although a little late in the game to be of any real help, i recall there's a template that could be applied to large groups of fairly low-HD monsters, that allow them to become a huge swarm called a 'mob' - i think the rules are in the DMG2, but i'm not sure. edit: DMG2, page 59. it mostly...

i just realized that the PHB2's 'infernal sorcerer howl' is akin to a reserve feat, but actually eats up the spell slot in question; it's quite good at lower levels, but would probably run out of steam at higher levels; it's mitigated by a fort. save for half, but it is sonic energy, which is...

i'd think because they're a lesser-powered version of whatever spell they're derived from; think of it this way, how much less powerful could you possibly make a 1st level spell and still make it somewhat viable? extrapolating the trend in reserve feats, that'd leave us with a force feat that...

a PC in my campaign mentioned something toward this end and after a quick read, i'm fairly interested in it myself. the mechanics seem sound, however, i'm not so sure i, or the PC, want to be cooped up in a building, running a business while their friends are out and about, doing what...

Bah! I knew something was wrong. I double checked the appropriate text and saw it wasn't 'average' but 'good', my bad and I do apologize. @irdeggman - thanks for pointing that out, i'd actually only saw the text accompanying the 'hover' feat and thought that was the final ruling on the matter...

it has been my belief that he gets both. however, i've found this to be a pain in my games, so i've ruled it to just be the cohort, which is nothing to scoff at as most people would rather recruit a 7th level barbarian sidekick, rather than a dozen or so commoners with ranks in profession...

one of my PCs is interested in taking this invocation and after i gave it a good read, i was rather surprised. unlike most of the invocations, it doesn't merely emulate a preexisting spell, it actually gives flight, along with a maneuvreability. with the fly spell, i noticed that you could do...

just a fairly simple question: does the maximum dex bonus for certain heavier armours actually lower the character's dex while wearing the armour, insofar as initiative, ranged attack, reflex saves, dex-based skills and armour class; or does it just lower the potential armour class bonus gained...

No reason I could think of. Untyped stacks with every other type of bonus.

Truespeak is a skill, based on intelligence. Most of the truespeak abilities - such as blasting foes, and helping allies - are based upon the successful use of this skill. Unfortunately, the DC's get exponentially more difficult as you level and use them. I've heard of a few fixes, but they...

i'd say that all these redefined rules allow is for a PC to be able to improve an existing item at the same cost, rather than have a run-around where he loses time and money, such as the case of selling your old periapt of wisdom +2 for half (2000gp) cost to buy a periapt of wisdom +4...

oh, i've recently come to love the joys of wealth auditing - especially with players who have horrid writing and have chickenscratched incomplete information down on their character sheets! but anyhow, if some people appear to be below the norm (i discovered that ironically, out of my four PCs...

hmm, you've kinda painted yourself into a corner on this one, eh? maybe say that at one time it was every 1st and 2nd level book (an odd treasure, to say the least), but many of the books have extensive water damage and really, only part of one of the tomes made it, but can be pawned for $2000...

i think i should weigh in on this issue with perhaps a little further information: one player in my group likes saving up for very long term item purchasing, and typically will refrain from accepting anything for four or more adventures, so as to buy a slightly higher-powered item. naturally...

i don't want to pull out a veto on my player or anything, but i believe that the intention of the feat would require a roll each round, even if the wording indicates otherwise.

this is a really simple question, but does anyone that is flanking someone, who can sneak attack, able to use this ability? let's say, for example two goblin rogues rushed a pc's fighter, if they were both flanking, could they both fire* off a sneak attack, or could only the one that the pc is...

i think to keep with the 'chaos' theme of the feat, the text reads '...on your next action...', but it seems odd that someone who is unable to take actions would also have their own personal store of chaotic energy patiently wait, locked in its own last die roll, for them to be able to take...

long story short, if someone is under the effects of 'chaos devotion' from the complete champion and rolled a 6 (giving them +6 to armour class), and is then brain-locked (dazed) for 3 rounds, would they follow through and re-roll their chaos devotion each round or would they keep the original...

I did mention this to them several times. Basically, I felt that if something's over 100gp, or masterwork, they could haggle it, because I didn't want them to haggle over piddly things and waste the whole evening. They're newer to 3e so the highest charisma in the group is 9 and noone has any...

i think i should weigh in: while some of the treasure cannot be used by all due to completely random fluke, or a character who could use it chosing not to (fighter preferring to use hand axes instead of greatsword, ect.), i do try to include things that someone in the party could definitely...
