If you fired 15 orbs at 15 flat footed people then you could apply sneak attack damage to each person once but then how different is this from just casting fireball?

Bashing increases the damage of the shield 2 steps. I don't see how this is such a bad deal. Throw in about 15 shield fighting enhancing feats and its really good but divine shield is probably the most important. Increase your size to large (add a righteous might spell effect for 18k per use per...

3. Paladin's mount Argument against the sage: The windrider gets 5x the mount that the paladin does while still get feats for both himself and his mount all in 10 levels. The paladin doesn't get much other than his mount and to be at all useful at higher levels it should be treated as a magical...

Great throw is more of a teleport like effect than movement as you place them in any square you threaten. You can throw them over a wall which they would not normally be able to move through. Monte Cook said that Combat Reflexes can be used once per opportunity but was not limited to one per...

Switching between a one hand and a two hand grip on a weapon is a free action so if you have both hands on your battleaxe, which you can if you have a small shield, you can let go with your non shield hand, quick draw, throw, wield the battleaxe with 2 hands again and back to one hand in the...

There is a feat which gives 1.5x dam with unarmed attacks but the monk can't use flurry of blows at the same time. I believe it was published in Dragon Magazine but I don't know which one off-hand. (get it? off hand :) )

Use the mechanics of range increments, at each range increment the concealment is increased 25%. Low light doubles the range increments and stuff like moonlight reduces the maximum level of concealment.

I don't know if I made it clear, but the basher/rusher/knockbacker doesn't get the AoO, everyone else does. I guess the idea is that you are already making an attack or are too busy with the action of moving someone to make an extra attack. Opportunist uses a similar mechanic. The person...

AoO's apply to improved shield bash which knocks opponents back 5' so it would logically follow that if someone is knocked back 10' they will still trigger AoO.

Those dice don't count towards skills/feats, that's why the windrider add feats separately from the hd. Dragons could kill their rider 100% of the time. 12th level halfling could only have a juvenile silver dragon. At 13th level he could have young one. (18th level for adult)

Skip: Note that you can heal yourself through shape shifting a maximum of 9 times a day, even when you have evershifting form. (That one's not in the shifter's description, but the authors were quick to add it when I showed them your letter. Skip Williams RPG R&D (Ok, its 9x per day not 7...

I think the incantrix's power should reduce each metamagic feat by one but using triple empower is a +6 metamagic feat and the incantrix would reduce that to 5. The repeated use of metamagic feats with a discount isn't covered as it was always assumed that you paid the full cost each time.

I believe the official WoTC cap on wild shape healing is 7x/day.

The powers of an item do not reflect the attributes or the class abilities of its creator. This is an actual ruling. Furthermore, item creation rules are for creation of items that don't exist not making cheaper items with the same effect or items that exceed the maximum power of a given...

I'd have to take out my books but there is some highly questionable rulebending going on in that example. +15 enhancement bonus amulet = artifact +40 concentration ring = questionable I don't think the laces are being applied properly. This could be titled: Why every character should have...

Enlarge explicitly does not change the size of the character. Permanently large, hmm, you are thinking of reincarnate. Case closed. :)

I'm pretty sure there is a specific ruling about summon spells or some example in print somewhere. The only summon spell that goes beyond range is creeping doom and it rapidly disappears as it goes beyond the range.

The range on summoned creatures is short. They have to stay within range or they disappear so the summoner is always within 1 range increment for a longbow. If the bad guy cast fireball and ran away, I'd award some experience. The same as I would for a fireball trap if not the full award for...

Name 3 times in a normal campaign that mettle had any effect. I'm interested to hear some real examples of how that ability was ever useful. Specialization is only an average power feat and you had to take 2 feats to get it as a templar and its only for your diety's favored weapon. No diety has...

If the summoner runs away, you win that encounter and score experience based on the CR of the summoner. The rule is there so you don't double count the summoned monster and the summoner every time he attacks. If you encounter the summoner 5x and survive you score his exp value 5x, but none of...
