You have a second vote here. The bonus cannot be assigned if it is not defined. Period! Undefined does not = 0. Further you are right that it can be a negative number. A fighter with BAB 6 with total attack bonus of 7 attacks using power attack of 5. Thus he attacks @ 2/-3. If you were to...

Ok Hyper I see that I will have to take this one point at a time. Power Attack in the rules portion uses the phrase “On the character's action, before making attack rolls for a round, the character may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number to all melee...

I would think that is a slippery slope that you are walking Hyper. So a person doesn’t have to take any attack to use power attack? That seems to fly both in the face of the rules and logic. The feat states: Benefit: On the character's action, before making attack rolls for a round, the...

What if the mount has fly by attack and the PC has ride by attack then if they are flying do they both get to attack?

When using the ride by attack can the mount make an attack or not?

Ok I guess that I understand now. The difference here is that cleave a triggered ability that is part of [b]any[\b] attack. I’m not going to argue your opinion but there is no facts that back it up. The other examples of actions that you list are prohibited outside your turn. An AoO does not...

Sure it is always possible that the monsters get really lucky but in that scenerio that you are describing it seems that a fireball could have just as easily picked off the group. I think that there are other ways that as a DM you can prevent TPK without changing the rules. Use the rules but...

I get what your saying, that because an attack happens when it is not your turn you lose some amount of skill with that attack. I don’t agree but assuming that I did, where do you draw the line? All combat feats are negated? Or just the ones that you chose? What is basis for chosing? Base...

The problem that I have with your ruling is that it adds additional mechanics to the system without a reason. The AoO attack without a doubt has has it’s limitations. You cannot take an AoO unless some foe grants one. But what you are trying to do is limit the power of something that is not an...

In 3.0 after looking through all the classes it seems that only the core classes can lose their abilities. Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, and Paladin. There were only two ways that they could become ex-classes. Either they change to a different alignment or an outside power intervienes and...

It seems that most of the requirements paragraphs say that a character needs to meet the requirements to add a level in the PrCs. I don’t see anything about keeping those requirements or losing access. I’ll keep looking though.

I think that the levels of spellcasting are class specific to each PrCs. If you look at some of the other PrCs they assign special abilities and +1 caster level in the same column. Usually in the ones that don’t have +1 caster level at every level. That would assume that the rate of gain in...

The spell casting classes do get the shaft but it isn’t the total shaft that the PrC gets. The PrC spell casters still suffer disproportionably. Let’s look at some examples: The Cleric (15): The Cleric(5) + any PrC that adds +1 spellcaster level and other abilities w/ prereq Wisdom 13 Both...

I can’t believe that you don’t see the problem with this. First of all, equating death and a ability loss doesn’t seem to be a good example as death negates everything and has nothing to do with prereqs. Second, this type of ruling puts an unfair disadvantage on the PrClasses. The very idea...

If this is how they ruled this then they are just plain crazy. 5th Level base class 10th level PrC Requirement 15 Str. Character strength 18 Character fails save versus bestow curse. DM to player: "oh BTW ignore all powers skills and other benefits that your character has learned for the...

I think that you over rate the power of this save or die function. It is a fortitude save and for the majority of foes it is their best save. This isn’t even close to the hold person willpower save that is more a true save or die at a lower level. As a long term buff spell for others they are...

Can you give some medium size examples that have amazing stats? Currently my character has: Str 20 Dex 21 Con 12 In most cases I would lose ground right. I was thinking of using it to turn into a giant and attacking. Yes my stats would change but I still could perish when I change back. You...

Are you talking about 3.5? If so, how does a 3.5 ruling supersede 3.0? I thought that they where seperate?

The spell in the T&B official update says not to?!?

Why was poly changed so much? I'm not seeing the reasoning for the non-complaince with the rules as far as constitution(no hp adjustment). Why put a HD limitation? Isn't the size good enough?
