For anyone who has the book: Can you give me more information about the Nimble Stand skill trick? Does it allow you to always stand up without provoking an AoO, or is there a limit to the number of times per combat it can be used? Also can the skill tricks Nimble Stand and Back on Your Feet be...

That works right up until you run into an old school DM like myself. Then you try that trick and get sucked into the astral Plane. :eek:

Thanks Bivtar. I was hoping I missed some rule someplace, but it sounds like wizards isn't leaving me too much to work with. Oh well, time to go talk to my group about this. Thanks again.

If my Warblade executes the Insightful Strike manuever, and the attack roll turns out to be a critical hit, does the Damage for the strike get his weapon's critical multiplier? Or does this the insightful stike damage just exist with no possibility of being multiplied. Thanks Kai

What the 108 yard missed field goal return against the Giants didn't clue you into that? :D As a Bears fan, all I can say is it's a shame that had to happen on MNF. Now the whole country knows what Deven Hester can do... I was praying that someone missed that and gave us a few more gifts in...

Another option is to have one of the mentor's "adversaries" show up with a bunch of lower level hirelings. That way the mentor tells the PCs to handle the hirelings and he'll take care of the big bad guy. Then scoot the heavy hitters off to the side and rather then rolling dice just make...

a few things you can do with a familiar... 1) Scout/Spy (who bothers with a sea bird circing near the sea shore.) 2) Use it as a messanger. (have it carry a letter.) 3) Deliver Helpful touch spells in combat. 4) This creature shares your skills... So your DM may allow it to do an "Aid Another"...

If you want to make this simeple just have the "school" be either a gladiator's arena in some major city/country in your campaign. Look at it this way: The manuvers were specally designed to "Impress" the common folk, and to immitate the stories told about other contries fighting units. The...

Ok here's a Tome of Battle Question: My Warblade was using the Blood in the Water Stance durring one of our encounters. He got a full attack and used the combat rhythm option of the Stormguard Warrior feat to turn his lowest bonus attack into a melee touch attack. I then rolled a 20 to hit...

The whole question came up when I started thinking about the fact that my Arcane Trickster can only apply Sneak Attack to one ray, but we have been playing that damage reduction gets applied three times. It all comes down to the question: Is the spell a single source of energy damage, or is...

I think I have been playing this wrong.... When someone casts a volley spell, such as an 11th level Scorching Ray, against something with Energy Resistance. How many times is the resistance applied. In the example above all three rays go to the same creature which has fire resistance 5. Does...

My wife and I are both born and bread Illinoisians. After reading this thread, we re-watched parts of the episode, and he sounds totally normal to us. Jack is using an authentic central Illinois accent. Believe it or not, there really isn't ONE American accent. We can count at least 4...

From my entire gaming group over here in Chicago... Our best wishes and thoughts are with all the people of London. May the evil of terrorism never strike your city again, and perhaps more importantly let us all join together and work to make sure that all of human kind learns the futility of...

That's where you are wrong my friend... Per Dictionary.com The definition of Pizza is: "A baked pie of Italian origin consisting of a shallow breadlike crust covered with seasoned tomato sauce, cheese, and often other toppings, such as sausage or olives" Notice the word pie. When is the last...

A major battle for us can be a VERY long process. The last one I can think of took us 2 hours... But then that was one, where we knew we were going in so we had a ton of allies, The BBEG knew we were there and so he had a bunch of demon allies and there were a ton of innocents.... So between...

Vraille you are a brave brave man to even bring this up.. I've got some of my wife's extended family down south that nearly tossed my brother-in-law in a lake just for saying that he liked beef BBQ better the pork. However as a Yank from Chicago, I'm much less militant about this. (Pizza and...

If you are willing to spend a couple feats you can also use Flick of the Wrist to gain a ranged sneak attack on someone. In our game we have found that sneak attacking from range is hard to come by. However magic makes it MUCH easier. So I normally either work with the party's casters, or...

We use dungeons when they make sense.... An abandoned dwarf mine that the clan needs cleaned out, A small tomb that some ancient evil built to guard the high priest of a deposed god, Even a small cave complex that was taken by some hobgoblins as a lair. But gone are the days when we lock the...

Selling 0 level Spell books As Spider said that's what the SRD says.... Let me suggest however that you not just handwave the selling of that book. Role play out the selling as it should be hard to find someone who is willing to pay that much for a spellbook that has spells they already have...

Remember that Invisibility gives a bonus to hide a hide check. (+20 if moving, +40 if standing still) Assuming that the assassin hides as well as being invisible, you should have a good chance of getting past the druid's spot checks for a few rounds.
