I was remembering that as after the attack roll not the damage roll. Regardless the book is still written on an exception basis it specifically excludes bonus damage from magical weapons but not sneak attacks. There for sneak attack damage is maximized.

With this being a level 29 daily ability, magic weapons will probably always outshine weapon damage so it's really not even an issue for which one they'll choose. Just that it's an either or situation but not both.

I agree with the sentiment that the light cantrip has no effect on the Darkness spell. Flavor wise I do like the idea of a battle of wills between the person casting light and the other casting Darkness to see who wins. However the only way I could justify something like that would be to...

It's completely possible that I jumped the gun and it's a DM trying to get clarification and if that's the case I do apologize to the OP. With all of the rules lawyering that's been going on lately it's been extremely frustrating to wade through. That's not ment as an excuse to justify my...

To bad piercing strike is melee only and all of the Rogues ranged attacks are against AC only. So a level 1 Rogue will have +8 to hit versus a high strength Fighter who will have at least +6 to hit.. not a huge difference. Especially considering one is a Defender and one is a Striker. It's...

You're right the key word being "extra" damage. I hadn't read it closely enough when it was posted and hadn't double checked the manual. (My mistake.) So to clarify on a non sneak attack you would double your sneak attack damage and on a critical hit you would maximize your normal dice...

Clarification or justification for breaking the game. The forums are getting riddled with people trying to exploit the rules. My sarcasm meter wasn't working properly so I'm glad you clarified that for me.

I'm the Rogue in his part and I'd have to say a lot of it was timing and strategy. We had the first wave down before the end of the third round. At which point I was close enough that I spotted Irontooth. I attacked him and the ranger got an attack off. The fighter either hadn't gone yet in...

It's ment as 12121212 not 123456... why do people insist on trying to break the game in their favor? The rule clarification may be a little shady but the intent is crystal clear.

Remember the handbook is written on an exception basis. It will exclude what isn't maximized on a crit and anything not mentioned is maximized. Example high crit and magic weapon damage are not maximized it specifically says they are not. Everything else not mentioned is maximized. There is...

Nah, I knew it wasn't, I was just commenting on the fact that technically speaking a Katar is a type of Dagger! ;)

Halfling Rogue with 22 AC against attack of opportunity. (+2 more AC when I get combat mobility.) I'm flanking with the fighter's marked target. I move two squares provoking an OA that has almost no chance to hit. I then deft strike forward to squares to land my sneak attack. This strategy...

It took us about an hour for each encounter. The group outside we killed with no one escaping to warn Irontooth. (The Ranger and I (the Rogue) took out the ranged guy first just because they always use nasty pots on us. After that we took the rest of the group apart. We went in through the...

Actually it's not a halfling racial ability it's a Rogue class ability.

That's close but it's actually they gain a +1 to attack when using Daggers. The rest is spot on +4 Dex bonus +3 weapon proficiencies and +1 for using a dagger. Otherwise if he was using a shortsword it would be +7.

I think the real question is... what's not to love about a halfling? I'm dead sexchay baby! *rubs his halfling nipples*

You're right, I read up on it after I posted and while the end result was right the math itself was wrong. Your movement is 2. You can use two move actions to move twice and that becomes 4. You don't add the penalty a second time. Generally adding your movement together before hand comes...

You only apply penalties once. So if his speed is normally 4 you multiply 4 by 2 and then divide by 2. You add everything together and then add the penalty once. You don't add the penalties add everything together and then add the penalties again.

I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall with how many times I've said this in this thread. Allies do not block your line of sight. They do block your enemies line of sight giving you cover. Just as your enemies block your line of sight from their allies behind them granding them ranged...

Double check the picture and what it represents. The arrows are all going away from the player. The player is labeled "attacker" The picture simply represents that the two monsters have cover from the wall but the bottom monster doesn't have cover because allies do not grant cover to...
