ooc: thanks for updating the map! I wasn't sure where everyone "stood" this far into the combat. And BTW, my "slow non-combat posts" comment wasn't directed at you or the story! :o It was aimed more tongue-in-cheek at myself (well, maybe all of us) since before the combat there'd easily be...

Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade 3 "I'm fine, just starting to dance! Worry about Korwin! Come on, Kelsis, let's surround this brute and skewer him from both sides!" Kalythar moves into a flanking position (trying to avoid an AoO, but is willing to suck one up to get him there if need be)...

Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade 3 "Bah! Watch out, Kelsis! Apparently they're out looking for dates! This one has gone and thrown himself at me trying to give me a hug!" [ooc: Kalythar will shrug the unconscious rhodin off of him and stand up. I'm not sure how much of his turn that costs him...

"Nice shot, Kelsis!" Snarling about his own arrow missing, he turns to the rhodin who just attacked him and grins. "I knew I needed some practice. Remind me to thank them all later for offering themselves up as sparring dummies. Hey! Ugly! Here's yours!" After readying his shield, Kalythar aims...

Looks good to me! Only a couple final tweaks to consider: I think saying something is "a medium distance away" is...dumb. :\ I'm just not sure what I'd say instead. Moderate? Moderately Close? Intermediate? Nearby? Which is closer: Close or Near? Hrmph. :( Any ideas? Also, while I like the...

I hate it when that happens! Cool! I think we're almost done with this. Here's a few pitnickies &/or questions: I think "6th sense" should be "sixth sense" (told you I was being pitnicky! :D). With Deafness imposing a -4 penalty, you've now got Scent as the lamest Sense (since it's only a "2"...

Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade 3 Kalythar shoots at the rhodin on the right, then drops his bow and moves up to Kelsis' left side (as much as possible). During the move he draws his Athame. Working both hands around the hilt, he makes sure he has a good double-handed grip on it in the rain. He...

Yeah, even I have to admit I like Perception over Awareness. Mostly because of the action verb usage with "Perceive". Still, it is lacking the niftiness I'm looking for (but it still beats "Notice", IMO! ;) ) Doing a quick run on Notice, Perceive & Aware at Thesaurus.com yields these...

First off, assuming these rules are in a form I'm willing to adopt IMC, I'll be calling the secondary skill either Awareness or Perception. Both of those paint the "right" mental imagery for me when I think about asking repeatedly for checks using those skills. Make a Spot check... Make an...

Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade 3 Itching to test his skills in a "real fight", Kalythar takes a 5' step to the right then draws his bow while muttering the words to a Heightened Seeker spell (10% Arcane Spell Failure chance because of his armor). As soon as he can take a reasonable shot at Enemy...

Cool! :cool: You da man! :) Thanks. DrSpunj

I guess I didn't give Wizards enough credit to even bother checking the FAQ page figuring they'd drop all their 3.0 stuff trying to force everyone to go 3.5! Thanks for the link! DrSpunj

I tried this with the new version and got the same results. Anyone wanna tell me how to fix it? Or patch the revision so we can all download a corrected version? The utility is awesome, but until I'm convinced the "update" works better than the original I'm sticking with the original version...

Well, I said Action Skills should get verbs. Awareness, as you've defined it and I'm imagining it, is both passive and active. In its active mode it becomes closer to try and say "I Perceive...", which is why others (myself included) have offered up Perception instead of Awareness (it's used in...

Umm, I just looked and I must have deleted the last 3E (not 3.5E) Main FAQ. Anyone know where I can download a copy? And Hyp., thanks. I'll probably go with "first switch is Free, second switch is a Move Action" if it comes up again on a player's turn. DrSpunj

Well, I guess that's what I meant. A bat with Blindsense is likely going to get different bonuses and/or be able to use his "radar" in different circumstances than a dog using Scent. A Silence spell confounds (there's that word again ;) ) the former, actually negating an Awareness check, IMO...

I'd very much appreciate seeing the RAW on this as well. There have been situations where passing something from your weapon hand to your "light shield" hand seemed fine (as in, free), but I remember at least one time at the end of the turn I was faced with the player saying "Now I switch my...

It's not a bad one, but like you said it takes a bit of a mental shift to work on. Just a few quick thoughts before I let it mull awhile: We'll need special notes about the various senses that spell out when they allow a check and when not. That's not a big deal since we have to do the same...

Wow! I gotta remember that. It might come in useful someday! :p OTOH, I have no idea why/how you can effectively mute someone just because you've got them pinned. I just can't picture it. Oh, and about that BAB of +17 above? Total brainfart, I need more sleep! :o Sorry, SWAT! And thanks...

The Young Adult Green Dragon only has 3 attack actions to use on its turn. It has a BAB of 17, so it gets 3 attacks at +17/+12/+7. With Grapples he'd get +27/+22/+17. But you're correct in thinking the grappling defender (your 14th human fighter, which you list with a BAB of 15, so there's a...
