"The character casts the desired spell and then follows it with the permanency spell. " "Spell" is singular. You would need a separate scroll for each spell made permanent. As to potions... I probably wouldn't allow it. Potions are niether spell-completion nor spell-trigger items, so I...

Not that I ever heard of. It might have been a very early draft, though. I didn't start seeing stuff until a few months before it was released. This sounds very doubtfull.

Okay, in this example the PC has: 1. Taken a Standard Action to shoot an arrow. 2. Taken a Standard Action to Ready an Action 3. Taken a Partial Action to Dodge at a later time. That's one too many Standard Actions. You cannot substitute a Standard Action for a Move or Move Equivalent Action...

There are 5 action types, each with strict rules as to what can or cannot be accomplished. Part of a standard action is a move. A partial action is usually a standard action minus the move. "Ready [Standard][AoO: No] Description: The ready action lets a combatant prepare to take an action...

Riga, A move is not considered a *separate* action from a standard action it is considered part and parcel of the standard action. The category of Move Only Actions isn't one of the 5 basic action types. A run is a Full Round Action and a double move is a Standard action. By your line of...

No worries. Clerics cast their domain spells as divine spells so there is no arcane failure rate for casting in armor. These spells are just as divine as any regular cleric spell that also appears on the Sorcerer spell list (such as Bull's Strength). Think of the domain spell lists as...

That's cool. Glad it wasn't intended to be bitter. One of the things I like about 3e is that for the most part the assumptions are pushed out into the spotlight. (The definition of a "Standard Magic Campaign" through wealth charts and magic item pricing is a fine example.) When the...

Well, I'm glad tempers have cooled and we can discuss this. Because I think that it does really raise the question as to what consumers (like myself, but mostly others :) ) want when we purchase a module. As a DM, I don't really care whether they were intentional or not. The way they...

You don't expect me to read all of the previous posts, do you? Good. I am not a prude. (And I live in a place where it is perfectly legal for women to walk the streets topless. Some even do so.) The pictures in question do not offend me on their own merits. What I have problems with is the...

Hey, I got it too. SKR's rants are usually pretty funny for all the wrong reasons. His rant about "Enchantment" (it has a specific game meaning, therefore it should never be used in the vernacular ever again) is a prime example.

Actually, it's worse than you think. ;) The range would be 12-20. Base: 18-20 (3 units) Keen: 15-20 (6 units) Imp. Cr.: 12-20 (9 units) It isn't really unbalanced. The scimitar (and rapier) only do d6 damage so this only helps to level the playing field with the longsword or the bastard...

Given that these are the guys who wrote the Hackmaster books, I think that we should expect things to be over the top. I know that it is apples and oranges (Hackmaster and Kalamar) but they don't seem like the type of folks to be able to take off their 1e hats whenever they feel like it. I...

Wait a minute! How does a fighter get WWA at 5th level. Level 1 - Dodge, Mobility, Expertise Level 2 - Spring... oh, wait, BAB +4 requirement... something else. Level 3 - Something Else Level 4 - Spring Attack Level 5 - no feat Level 6 - Whirlwind Attack You aren't doing something cheesy like...

It really depends. Most of the time, at higher levels, a fighter is better off using his iterative attacks to focus on one enemy at a time. But against: 1) Low HP Opponents, who you can take out in fewer hits (not rounds) than there are enemies (2 hits each on 3 enemies) WWA will end a...

Everyone seems to have you on the right track for Partial, Standard and Free Actions. Full Round Actions have been glossed over, though. Again, Full-Round Actions are not a measurment of time, it is an action type. When an action is described it will say whether it is a Standard or a Full...

If a L2 Warrior is supposed to have 900gp worth of equipment and a CR1 encounter is supposed to make 300gp worth of treasure available to the PCs, then you can divide it up how you want between these lines. I think that the DMG suggests that you count goods as equal to their "resale" value when...

You know, as much as I am wary of the balance implications, I think that Virago might be right. Intentions aside, the rules are pretty clear. The designers had the option to make WWA a Full *Round* action instead of a full-attack action, but they didn't exercise this option. Did the designers...

I'm pretty lenient I agree that the mental stat boosting items are a jypped a bit in this respect. A fighter can take off his belt of giant strength and put it back on and immediately gain the full bonuses. I don't bother with losing bonus spells if an item is taken off (or becomes inert) for...

I think that the DMG guidelines are pretty clear that Skill and Ability checks are used to accomplish something, and Saving Throws are used to avoid something. So if you are trying to avoid a large creature in close proximity, I think that madfox has the right mechanic. Reflex Save (DC15-20?)...

Nah, they're just Experts. Pick your 10 class skills and hit the Catskill's circuit. Prestidigitator is the word that you're looking for: almost literally, "Someone who makes things appear with his fingers" . IRL, this is the word that is used to distinguish slight of hand artists from those...
