    What happens if a character stabilizes at -5hp, but they are in the water???

    Cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water. Our shark. Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain. For we've received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so nevermore shall we see you again.

    "Saving" feats

    In the campaigns I have played in I allow people to select feats for which they don't meet the pre-reqs. They can't use the feat until they make the requirements. Any feats that require other feats also require all of their pre-reqs. So for example, you could take combat expertise as a...

    Leap Attack

    wait a second - so a frenzied beserker using a great axe getting a critical at 10th level with a max power attack is +180 points of damage from the power attack?! wow....that is just overkill.....

    Unarmed Spring Attack?

    One last one maybe.... 5' when unoccupied, variable but less than 5' when occupied. I would adjudicate that the movement into an occupied square is always less than movement into an unoccupied square unless that movement carries you completely through and out of the square. It may cost 5' of...

    Unarmed Spring Attack?

    In the campaigns I have played in, we are very liberal with the "drawing a weapon as part of a move with a BAB of +1 or higher" rule. Pretty much if you are moving, we figure you can use your hands to get at an item or pick something up along the way. If you don't move however, it costs you...

    Unarmed Spring Attack?

    Picking up an item is a move equivilent action, grabbing something is not. To count as picking up, I would say that you literally have to pick the person up and throw them over your shoulder, just grabbing him could be done as a part of your first move action. Moving a heavy object is also...

    Paladin of Wee Jas

    I could see this working, although very different from a "normal" paladin. These knights would be her chosen enforcers, administrators of justice and order within her church. They would be there to keep her servants in line and insure that all who serve Wee Jas keep her as high and do not put...

    Unarmed Spring Attack?

    My ruling would be that if the person is paralyzed then they would be counted as an object as far as picking up, moving, dragging, etc is concerned. I don't think you would need spring attack to move in and grab them (one move action) then drag them out (2nd move action). All spring attack...

    Liches Touching Themselves

    This is the way I see it: 1. Some positive energy heals living creatures 2. Some positive energy can damage living creatures. 3. Therefore, all positive energy is not healing. 4. All positive energy damages undead. I would think that those rules would apply for undead and negative energy...

    Unarmed Spring Attack?

    Smurf, I still don't think that moving into an opponents square is 5 feet of movement after the attack. 1) Personally I don't think you moved 5', although I could see someone arguing this especially if they were fighting a large or bigger creature. 2) This movement happens during the...

    Monkey Grip

    So you get 5' reach with a 10' sword....lmao. Nice.

    Monkey Grip

    A question of reach.... By using a Large Sized 2H sword would you have a 10' reach? Also, by using a Large sized Glaive, would you have a 20' reach? If you polymorphed a small size person into a huge sized creature, could they then use a Gargantuate Sized Glaive for a 40' reach? 40' reach >...

    Unarmed Spring Attack?

    I too would have allowed the action because as previously stated it is both awesome and sweet. However, I don't think I would just "let" it happen, as in the PC jumping in can just grab him and flee without the cube doing anything. I think one AoO on the person grabbing the friend is what I...

    When the GM gips you (a rant)

    ? My first question is how did you know it was a 9 die fireball - as a DM I would require at the LEAST a spellcheck roll to determine how powerfull the fireball was and would not roll it out in the open. Sounds to me like the DM was just showing off....lame. 9th level spellcaster with 3rd...

    Unarmed Spring Attack?

    In the grapple to get the guy away from the cube example above, you still would provoke an AoO from the cube - Since you are "attacking" the helpless PC, the cube can still womp on you. That being said, I still can't see how the whole grapple thing is at all relevant. If you did use it on an...

    D&D d20 Idea for Clerics - Spontaneously Cast Domain Spells Only

    Great ideas I always liked the idea of a spontaneous divine caster, and all these suggestions seem to help it along. It seems weird to me that a priest would ask for spells to use during the day, sitting down and saying "God, I really think I need 3 Flame Strikes today, along with a couple...

    Is casting a spell with the Evil descriptor an Evil act?

    Misdirection Illusion (Glamer) That aura is as real as an illusionary tree. It is a glamer of an aura. If the paladin picked up the Unholy sword and used it, he may well no longer be a paladin, even if the aura on the sword was misdirected as good. Honestly I don't understand where the...

    Is casting a spell with the Evil descriptor an Evil act?

    That is pretty much the argument right there. I think that statement is false, you think it's true. My personal belief is that in the DnD multiverse Evil/Good/Chaos/Law are all measurable forces. Because of this spells,effects, creatures, etc that create a positive result in the Detect Evil...

    Is casting a spell with the Evil descriptor an Evil act?

    The possesor of the evil aura may not be evil, but the aura is. A good person can be possesed by a demon and radiate evil. This doesn't change the the alignment of the person, but does indicate the PRESENCE of evil. Presence is the key word, and that fact that evil can be measured in DnD...
