I guess we just have a fundamental difference of opinion here, then. All my knowledge and understanding of these situations points to the fact that most of the time, the cheating spouse does not tell the one (s)he cheated on. You say it's her job to tell you. I say chances are high she never...

You're right. But I am willing to risk losing a good friend to be a good friend. I think it's safe to say we all care about our friends. In this case, that care would drive me to be the best possible friend I could. And that means braving the danger and doing right by my friend. If I puss...

Well said.

I've never heard of this Guy Code. But if a friend of mine decided that the other guy was more deserving of loyalty than me, I wouldn't consider him my friend ever again. No friend of mine would allow me to continue believing I had a wife who loved me, if he knew she was sleeping with someone...

I can't think of a cite that deals with this, but I would rule: no. You cannot tumble while prone, and you cannot tumble while getting up. There is however, I believe, a thief-acrobat ability that lets you get up from prone without provoking, and there may be a high-level tumble check that...

Actually, it's apples and apples to me. If you stick the PC to a giant rock, he can't teleport because he'll exceed the weight limits. If you stick the PC to an unwilling passenger and rule the passenger must be included in the spell, then either the passenger exceeds the spell's limit (if...

What an unusual topic. I think I'd rule that the paladin could teleport away, leaving the NPC and glue behind. Otherwise you could stop someone from teleporting, dimension dooring, or plane shifting with nothing more than a tanglefoot bag, and that sits wrong with me. A tanglefoot bag is a...

I voted 'Other.' For me, a game becomes "epic" when the characters start performing actions and becoming heroes that are the stuff of greatness. For example, the game I currently play became epic at 12th-level, when my PC completed the Trials of Antagon, and earned a place among the Paladins...

If you don't tell the husband about this, then you are not his friend. Close, distant, whatever, no kind of friend keeps that kind of information to himself. And if you do keep it to yourself and he finds out, then he'll know you're not his friend. So if you want to keep him as your friend...

My suggestion is to have the character move on, but never forget. Have her send money to the town to help with the rebuilding. Have her take the Leadership feat and send loyal soldiers there to defend the town against the winter attacks (which no doubt will continue, even though the town is...

This is the big penalty. For the average human, you'd be moving 15' per round, or 3 squares, instead of the regular 6 you'd normally be allowed. That's a massive disadvantage. So unless you're a high-level monk who can afford to burn movement, always tumbling is not a smart decision for most...

What level are we talking here? As you level, both of those respective advantages (+1 AC vs. 1/- DR) are going to fade into insignificance. What's +1 to AC vs. a critter that has a +30 to hit? What's 1/- DR vs. a critter that hits for 2d8+20? Nothing. That said, if you're buffing yourself...

As I see it, the difference is in how a particular animal becomes "superior" and what that means. I think assuming that the two types of creature improvement are the same, based on the use of the word "superior" is a mistake. In the case of Advancing creatures, this is not something that...

As a concept, I've always liked Weis & Hickman's Rose of the Prophet series, for illustrating a world in which a god's power is dependent upon his worshippers. Each facet of Sul, the gem of truth, was a god, a...viewpoint...of the Truth. And as more of mankind worshipped a particular god, that...

Interesting. I had this same problem while creating a campaign villain, a werebat wizard. I wound up just creating a new feat, Lycanthropic Spell, that functioned exactly like Natural Spell, save it only worked for lycanthropes in their alternate forms. And here I thought I was creating a...

There were actually two. One was, as you state, "Darmock and Jalad at Tenagra." They were enemies there, but become allies when faced with a common foe. The second is "Darmock and Jalad on the ocean" in which they went on a voyage together, representing the fast frendship that had developed...

I'm basically in complete agreement with Shilsen. I'd allow Natural Spell to function normally. The fact that a creature is underwater is moot. The creature can cast spells using its natural voice and movements, even if that voice is virtually silent and the movement is basically a flaring of...

This is how I see it. I don't allow a solid adamantine quarterstaff in my campaigns. I do allow quarterstaffs to be shod in special materials (silver, cold iron, adamantine). It doesn't cost as much as a true adamantine weapon, nor does it have any of adamantine's special properties, save the...

Except we aren't talking about a normal character with class levels. We're talking about a normal character with class levels plus a Divine Rank of 0. So the class levels give us a CR of 20, and the Divine Rank 0 apparently doesn't up the CR any. It doesn't follow that the LA is 0, unless the...

I've done something similar in ever campaign I've run so far in 3.x. But in my case the NPC level wasn't entirely "free." I required each PC to start with one level in an NPC class, chosen to reflect the character's background. I figured it would help them think a bit about their character's...
