Yea, Flurry of Blows is not a full round action, it is done as part of a full attack (which happens to generally require a full round action). Slight difference, but still a difference. Dandu has it 100% correct, per usual.

Agreed. Barring weapons, armor, scrolls, potions, metamagic rods and +stat items and other basic stuff (like the stuff mentioned in the affinity table in the back of the MIC), I just plain don't use the DMG for magic items. I like the cheaper 3 charges per day items better than a lot of the more...

Look up Shax's Indispensable Haversack. Its not an item, but a collection of items from tons of different sources that are both cheap and useful. It contains references to tons of alchemical items and cheap magic items that have big effects like eggshell grenades and torchbug paste. It comes in...

I'm totally gonna make a fiendish sentry ooze gelatinous cube Swordsage to encounter my party. Sentry ooze gives it an Int score, which fiendish sets to 3. With an Int of 3, he can now gain class levels. Go go Shadow Jaunt Ooze! Five Pseudopod Creeping Enervation Strike! The cube gets :):):):)...

Required Reading: Ur-Priest's Monsterous Monster Handbook. Yes, there is a handbook for that. It goes through and explains exactly what RHD, LA, and ECL mean. If you want to create a monster class racial progression, look up oslecamo or a few others. They are pretty much experts at doing...

Third Eye: Clarity (XPH/MIC) allows the wearer to 1/day as an immediate mental action, end one daze effect (among a couple others). 3000g each. Buy several. Swap out between encounters as directed.

Orc paragon from UA gives rage without the chaotic alignment requirement that standard barbarian rage had. It's a significant loss in CLs though. Druidic Avenger is the best fit, IMO. Class names are metagame constructs anyway. Not all samurai have levels in CW's samurai class or the master...

If something is a creature, our at least treated as a creature, it actually has a turn. That turn consists of a move and a standard action. The standard can be converted to a move, also known as a double move or hustle. If a human has a speed of 30, he can move up to 60 ft per round with a...

Don't forget to double the fly speed, since the thing is probably making double moves. I like the idea of the item having a few charges, like....3-4, and they recharge, but only after say, 3 days of continuous non-use, then at a rate of 1/day. That way, you have built-in stopover encounter...

Nets are pretty simple. You throw a net just like you would throw a dagger or club. Proficiency is encouraged, but not required (-4 to hit). If you hit the foes touch AC, they gain the entangled condition, per the PHB. The rest of the rules are right there in the weapon description of the PHB...

Exotic Weapon Master in Complete Warrior has the Flurry of Strikes stunt that is basically a reprint of monks Flurry of Blows, except that it only works with exotic double weapons or spiked chains. Gnolls have a nunchuck-like racial weapon called a Flindbar, which is exotic and kinda chain-like...

Mike R just met his goal for this Kickstarter. If you want to jump on the Rusty train before it departs, you have 22 hours left! Get one now, its a guaranteed thing!

Only 6 days left for the Rusty kickstarter. About 1/2 way there, moneywise, but I'm sure we can rally. Mike says he has "connections", but for the safety of Mike's kneecaps, you should really consider backing this! Don't be the only one in your gaming group that DOESN'T have one of these...

Wizard3/MasterConjourer4/WayfarerGuide3 Practiced Spellcaster for wizard and the Dimension Jump reserve feat from Complete Mage. Also, the Spellgifted Trait from UA. That's CL 13 with 2 extra passengers. That's 6 people. Then add items, Boots of Big Stepping add 2 CLs, and UMD a Bead of Karma...

It doesn't have to be complicated to be good. Something as simple as Rogue or Spellthief 1/Wizard4/UnseenSeer10 is a good start. Try not to loose spellcaster levels. Take Able Learner from Races of Destiny at level 1, which requires human, and you'll pretty much have every skill worth taking as...

No, you can NOT make a Wand of a Sanctum Baleful Polymorph, for example, because Baleful Polymorph is a 5th level spell. Sanctum BP is cast from a 5th level slot. It doesn't get modified by Sanctum Spell until it is actually cast. Once cast, it is effectively 4th or 6th level spell, as...

I think there is a Beholder for that...might check Lords of Madness or one of the older 3.0 Faerun books.

The DMG does state that you can put MM into wands. You could make a Wand of Empowered Magic Missile, for example, which would be a 3th level spell wand with a minimum CL of 5. A Widened Grease would be a 4th level spell, CL 7, and the DC would be 10 + 1 (spell level) + 2 (14 caster stat for a...

3.0 specialist disciplines were pretty balanced. Unfortunately, they were the ONLY part of 3.0 psionics that were. Wow, that system was messed up...especially in the case of a psionic character vs a non-psionic character...psionic combat was brutal on your PP total. For the record, I have 2...

Just because you can fix it, doesn't mean it's not broken. I only have the zeal I do because I've seen it impact games negatively on both sides of the DM screen. Thats why I don't use it anymore. It wasn't fun for me, and it wasn't fun for those I was playing with. And anyways, why do people...
