No. The reason you'd do it is for flexibility. If you don't know what kind of spell you might need later that day, but anticipate you'll have enough time to reprepare spells, you can leave a slot open to be filled later. That way you can later fill it if a need becomes pressing, for instance...

Not at all. In 3e, they specified them by size (small, medium, large, etc), which wasn't terribly clear either. For all the rules quirks involved in 3.x damage determination, a weapon needs three designations; a) what size wielder it is indended for. Use small, medium, large, etc for this...

You shouldn't start tinkering with the way bonuses work unless you want to create an accounting headache. I'm referring to "Improved Dodge" specifically. Maybe make it 1 point of dodge per 5 levels instead of 4, then you don't have to have the whacky stacking rule exception, but it still comes...

They should have simply called weapons too large to be wielded in one hand heavy weapons, then specified power attack, strength bonus to damage, et al, in terms of hands-used. Then the powergamers wouldn't get so much milage out of their confusion with the rules. "I can power attack for x2...

The FAQ clarifies the rules, and they make more sense with the clarification. When using a weapon in one hand, you get 1x your strength bonus. When using it in your off hand, you get 1/2 your strength bonus. When using it in two hands, you get 1 1/2 your strength bonus. That's the spirit of...

When using it in one hand, you're not using it two-handed, so you don't get the benefits of using it two handed. So many people have made this screwup, even though it's perfectly clear, that they addressed it in the FAQ.

On the page for the ENArsenal Two-Bladed Sword, the first review is by Bradford Ferguson. The product review page uses an excerpt from the first line of the review as a link to the review. Unfortunately, the first several words of BF's review are a link to the product at rpgnow, which gets...

Yes, because people asking if it would be possible, and/or offering to help, is exactly the same as dictating to you like you're a slave.

It's in the Eberron CS. Valenar double scimitar. Has the stats you would expect. As to whether it could be used with a special ability that referred specifically to a scimitar, I doubt it, by the letter of the rules. Weapon focus: longsword doesn't apply to a two-bladed sword, which is the...

Your standards for what to implement are hard for a user like me to fathom. There was no huge outcry to implement the tags, but you implemented them. Why, then, require a huge outcry to make them optional for viewing? Heck, php isn't that hard, I'll volunteer to do it if that will take a load...

You can require them for posting, and still make them turn-offable for viewing. Some people don't want the clutter on their screens since skim the threads by title. That's valuable screen real-estate being wasted on a feature that we don't want.

Mmpm, thanks. Is it the normal stacking rule for D&D, or do they really mean increase by 50%? IE, if a large weapon costs 100gp, a huge is +50%, that's 150gp. Is gargantuan 200gp or 225gp? Similarly for tiny, diminutive, and fine, I guess. Does it go 100% small, 75% tiny, 50% diminutive...

The PHB specifies that a large weapon costs double the medium version, and weighs twice as much. A small weapon costs the same as the medium, but weighs half. It doesn't go any further than that, though there are rules for extrapolating damage for huge, gargantuan, colossal, tiny, diminutive...

Of course it's an unarmed strike. He's considered to be using a light weapon, so yes, he takes the -4 for using a light weapon. Even if he has improved disarm, that only puts him on par with someone using a medium-sized weapon. If he uses a sai, I think it has a +4 bonus to disarm attempts...

There's a feat in Oriental Adventures, Great Throw, (prereq was Improved Trip I believe). When you successfully tripped someone, you could make them land in any square around you. Something like that. It may have made it into Complete Warrior or one of the other newsplats. Exactly intended...

There are two house rules in the bolded sentence. Improved natural attack is a monster feat, not available to PCs without a house-rule. Unarmed strikes are not a natural attack. Claw/bite/tail slap/etc are natural attacks. No wonder you got 8d10 damage. ;)

Bump for the game today, I updated my character stats. Also so it doesn't slide into oblivion, so we can find the thread :)

I don't like it, though, the base should be 1 for the sake of cleanness. I use 1 + level*.4 for medium saves, even though it's not the published medium save, because it's better.

http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=2842389&postcount=75 I was curious as to what point I was incorrect about. You're right, Fox legal wasn't involved, only George from Eden Games was involved in pushing around hexgames to make them take down their product. Which is actually more despicable...

I read it in real time, as it happened, thanks. Whatever George's protestations, it was self-serving and detestable.
