    Pounce

    Actually, this would be my Druid while in Leopard form. He will have the Multiattack feat. Also, would bonuses to Strength increase the Rake damage? For instance, would a Bull's Strength add an additional +1 point to the damage (Strength modifier of +5, divided by 2 rounded down)? What about...

    Pounce

    Per the SRD: Pounce When a creature with this special attack makes a charge, it can follow with a full attack—including rake attacks if the creature also has the rake ability. If I charge as a leopard with Mulitattack, (Full Attack: Bite +8 melee (1d6+3) and 2 claws +6 melee (1d3+1)), do I...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Good, plain old 3.5 character sheets!

    If you want one that will automatically calculate your ability modifiers for your skills and your attacks, AC, etc... Check out the first link at this site: http://frozen.kontek.net/misc/apps.shtml We've been using it for years and it works wonderfully.

    Quick question on Wildshape and +Con

    Per the 3.5 FAQ: But it also goes the other way:

    Druids and Multiattack

    Yeah. In the campaign I am currently in, we are in a Winterland scenario, where the warmest it has been in thousands of years is 35 F. Our DM is greatly limiting the animals that I can wildshape into. Needless to say, there won't be a lot of Dinosaurs running around. Good thing is the...

    Grappling with natural attacks

    Ok. I am trying to wrap my brain around this, so bear with me. If I have two claws and a bite attack because I am a lion, without considering Rake, how many attacks do I normally have? What penalties do I suffer to my attacks? Taking Rake into account, do I get any additional attacks? What...

    Does the ranged character stink?

    That was more or less what I was getting at. Yes, perhaps some of the feat choices or the class selection wasn't the best. I was trying to figure out why the general perception is that the standard bow and arrow character, well, stinks? It seems to me that it would be possible to make a...

    Does the ranged character stink?

    I agree. I'm not sure what the thinking was there. And as I said, I think that since he is a heavy roleplayer over combat, he took those two feats first, then after seeing how the melee angle was covered, he then decided he was going to go ranged??? Who knows? But as I said - our DM is...

    Does the ranged character stink?

    I have a buddy that said he wanted to build a ranged character for our current campaign. He is current a third level human Ranger/Scout/Fighter. His current ability scores are as follows: STR: 13 DEX: 16 CON: 15 INT: 14 WIS: 15 CHA: 11 His current feats are Dodge, Mobility, Track, Point...

    Summon Nature's Ally

    Thanks for the info. Makes sense now. I cannot bring myself to take the Spell Focus: Conjuration feat just to get Augment Summoning. Does anyone do anything in particular to help with this? Any ideas what I could propose to my DM?

    Summon Nature's Ally

    In another post on a different website, I read that a Druid can talk (and effectively instruct) a Hippogriff in Combat. Is this true? And if so, why? And if this is indeed true, it got me thinking... What other animals can a Druid summon that they can talk to and "command" on the...

    Touch of Golden Ice

    The book seems a little vague to me, so forgive me if there seems like there is an obvious answer to this. The save listed in BoED for Touch of Golden Ice is a DC 14. Is that a Fort save, or just a flat DC check?

    Touch of Golden Ice

    All good points. The main reason why I am asking is that out of the many things that I have read, it seems that Touch of Golden Ice is one of the best feats from BoED. I want to make sure I understand it's full potential. If you have a negative Dexterity modifier, does that count against...

    Touch of Golden Ice

    The feat description states that evil creatures that are touched and fail their save take initial damage of 1d6 and secondary damage of 2d6. So, other than the loss of AC and a creature losing it's ranged/finesse bonus to attack, what other consequences does a character or creature suffer from...

    How to stay organized as a Druid?

    You're my boy Blue! This will be ideal for SNA. I will cut and paste these onto index cards, as mentioned. As for wildshaping - What are the main stats, qualities, attacks, etc. that will change from my main form? STR, CON and DEX, are one. AC is another... Special Qualities and Movement...

    How to stay organized as a Druid?

    So, I'm playing a Druid for the first time, and already after our first adventure, I think I need some tools to help me with book keeping. Our DM is a great DM, but he hasn't DM'ed in four years.. He has a computer to help him with all the "fun" stuff, but I he doesn't have everything...

    Druids

    What about CON boosts while Wildshaped? If I cast Bear's Endurance on myself while Wildshaped as a bear (via Natural Spell), then the hitpoints do increase then, correct? While I am at it, what about the "Bite of the Were_____" spells from the Spell Compendium? For example, take Bite of the...

    Druids

    Good to note, Moon Lancer. I am playing in a campaign where most of the guys really know what they are doing. I think one guy is going to be something like, swordsage/warblade, and another is going toward Ultimate Magus. Heck. One guy is a flying 3'6" cleric or something or another. So...

    Druids

    Nice! This DM would probably go for it. It sounds feasible to me at least. And who wouldn't want knowledge nature? What am I missing about Holly and Mistletoe? Vow of Poverty does allow for spell component pouch. Does this have anything to do with divine focus? If so, how can I get...

    Assay Spell Resistance

    If you need to overcome spell resistance often in a campaign, assay spell resistance is nice. But, in a campaign that I played with lots of SR, I found Arcane Mastery to be much more useful. It was HUGE when dispelling magic as well. When combined with Spell Penetration and Greater Spell...
