I've started a campaign where the pc's are for the most part mounted combatants. How exactly does grappling work against a mounted opponent? are they considered large? do they have to grapple the horse too? are you just immune to grapple if your mounted? I'm rather confused :( also when...

Ok i admit it i'm lazy :( but i'm also the only one of my group willing to run a game :) so it all works out. MY current problem is I want to use advanced monsters, in particular monsters that advance by level, the 4th lvl fighter hobgoblin or the 7th lvl monk 2nd lvl swashbuckler 1st lvl...

thanks for all the responces, I was thinking the mercenary group as a whole would be about 100 people but the 2 pc's will spend almost all of thier time with a group of about 20 until they get higher level and i can start sending them off alone without the odd random encounter killing them. I...

I'm kicking around the idea of a new campaign. I've always wanted to see what players could do if they focused on mounted combat, but of course a warhorse is a liability in a dungeon, so i figured a campaign based on a mercanary company of cavalry would work beautifully. As i planned out the...

In our last game we were fighting a ghost, her favorite tactic was to drop into the ground then come up and mess with us. After the ghost dissapeared into the ground the ranger readied an action to attack the ghost should she rise up near him. The next round the ghost rises up behind the ranger...

last game a dire lion grappled the ranger, the rogue then sneak attacked the dire lion. The dm ruled that because of the confusion of the grapple there would be a 50% miss chance (01-50% hits lion, 51-100% hits ranger) In a bout of astounding bad luck the rogue then sneak attacked the ranger...

I finally made a character with Improved trip and last game ran into a small snag. I trip the bad guy, bad guy stands up (provoking an AoO). so can i use an AoO to make a trip attack? and if i can use the Attack of opportunity to trip the bad guy do i get the followup attack? I hope that made...

wow, it looks like i stumbled on a prickly problem here. oddly enough my gm and i were arguing these exact points. thanks for the opinons and refrences. It looks like it boils down to what interpretation your dm chooses (or can be convinced of)

how does shield bash work? #1 if i hit a guy with my axe then bash him with my shield (assuming i'm 6th level so my bab is +6/+1) what penalties do i take to attack? #2 also if I only have a shield (bad guy broke my axe :( ) what penalties do i take to hit with my shield since it's in my...

well i'll be, 10 minutes later i find my answer on the d&d faq well, if anybody else is wondering adamantine shields cost 5000gp and are considered masterwork, so -1 armor check

I can't seem to find the price for an adamantine shield in the DMG, also does an adamantine shield have any benefit other than increased hardness? also if i have a throwing axe and shield and I throw my axe then bash with my shield, does my shield bash still count as my off hand for damage...

we just started a new game and the newest player has a tower shield, it had never fit with anybody else's character so it never came up. suddenly we have a bevy of rules questions :( you can use a tower shield for total cover. what action does that take? is it a move equivilant? standard? free...

ah I see. Thanks for the quick replies. i'll be picking up d20 mecha very soon then hehe

i'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask in but do i need D20 modern or BESM D20 (Guardians of Order) to run D20 Mecha (Guardians of order) also which is better D20 future's mecha chapter or the book D20 mecha? thanks :)

i pronounce it flame oddly enough, although i have a friend who always said fleightm. a decade ago i had 4 players and 1 dm that worked very nicely so i've always viewed it as the optimum number of players

for the last 10 years or so 2 players and 1 gm. it's made gaming rough, especially when 2 of the 3 got married. a game with 3 players sounds like a dream to me much less 6

in 3 years of playing this is the first time it's come up. a bad guy runs past the crossbow wielding wizard provoking an AoO. however the crossbow is empty so the wizard tries to punch the bad guy. the wizard (oddly enough) doesn't have improved unarmed combat and provokes an AoO for attacking...

can you cast a scroll defensively? it says it's like casting a spell and provokes an attack of oppertunity, so can you cast it defensively? also am i mistaken or would a poor wizard who wanted to pull a spell out of his bag and cast it provoke 2 attacks of oppertunity, one for taking an object...

i'm running an epic campaign with a weapon master (greataxe) the combination of his max damage 11 times a day, 46 str, +7 weapon, and a power attack of 10-20 means he does some terrifying damage, with his improved threat range and x4 multiplier crits easily do 200-400 points of damage. so the...

The sorcerer in my campaign has recently aquired the shapeshift spell, and her favorite tactic is to turn herself into either a Hunafer, or an Anaxim, the only 2 epic monsters they've encountered. My question refers to the anaxim specifically it's got spell immunity as a construct. so what...
