The majority of games I've participated in have houseruled TWF to be one feat just as you've done it. A few have even added the benefits of Oversized TWF for free if the character has at least 13 strength. So far it has brought up classes like the ranger decently (though not as much as many...

Well, it seems that I can't log out from anywhere now either.

Now we're getting somewhere. Thank you for expanding on your thoughts. I likewise agree that the DM doesn't know what's best 100% of the time. He or she is only human after all. But it is certainly helpful, as you mentioned, to give the DM some leeway with things before saying "This isn't...

Since not everyone seems to have checked in on the item, Dust of Disappearance produces a Greater Invisibility effect. Its effect also can't be countered by magical means like See Invisibility. The item's effect lasts for 2d6 rounds, so minimum of 2 and max of 12, and no one knows how long...

It seems you missed my intent with that. Long story short, all I have seen so far out of your stories is that you feel "The DM is screwing us over" partly because that's also somewhat in line with your "I'll get them next time" DM style so you expect it of everyone. Thinking that the DM is...

Some points I'd like to add to the discussion: To use an example from WoW, things the players want aren't always good for them or the game. If the players got best in slot items in two weeks they'd definitely (Blizz has the statistics to back this up) get bored and lose interest. Likewise...

It is the circumstances that can make a character powerful or useless. T1 characters tend to have many, many ways to get through things, but only if their spells and such are lined up for the task. Keeping track of those spells or powers is a hassle that not many can actually keep up with...

It's not always so much whether it's rules-legal as sometimes "I put a lot of effort into this and you just bypassed it easily. I feel like an idiot now, and I don't like that." Alternately it can be "I wanted this to be fun and you screwed it up." I played a cleric with the Air domain one...

Keep in mind how open-ended epic spellcasting is, and that the monsters were built with the assumption that you have spells which are still effective. Sometimes that's metamagic versions of standard spells, but other times it's going to be something you create yourself (well, with the DM too)

As a unique character it's possible that the writers simply said they wanted him to be X years old. For uncommon but perhaps not legendary unique characters that would be player characters, the age categories are in place since that's representative of the vast majority of the race, and those...

1: Yes. A character with 20 wizard levels is still a character with 20 wizard levels, regardless of when it takes them, with regards to spellcasting and most everything but BAB and saves. 2: Yes. The character would, strictly speaking, have a BAB of 10 since the rules say "...the character’s...

The only thing I can think of is Dandu thinks the OP wants Far Shot to work with a spell, which it wouldn't for typical spells like Fireball. However, since the Accuracy spell says "When you cast this spell, you enhance one or more thrown weapons or one projectile weapon to improve its chance...

I'm totally fine with the different elf races having different ears and other characteristics. They're different sub-races after all, so they inherently have differences if they're being categorized like that. And I admit, I balk a bit about those who say it "breaks their immersion" because it...

I had a similar issue a while ago, but it was apparently fixed until recently. Besides clearing one's cookies, cache, etc to log out, I've found that in certain forums I can log out too. Like I can't log out of the D&D forum normally, but if I click on the 3.5 marker to bring up all the 3.5...

If you really want a boatload of attacks, there's the Crescent Knife from Dragon 275. It's an exotic light weapon, but every attack with it is actually two separate attacks. Add this onto a monk's flurry (and there's a feat to allow flurrying with any light weapon), plus TWF+, plus stuff like...

That is incorrect. The way TWF works is it lowers your accuracy by 2 to essentially get an extra attack in at the full BAB. It's exactly like the Rapid Shot feat or a Monk's Flurry of Blows in a way. So a BAB 12 fighter with plain old TWF would get a +10/+10/+5/+0 routine. A BAB 12 fighter...

The fact that it's mentioned means that it's assumed to work for his particular situation, thus we should work on the assumption that it does work regardless of whether we think it does or not, with the caveat that it might not work for all situations. Gestalt is open-ended enough that it's...

The SRD has the greatsword listed at 8 pounds, but that's actually an upper bound on the weight and would only work for the longest of swords like what William Wallace is thought of as using. Most of them weighed 3 to 5 pounds (as seen at http://www.thearma.org/essays/2HGS.html), so they...

I'm not sure what to make of your quote. I quite explicitly said that if changing into a form that normally wears clothes that would fit the new form with only minor changes or a size adjustment, it should probably be expected that the clothes the character currently has should be changed by...

This begs a question: If you cast Alter Self and it doesn't change your clothes, does that mean the character is naked after casting it? Depending on one's point of view, no longer having clothes on has a range of being a rather massive inconvenience to a cute curiosity. For the sake of...
