    UPDATED: True Strike + Impr. Trip [Confused about Tripping]

    "Sweeping" is a special weapon ability found in Magic of Faerun. I believe its a +1 bonus. It grants +4 on the opposed strength check in a trip attack, if memory serves me correctly. Sweeping Weapon, Plus Imp. Trip, plus high Str is a pretty neat combo. Especially with Boots of Steadiness...

    Defeated by puzzle - campaign over: Here is the offending puzzle!

    I think it was Crothain posted a good system earlier with intelligence tied to how long it took to solve the puzzle. There were lots of ways around what happened to Roman's party.

    Defeated by puzzle - campaign over: Here is the offending puzzle!

    Well the campaign is over. The DM was stubborn enough to ax the whole game over. The least he could do would be to cough up the answer. I agree its always best to be more politic in communication. Perhaps I have been to forceful in my expression of disappointment. But I don't think the...

    Round 10 is OVER

    Heh. I said they may be useful. Certain the regular ones are not. ;)

    Tell your GM we solved the puzzle, but then refuse to give him the answer. Or [insert other nonsensical response to nonsensical, capricious absurdity].

    Round 10 is OVER

    EMPOWER SPELL [METAMAGIC] EXTEND SPELL [METAMAGIC] STILL SPELL [METAMAGIC] The sudden versions of these may be worth it. These are not.

    A miser to the end. Heck, a miser beyond the end.

    Defeated by puzzle - campaign over: Here is the offending puzzle!

    I would invite you to have you GM post on these boards, but I think it would get so heated that the thread would be instantly closed. I can't hink of an appropriate way tp hold this GM out to the public ridicule he deserves and still abide by the forum rules. I guess the best way is to refer...

    What Craft Skill for Making Thieves Tools & the Like?

    That's one way to do it. You can also do Craft (Tools). I've seen this in a rulebook. It is either in WOTC's Eberron Players Guide or in in the Iron Kingdom's Player's Guide. Craft (Tool) is pretty neat because it allows you to make all kinds of tools. But I think the above solution would work...

    Costing Out: Ranged Touch Attack Bracers

    I don't follow the logic of this. There's a lack of ranged touch attack items, but plenty of "regular" attack roll items so ranged touch attach items should be more costly? I don't understand it as a matter of opinion, and it certainly doesn't seem grounded in any rule or suggested guideline I...

    Costing Out: Items that Boost One Save

    Seems reasonable to me. Others?

    Costing Out: Items that Boost One Save

    Ok, I believe the forumula for magic items that give bonuses to saves is something like bonus squared x 1000 gp (correct me if I'm wrong). But that forumula assumes you boost ALL saves. What if you just want to boost one save, say fort saves for a wizard? Divide by three? How would you all...

    Costing Out: Ranged Touch Attack Bracers

    The problem: My toon needs help with ranged touch attacks and he wants to craft an item. He has Craft Wonderous and Craft Arms/Armor and is currently Caster lvl 6. I got the idea for Ranged Touch Attack Bracers from the Bracers of Archery below. I was thinking of modeling Ranged Touch Attack...

    Party Conflict

    I agree. Actual roleplaying had been somwhat lackluster in my game until a conflict developed between two party members. That sparked an hour and a half of pure roleplaying (and subsequent interludes) between the players alone. It was freaking awesome. However, this is purely a roleplaying...

    Thief, the Dark Project, the RPG?

    Not at all. You are already light years ahead of many GMs in terms of the story, mood and background in which you want to set your games. Find mechanics that will fit your story, but spend more time on your story. The beauty about the D20 system is that it has some simple basics: high rolls...

    Thief, the Dark Project, the RPG?

    Yeah, me neither. Here's a question: Does anyone know where I can find a collection of Hammerite or Mechanist "barks" or other statements? I'd like a list of their sayings and phrases to use in my game since my tune worships the builder.
