It's in the first few lines of the entry: Putting that together with the Augmented subtype entry in the back of the MM on page 306 clarifies quite a bit. EDIT: Except for the errata which makes this moot! (see next couple posts!) Hope that helps. DrSpunj

Eh, no biggie. It's actually not the longest I've seen here. Someone managed to double post exactly 24 hrs later, down to the minute, though that was before the upgrade. Regardless, please forward me your work-in-progress if you're willing. The least I can do is read through it and offer my...

I remember reading somewhere that Racial abilities should be balanced against the race's Favored Class. The Half-Orc is a clear example of this as a +2 Str with -2 Int & -2 Cha is (arguably) fair for the proto-typical Barbarian, however certainly isn't "balanced" for Half-Orc Wizards, Sorcerers...

Wow! :eek: That's like a 20+ hour double post! Cool! :cool: DrSpunj

You know, it does. Actually the point that starts to drive it home was your closing statement: I think that's what I've been trying to do with these racial levels, is peg them into a hole. Pulling back and objectively not doing that may allow me to at least start thinking about them from a...

I have to agree with shilsen, since they addressed a ranged attack randomly affecting any target involved in a grapple I think it was a conscious design decision on their part, just not a good one. :) IMC my House Rule uses the same chance as that defined in the Core Rules for attacking...

Good, that's how I picture them in the Eaglesford world, too. I just wasn't sure how far you'd gone with the whole "miner" aspect of their culture and if it was pretty far and I just hadn't see that side of them yet, then a melee weapon may make some sense. I thought that's where Videssian was...

Well, yes and no. I believe anyone pumping a lot into the Hide skill would defeat these with a good roll (reference: Arnold coming out of the mud and attacking the Predator despite the latter's Infravision) and I haven't seen a lot in the rules to support or refute that, so that's currently my...

I do use a simple "Fumble" rule that looks similar to others posted here, but I don't believe it suffers from the drawbacks others have listed. We actually call it the "Stumble" rule, for reasons that I hope will become quickly apparent. :) First, I don't use auto-hit and auto-miss. A natural...

As you wish. I actually brought it up in case you didn't realize you were doing it (i.e. habit). Both here and on the Yahoo board you almost always include an entire post (or even multiple posts) in your replies. I wasn't sure if it was a choice on your part or not, and if so, what you believe...

Nail, since the rules seem to agree with you...ummm...what's your beef with them again? :confused: Although I have to say, with what I've bolded above from the 3.5 SRD, the Core rules would allow someone to read in the dark; after all, a book is typically black on a white background. What's...

Please take time before our next session to update your House Rules document to reflect this so we, as players, know what to expect in your game. While you're at it try to tackle Scent, too. Actually, with those two nerfs put together I'm sensing you like surprises and don't like them being...

NO! I mean, please don't go to all that trouble. It's not a big deal (to me anyway). If it's IE5 then so be it. I'm sure you have lots of other important (and hopefully more fun!) things to do with your time. I just wanted to point it out in case it was something to do with the new boards...

You are or I was. :p I didn't think anyone but a Mod could actually delete a post, even one you wrote. Otherwise, why would there be all those accidental double and triple posts laying around various threads that people edit down to "double post" and whatnot? I think the best you can do on...

Might be. The Admins have alot of stuff locked out, even on individual office systems (as opposed to the ones used by multiple people). Anyway, the Version Number according to Properties is: 5.51.4807.2300 I'll check and see when I get home if I notice the same thing on my Mac (though that's...

I noticed while perusing this thread that several of the quotes are dropping all or part of a single letter along the right border/side of the post. The specific posts are #13 (drops the 'e' from 'be' on the second line of the 2nd quoted text); #15 (part of the second 't' of 'that' at the end...

I noticed in Unearthed Arcana today there are a number of Exotic Weapons listed in the Weapon Groups section that appear in the Arms & Equipment Guide and the Complete Warrior. One of them, the Dire Pick, seems like it might be an Exotic Melee Weapon that would fit here. It can be used 2-handed...

Okay, just had a chance to look over the Racial Weapon Familiarity rules vs Proficiencies. Elves are the only race to get the latter instead of the former. Note that a Heavy Pick is a Martial Weapon. That doesn't work with Familiarity as that ability "treats a <specific> exotic weapon as a...

Either role would do well in our current party make-up, or even a multi-class split of the two. While I agree that Familiarity would be a small but definite plus, and wouldn't tip my proposal over to a +1 LA, I'm not sure I'd agree with it being the racial weapon of one of your racial enemies...

Doh! Missed that! :o Thanks for pointing it out again. Thinking about it, I don't think that's fair to Web. After all, it is a 2nd level spell, while Entangle's only 1st level. There are some other distinct differences between the spells, but most creatures will likely be able to walk out of...
