It wasn't "almost" closed. Based on the comments in it, it was definitely closed but the mods opened it up again because they got messaged by several people about it. Now for my bit about it all: Would I allow Cedric to be in one of my games? Only if the players were mature enough to work...

I have a large number of PDFs on mine, so I'm generally the one asked to look up stuff if a book isn't handily available. I've also been asked to use it for music because the DM wanted more "ambiance." It's always been off to the side though, as best can be managed. I'd prefer it if I had a...

Arcane Duelist would also work for a bigger threat range, but you have to be careful combining the various abilities because one of them is mathematically a trap that lowers damage... I don't remember which one though.

Unless you're working with flaws, fighter 6 is the earliest you'll get in and it was intended as such. Even with flaws it'd be fighter 4/full BAB 1 since odd levels are odd on fighters unless you're using the Zhentarim Soldier variant from the Champions of Valor web enhancement (which is...

I believe the thinking on class levels is "So long as a creature is intelligent enough to want to train itself to be better or towards a goal, it should be able to take class levels." Which is typically the Int 3 cutoff point.

One house rule I've wondered about is raising SR a bit, but having it be more granular. A caster who loses by 5 or less might do half damage for example, or otherwise have half the effect much like succeeding against a saving throw would. Nerfing some of the caster level bonuses might also be...

I'm of the opinion that if a player wants to have the fumble chance then it has to have a confirmation roll too. Getting a 1 is bad enough without automatically having X bad thing besides missing happen, and there are some options presented in this thread that I would never use even with a...

Since I can't give experience, I'm going to post my agreement. With all of the D&D Next threads flooding the forum, I'm inclined not to even look at the forum because it takes too much time weeding out which thread belongs to which edition and such.

I'm inclined to believe Stark started with an 18 in Int. His various gadgets would probably increase that, or else we can think of Jarvis as being able to use Aid Another on Stark at any time. His Wisdom score though? lol

I'd expect the 10 foot range increment to be the minimum for any throwing weapon because having it any lower would cause problems. Think about it: If the range increment was 5 feet, that means you'd take a penalty for not throwing into an adjacent square. But, if you do throw into an adjacent...

You are misreading it. He specifically mentions he doesn't want the second attack to come from BAB, which means he's familiar with iterative attack rules. However, one of my suggestions would be to go against that: Give the gnolls levels in the warrior NPC class. That way they can get the...

If you're going for a thrower, the Brutal Throw feat is probably a good idea in this scenario.

Spiked armor is a light weapon, and to get the second attack you'd need to use two-weapon fighting rules, which will further murder your chances at being an effective sunderer. You could give them all a barbarian level and the Whirling Frenzy rage variant. If you really want to be mean you...

Haste grants an extra attack and various other bonuses. A weapon with the speed enhancement does too. Might I recommend Boots of Speed? The feat Combat Brute might also apply, depending on the gnoll's BAB. Are you using a special kind of falchion or something? As per the weapons list...

Tongues is in iffy territory because the DM has to adjudicate whether it magically allows the target creature to talk despite not being able to talk normally.

The only Ultimate Magic I've turned up was Pathfinder. Asthyril, I recommend paying closer attention to things because Wild Speech was indeed mentioned in the thread:

This is probably your biggest setback: Thinking that the "official" rules as presented are always to be taken seriously. I'd also advise not using "Read As Written" because more often than not it turns into "rules as I interpret them and I won't allow arguments or discussion about them, nyeh!"...

I believe he's referencing the fact that you've said (paraphrasing) "The rules encourage X behavior" and are bemoaning that observation when you could just change the way you look at the rules and play with them to suit your wants.

You're asking what's the difference on a forum for a game that is notorious for being inaccurate? Alrighty then. Club - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary is the dictionary entry for club and Mace - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary is for...

That will mostly depend on the group. Different players have different experiences at different tables. In some cases I've seen the roleplay disrupt how the players wanted to do things because they just wanted to get into the town and didn't want to bother with playing out the scene with the...
