    Practiced Spellcaster

    Fear the ogre sorcerer! It can work on racial hit die, though (so, it can kinda make up for LA with races with racial HD, but not LA itself (sorry pixies)) Fear the Ogre Sorcerer with Practiced Spellcasting! Fear the max 14 cha at character creation!

    Tripping

    Bunnies like Carrots Yes, the rules say you can use an empty hand with TWF. I didn't address this particular situation. However, you could still only trip with the empty hand (unarmed strike) He could be holding the shortsword in his off hand and a carrot in his primary hand and still make...

    Tripping

    Need a trip weapon If wielding two trip weapons, you can make two trip attempts per round with each of them If a monk, you can make two trip attempts per round with unarmed strikes with flurry If nonmonk, you can make one trip attempt per round with unarmed strikes (since you don't have...

    Mechanical penalties for losing an arm?

    Quick Opinion I don't think the monk should any penalty to attacks. According to the rules, monks don't need free hands to make attacks; they can be carrying two cages with chickens in them and have no penalty. Thus, I'd think losing one arm or even both would not affect their combat...

    Can Clerics Cure Cancer?

    Viruses can cause cancer I'd just like to quickly add that a percentage and certain types of cancer are caused by viruses (something like 20%?) Could do remove disease, and roll a percent die :)

    Grapple Checks and Natural 1

    My 2 cents The way I read it is that you auto succeed or auto fail on 20s and 1s. In the event of a tie, the person with the highest modifier wins (even if both characters roll a 20). Not sure how RAW this is.

    Avoid AoOs - 5' step into target's square?

    Not Pixies, Raven More like, Wraithstriking (CA) Mirror Imaged Raven :] 1d3-4, or whatever the damage is, is definently rocking I believe I2K's point is how in my original post, the rules only state that a tiny creature can move into or through an occupied square. It doesn't say a tiny...

    Avoid AoOs - 5' step into target's square?

    Yes, I know, I'm just asking about this particular application of 5' step. Thanks, though I'd like to direct you to p. 29 of the DMG, the "Mixing it up" section. There are rules for creatures of different sizes occupying the same square. Fly by attack? :) I think the rules are clear that...

    Avoid AoOs - 5' step into target's square?

    Can a tiny or smaller creature avoid AoO if they 5' step into an enemy occupied square? Here are the relevent SRD quotes: Just reading this makes me think that you can. I guess I'm just weirded out a little bit, since I've never thought about it.

    Boston/Cambridge, MA - Looking for PCs

    Gaming Schedule I have a weekend group that I greatly enjoy. So, I am looking at weekday evenings.. Perhaps Wednesday. Though, I'd be for having it on occasional weekends also. The scheduling is highly dependent on the PCs, of course :)

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Gnome Armor So, once my PCs were on a ship with a pirate ship quickly approaching them from behind. The PCs knew they were clearly out numbered, seeing approximately 10 people on deck of the pirate vessel. The gnome wizard (~lvl 4, I believe) tells the half fiend fighter to fly her over to...
