they work. Chew until unmoving...

Worm that Walks, from the Epic books. Writhing tangle of Meteor-Swarm casting eeeeevil. So we're sitting there at the table, fighting an old mage buddy of ours. My character (monk) runs up and grapples said mage. Unfortunately, I have True Seeing running... GM takes me out of the room and shows...

Wow, is the SRD badly written. I was prepared to post "multiple AC boni are not similar per the SRD", but then I read the FM... gah. My call as a DM: multiple bonuses (of any sort) that stack would not be considered "similar" by the SRD meaning, even though they are "similar" as per English...

Have fun! And lookie here, just got a package in the mail :D I was going to post this in the original thread, but I can't find it. Ah, well. MY NEW DICE BAG ROCKS! though I need more dice... Ahem. Mini-review. Fabric. Check. Definitely fabric... sturdy stuff, too. It's one of the...

And get to know someone who builds machines so that when it just doesn't work (rare, but possible) you can call for help :) I've been poking around system upgrades myself, and I noticed something very interesting. Systems (in particular video cards) are about to shift from a PCI connector to a...

So... when are we going to see 'em? Inquiring minds want to know! Also, if I were to have ordered a bag (I think) but I'm not sure if I managed to make the web site work, how long should I restrain myself before sending you guys an email? Signed, "Tired of the chili bag" :)

You might want to check out Monte Cook's forums (off of his website, http://www.montecook.com). The RttToEE folks were talking about what to do for souvenirs a while back, and there were some good ideas. I've got two suggestions: embroidered with a slogan (kinda fun) or with the elemental...

I did see that, but :) I wanted the damage-enhancing metamagics to have a cost above and beyond the Spellcraft roll. The problem without extra cost is that a sufficiently high-level mage can basically toss quickened/maximized magic missiles and scorching rays all day. On the other hand, I've...

So I have the Complete Divine, and don't have the miniHB. That is to say, clerics suddenly got spontaneous metamagic (free action), sorcs have spontaneous metamagic (full action), and wizards are stuck. And I'd like to change this. Sooooo... tell me what you think about the following: First...

Yeah, chili bag... you know that tourist-trap chili stuff they sell in the Southwest? My friends bought me a pack as a joke gift (I'm from there, currently in Wisconsin) and I kept the bag as a dice bag. Now it's an embroidered one. Well, will be :) (okay, Paladin, I'm waiting...) Edit...

Speaking of the Dervish, anyone got an answer for this one? Quote 1: If a Dervish wields a slashing weapon while in a dervish dance... (they get an attack/damage bonus). Quote 2: A dervish may only perform a dervish dance while wielding a slashing weapon... So much for my Dervishing monk. On...

Actually, my biggest problem with the DMM feats is not that clerics can use turn attempts (often freebies) to get metamagic, but that they can do it on the fly. I'm not going to touch the lack of level cap... Houserule #1: you can only use a DMM on a spell N levels lower than your maximum :)...

Divine Metamagic isn't a bad idea, but that's two feats. You need to have something when the undead aren't around, you know. The feat-for-maximized healing... I'd skip it unless you have several healers in the party. Where that feat rocks is an organized hospital setting, not an individual...

Jewish ceremonial headcovering. Depending on how devout (bad term... hrm... how by-the-Book) you are, worn at religious worship to continually. Okay, that's it, I'm getting a new dice bag. My old chili bag just doesn't do it :) And I think my players are getting a link mailed...

Stuck in a bard again... First, I would talk to your GM about it :) It depends on how you see the VoP. Since you're in a different body, effects that were on your monk _body_ would not be on the bard. Things like a permanent Magic Fang, for example, would not switch. So are the VoP benefits...
