There is a system like that in my campaign. It's basically taken from final fantasy 7. You have materia, stones that you can put in your armor that give you spellcasting abilities. They give you mana you can spend on specific spells. The more mana you use, the faster your materia improves and...

Thanks for the reply. The world is actually infested with demons, which are in a war with devils, which in turn want to enslave humans and take their souls. The PC are the third faction, led by an ex-paladin turned undead demigod, that wants to rid the world of demons and devils alike, and is...

Hi there. I'm mastering a DnD campaign that is running since 2005. We have taken a break and we are playing the "other side" now, the villains. So there i am, with a group comprising a ghost, a deathknight, and a choker (amongst other, more standard, character). Now, i have plenty of combat...

Well uh, they'll lose initiative soon enough, or find a trap. They get hit for 1d8 damage and probably die. End of story.

I wasn't sure whether to post this here on in "Plots and places" sections... Anyway, here's something happened in my game. We are in a city, in fantasy/low-steampunk setting, Dnd 3.5 (pathfinder) An npc guard was found guilty of treason and put to death. One of the players contested the laws...

Hi there. I have a question regarding these two spells. Shield other splits damage (even spell damage) between two sources. If both sources also have resist energy, does the resistance or DR apply twice? Say that two subject have resist fire 10, and have a shield other. If one takes 50...

He cannot decide to charge, because A interrupted B based up the fact that B ATTACKED. And if B attacked, then he can only continue with the attack, no more moves! (you need spring attack for this). The same happens in round 2. The key here is the ready trigger: when B attacks. When B attacks...

The thing is, this is perfectly fine. It's when you ready to "attack and move 5ft", instead of only moving away, that things go bad. There's nothing in the rules preventing to attack in response to his attack (and you go first, because you readied) and then stepping away, effectively negating...

This is ok, not gamebreaking. However, you could do better by readying against his "attack" not against his "move", so that by the time he attacks, you interrupt and step away, and get a free extra attack while he gets none. And this, since it can be done each turn, IS gamebreaking. And the...

I am assuming you are referring to when they are adjacent (since the first time B gets to do anything, he is adjacent to A). B cannot ready this action because A is adjacent, so no step forward.

Hi there. I am a Dnd 3.5 (now pathfinder) DM with a few years of experience. Recently, i had a PC try to use a readied action in strange manners, so i made some tests and found out many ways a 1v1 encounter can be broken using initiative. Note this i know there many "munchkiny" methods for...
