But then can they use another special combat maneuver on that AoO? For example, let's set up the scenario. Fighter Bill walks past Fighter Ted on his way to awesomely smite some kobolds. Fighter Ted takes his Attack of Opportunity, and decides to disarm Fighter Bill. Fighter Ted does not have...

Whoops. Just thought of something. This dives into the "AoO in response to an AoO" debate, but let's say that if you trip someone during an AoO, do they get the AoO in return (assuming the tripper has no Improved Trip feat)? This also brings up the question of whether you can pull a 'special...

Strange. I always saw Refocus as the best possible option to take when you didn't have anything to do or couldn't do anything that round (blocked from the front line by meat shields, etc, etc...) and so just geared yourself up to jump into combat that much faster for the next round. I may...

Hey, all. I can't find Refocus in my 3.5 book, and it's been confirmed that it was taken out. I'm just not sure why at all, as I didn't see a massive problem with it. Can you folks possibly enlighten me on this situation? As a bonus question, because I'm not quite clear on the etiquette of this...

Whew. I think the party is starting to realize that the game has shifted towards slightly more deadly. They're about to head for the Maze in Region B next session. I'm anticipating that that'll take one or two sessions to navigate. It's been interesting to watch them try to deal with the...

Whoopsy, thank you. I wasn't aware if there were any existing variant rules that people used, or if it fell into the realm of houseruling. Thanks!

I've looked and looked and haven't been able to find a collection of rules for called shots - for example, what sort of penalty does a arrow aimed at the eye incur? The kneecap? That sort of thing. Thanks in advance!

Can a arcane spellcaster cast from divine scrolls and vice versa? (Divine spellcaster casting from arcane scrolls.) I couldn't find this information anywhere, sadly. Thanks in advance for your help!

Jim, for what it's worth, the reason I even acquired the GM's Survival Guide (which took some doing, given how long it's been out of print!) was because when I asked, several groups of people affirmed that it was the single most useful and informative book in all of the L5R sourcebooks, period...

Traevenon, the same exact thing happened when I started leafing through my newly acquired copy of the "GM's Survival Guide" for the Legend of the Five Rings RPG. :)

I'm a bit confused on this. By the RAW, it shouldn't be possible - Stunned folks do not seem to count as helpless, as they have separate modifiers to Armor Class. On the other hand, if someone is stunned, wouldn't they be open to that sort of shot to the vitals? (I'm aware that Stunned folks...

Didn't you play in it in an AEG game at one point, Jim? I remember the Adventure Logs saying you actually got killed in there... ;)

It's never fun to hear about a campaign ending, but at least it went out with a bang, right?

This comes from a theoretical situation that arose during the last session. We were discussing dealing with an (Improved) Invisible, flying sorceror, with the party armed with a Detect Evil at will. (Coming from the paladin, and the sorceror is evil, natch) I figured the way it would go is that...

So, this question came up when my player's gnome paladin decided to induce headaches in battle by doing 'Detect Evil, 5 foot step, Detect Evil, rinse and repeat' from round to round (1 DE and 1 5-foot-step per round, natch). How do you handle overlapping Detect Evil areas? (I'm speaking of time...

Since it was posted here originally, I've rehosted it on my little temporary Angelfire website in all its glory. Enjoy! Just be sure that you target a weak person first, so the swarm can truly strike with all its power... :D http://www.angelfire.com/ult/wld/apocalypse_swarm.pdf Copyright to...

Thanks for the help, guys. I'll be using your suggestions for how to run Longtail when my second group gets there. For today's session, I used the kyton encounter in place of Longtail. Let me tell you, it went VERY well. :D Everyone said their favorite part of the battle was when Boyikt managed...

Hmm. I've run into a bit of a dilemma. Earlier in the thread, I really liked the idea of replacing Longtail (Region A) with a Kyton, as well as the other details of that encounter. I'm running two groups through the WLD, so I figured I would use the Kyton for one and Longtail for the other...

Running two parties through this monster as well. Party 1: Gnome Paladin Gnome Sorceror Halfling Rogue Xeph Soulknife Dead: None yet... Party 2: Orc Cleric Human Monk Dwarf Fighter Human Sorceror Dead: Dwarf Barbarian Half-Elf Rogue Books used: PHB 3.5 DMG 3.5 Complete Warrior Complete...

Easy idea - launch it into space. No natural disasters there! ;)
