AARRGGHH! my brain! it hurts! please state the question more clearly so we dont continue assuming a hundred different things about what you ment. Failing that maybe you should change your handle to 'Captain Cunundrum' "If you dont control your anger...your anger will contorl you?...thats...

of course a heroic sacrifice is just that, a condition where one must sacrifice oneself so others may live. holding a corridor for just one more round as hundreds of orcs charge your position, or holding the narrow bridge so your friends. Or standing in front of a pair of children who are being...

have bard tell the taale of a heroic night who singlehandedly saved the lives of hundreds, and when the pcs start hearing of this tale theyll say "hey! what about us?! we were there too!" or have a statue erected or a holy day declared. All kinds of cool things, I like the bards though the other...

Ive got a good mature group now and Im playing my first paladin. I just hope evrything goes cool as I dont want to leave because the DM thinks a paladin is mother teresa with a sword. most of my paladins follow these simple rules or some slight variation of them. Thou shalt believe all that...

How do you run your paladins or how do you run your characters paladins? Every paladin Ive ever played the DM has tried his best to screw me over. Why is this? why is it that a DM thinks a paladin is their personal play thing to torment or find any stupid little strech of the rules to make a...

The races of the wild. I actually built a scout off of this bow, mr. fighter comes in to sunder or grapple and you get an AoO. Its also nice when your in H2H you can switch it from a bow to a 1/4 staff as a free action. Later on you can magic up the bow part and the quarterstaff part giving you...

unless your an 8th level archer going after a 3rd level paladin/ 1st fighter with a +13 to hit and human bane arrows and most likely hasted or some other feats I dont know about so you can move 5' shoot 3 times for about an average of 25 points of damage which clobbers you because its more than...

If you wanted to get really cheesy you build an archer with TWF and take the elven bow so when some one comes into your square you still threaten and you can attack like your armed with a Quarterstaff

Man o man, tons of great ideas and tons of mine shot down, but this is what I was looking for. One main problem is we are fairly low level most of the time, so archers can get at least 2 sometimes more shots as a standard action where a low level fighter gets one and our DM likes to give the...

all great ideas I especally like the pressing attack feat. We pretty much play low level games as we start out at 1st always, and the game were in right now is fairly low magic. So some options wont work and others arent fesible. I just think that the 5' step is abused and broken as far as...

your right but what you could do is attack and follow if they move 5 as you can move 5 as part of another actio if you havent already moved, and if they move more than 5 aside from disengaging then you get an AoO. I agree that readying an action to follow and relying on AoO if they move more...

Ok one of the most abused rules in our game is the 5' step, I hate it, archers use it to kill melee fighters and wizards laugh at warriors when they engage. I want to make the 5' step the most feared thing a DM can use on me. here are some of my solutions if you see any flaws or have other /...

In the old days of D&D they actually described hit points as fatigue/luck etc... the first set of hit points you roll is your actual hitpoints, i.e. the point you start breaking bones and taking major hits. It works well if you think of hit points as luck/fatigue points. And a higher...

actually it was funnier in my mind because I didnt see the "will" until after I posted.

one of our first encounters in anew campaign. A village was being harrased by a bunch of goblins and a few orcs leading them...when they staged there next attack they had a bout 20-30 goblins they were harrassed and we killed a dozen , when they made it to the village (earlier we found the...

ok see that right there is the number one reason for not ressurecting a character!

oh and the respones that came from this post are classic.

My hate of d02 know no limit. It fails in just about every aspect of a game,and it is more of a rule playign game than role playing game. Frist off it is way to liniar.You just get better in everyway.THere is no way in avoiding it.I mena no mater what you are, you have have hit points and...

Just a question, I wanted to know how many other people never ressurect characters? Personally I never do it no matter how much I like the character, in my opinion theres a certain level of danger and excitement knowing that when a character of mine dies hes dead, so they never take stupid risks...

Inform your players that you can withdraw from combat as a full move action and not take attacks of opportunity. Dosent sound like they know this if theyre trying to get away and only taking a fiver to avoid an AoO. And withdraw dosent mean you have to move away from combat you can use it to get...
