    Crazy Question On Shields

    If one were to take the conservative, literalist interpretation of that rule, there would be no defending with maces, quarterstaves, tridents, flails, etc...

    Crazy Question On Shields

    And can you take Weapon Focus (Shield) or would you have to take Weapon Focus (Light Shield) and Weapon Focus (Heavy Shield) if you were to have one of each?

    Crazy Question On Shields

    So... what I would have to do is make the shields masterwork for the armor check benefit, and then make the spikes masterwork for the attack bonus?

    Crazy Question On Shields

    Ok... let's say for some crazy reason, you've taken Two Weapon Fighting, Improved Shield Bash, and picked up two shields, heavy and light. Is there a way to magically improve both the AC and the damage caused by the shields? Does a masterwork shield give +1 to the attack roll, or just decrease...

    Equipping a 2nd level Warmage

    When you can afford it, I'd say you should get a masterwork Elven Darkleaf Breastplate. Good ol' Elven Darkleaf... poor man's mithral.

    Help: Evil DM sundered my wand :(

    I wonder if he decided that the wand was unbalancing, and decided to use an in-game solution to reneg on the gift.

    Fighter Question

    If you go a disarm/trip route, I'd say go for a flail. It's a relatively flashy weapon, you get a +2 to disarm attacks, you can use it to trip opponants, and you still have the three fighting options, flail and shield, heavy flail, or by burning a fighter feat on exotic weapon proficiency or...

    Critical Fumble?

    I've played with rules where if you roll a 1, confirm it, and fail a dc 12 reflex save, you hit yourself with (it's always been the fighter, and they've always been using a sword) your quillon. Subdual damage. It generally happens less than one tenth of one percent of the time, but it sucks...

    Reactive vs Requested Sense Motive checks

    DM should make a reactive roll behind the screen. It balences the game without tempting metagaming.

    Sources of Damage Reduction available to players

    The Mark of Avernus Curse grants DR 5/mag and Fire Resistance 5 (but also keeps you from healing normally and causes you to die at 0 instead of -10. It's from the Ashes of Innocence Living Greyhawk mod

    Suggestions for Campaign settings?

    I've been playing in Greyhawk (Though I really miss Forgotten Realms). One of the pros of Greyhawk is that much of the source material is available free because of the people playing in Living Greyhawk. The main site is http://www.living-greyhawk.com/ , but I usually deal with...

    Best Non Magic Items

    How about poisons? Are there any that one could treat their weapons with that could even the odds in a tough fight? Also... are there alignment risks in using poisons? I'm Chaotic Neutral, so no problem for me, but the rest of my party is Chaotic or Lawful Good.

    Best Non Magic Items

    Good call, I just reread their entry... mighty sweet. I've never used or seen one used, so I always just relegated them to 'Items that seem cool, but I'd never use' like caltrops.

    Best Non Magic Items

    My DM has a vendetta against tower shields... he doesn't like the idea of people carrying around a 5x3 piece of metal with them.

    Best Non Magic Items

    The best I've found so far is Elven Darkleaf (From Arms & Equipment) which, dropping the armor category by 1 (e.g. med to light), lowering the spell failure rate by 5%, increasing the dex bonus by 1 and decreasing the check penalty by 2, is basically super-cheap mithral.
