    attacking with double bows

    Actually, I believe the second bow counts as the "off-hand attack" and to use it you would need to take the Multiweapon Fighting feat. Viable, did it for an assassin a couple years ago. For a more recently printed idea, see how they did it with the Arrow Demon.

    Hexes NOT Squares?

    Hex-blade WHOA. That's a great idea. IF you know what the natural reach circle of a creature is to start with. If we go by bases, the Halfling and the Half-Orc have the same sized base. That just doesn't work out for the same sized paper circle. IF we got rid of the whole "this is my...

    Do you trust your DM?

    Other I AM the DM in my group, and have been in all my game groups for most of my game time. The times I DID get to play, the answer was NO, MOSTLY because that's the kind of games they ran - screw the players into following the storyline I want (but don't P.O. the wife...) so we did wierd...

    Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 13

    D&D Political Systems

    Dietary Habits of the local BBG That's the rub. While I would much rather have a red dragon as my Lord and Protector, it's not bloody likely. So, I must defer to the much weaker and short lived HUMANS. Ugh. If I were a fantasy critter, I would most likely look to Treants and the like, followed...

    And thus it ends ...sorta

    Try Really Hard Mega - my sympathies and congrats for getting on the path to recovery. Thornir - Mav hit the nail on the head with that one. Long story short version - I cheated on my wife at the beginning of our marriage (no excuse, but being away from home for over a year is hard on the...

    D&D Political Systems

    Whoa up there, fusangite! The RAW specifically state that a Cleric need not have a patron deity, and can even ignore the Prime Philosophies of Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos when choosing spells and domains. Also, one must include druidic faiths in this discussion - most of the tree-hugging hippies...

    Best way to cope with less than 4 players?

    I voted for "adjust the adventure", but I do have parties from time to time where the players can't decide between character concepts, and I allow players to run multiple characters. Sometimes it works, but most times, as mentioned before, both characters suffer. While they may be initially...

    Natural Attacks and the Monk's Class Abilities

    That's EXACTLY what I have done - house rules errata: Add the following lines to the Multiattack Feat: Special: This feat allows creatures with natural attacks to use their natural attacks in a Monk's Flurry of Blows. The natural attacks count as the creatures base unarmed damage, and improve...

    Cursing

    I SWEAR LIKE A SAILOR (but only at work) :] LOL :heh: As a sailor, and native of a town in the great American "Bible Belt" I understand the frustration. It's surprisingly not that hard to retrain, or to switch back and forth depending on the crowd. All of the above methods will work if you...

    Cursespewing Weapon ability is badly broken... fix ?

    Yeah, for a spellcaster. That's why in my games I lump them in with Fighters, since they get the same hit dice and attack bonuses, just trading the Infinite Feats for a little bit of "and now you are down to my level" spellcasting. With a high Dex and some decent magic items, the Hexblade can...

    Cursespewing Weapon ability is badly broken... fix ?

    Not That Bad Consider the Hexblade, who can do the same thing pretty much every time he goes into combat, and at higher levels increases his curse to a -6 penalty. That's going to SUX for anyone getting hit by it before/at the beginning of combat. The Cursespewing weapon save is DC 15, so any...

    The feel-good family movie of the year - Stephen King's THE SHINING

    Now THAT'S a movie I would take the wife to see.

    Race with +2 to CHR

    I believe the Dromites from the Expanded Psi Handbook are 0 ECL, and they get +2 Cha, -2 Str, and -2 Wis. Penalties suck, but great race for Sorcerer or Bard since they have natural armor, along with the psi-like ability. Further afield... Dark Sun 3.5 updated the Pterran race. They get +2 Wis...

    Monsters, extra actions, and Shapechange

    That's LOOODACRIS! Where might I find the Master Transmogrifist and Warshaper PrC's? If all that comes out legal, I need to start statting up an epic encounter.....

    Knowledge skills in the Islamic empire

    Game On! LOL Probably a setting I would love to playtest, but it looks like my shedule is full - even skipping today's game to catch up on work when I am done checking the boards. Bump this post when your setting is ready though. That would be SWEET.

    Knowledge skills in the Islamic empire

    Quickleaf, Your ideas are great, I am looking for a middle-eastern flavored region in my campaign world and am not as familiar with the history. I seem to have found a lot of what you are looking for on other people's websites and in the Netbooks. Anyone I stole this from, please take the...

    Challenge: Make Knowledge Skills Useful

    SWEET idea. I am adding +2 synergy bonus to all knowledge skills by having 5 or more ranks in Concentration, and +2 synergy bonus to Concentration by having 5 or more ranks in any two knowledge skills. /steal

    Power Gaming

    And from that day forth, they were arch-enemies... Not necessarily. That's the "role playing" part of it. If your player want's to be a BBGG, let him run rampant over the local fodder (rats, goblins, kobolds, etc.). Then let him bask in the glory that is appreciative townsfolk. Then, as his...

    How terrible is the multiclass XP penalty?

    As a DM, I house rule exactly that - skill bonuses (not the physical ones like jump, the ones like Craft and Diplomacy), languages, weapon proficiency and favored classes are separated from the other racial abilities and go under the heading "Culture". So, characters in my campaign who are...
