Funny thing about those though.. they are pretty much assumed to be readily available, but they never are. :\ I kept putting the word out about Lesser Vigor wands, but everyone always wants CLW. This is the same group that min/maxes everything to get the most out of their gold, but then...

We had a cleric too. But it was a large party and there wasn't enough spells to go around. At least, not for 4 encounters per day standard. Seems like anything over 2 encounters per day and someone bites it, sometimes even more than 1. And lowering the EL makes the bigger party walk all over...

The healing-up-to-half mechanic is stupid. We had a dragon shaman in one game at, at the low-power levels, and half hit points going into an encounter was always 2 hits away from dead. Or one crit. It was like that from 1st to 5th, when the dragon shaman finally died.

I like how Iron Heroes makes standing up from prone cause no AoO. My players were surprised about that, they thought they were going to be screwed, which distracted them from the real damage dealers in the encounter.

It'd be a DC15 tumble check to avoid causing an AoO while doing so, with a +10 to the DC for going at full speed instead of half.

I'm running Eberron setting and modules modified to Iron Heroes. Still trying to figure out how to get them into Iron Heroes Spelljammer.

double post browser went weird as it sat there for a while

It's like the Futurama thing: They need Fry to save the universe in the future, but he won't live that long, so they freeze him. In the druid's case, his order keeps stabbing him and bringing him back in new and amusing guises.

well, now you're just making stuff up, the players would sometimes call foul if they can't do the same.

Then there's the ancient druid, sworn to protect the sacred grove, who has been reincarnated many times over a thousand years to stay at his post, waiting for the replacement mentioned in a prophecy to come along.

agreed, except for: natural reach = how far out they can attack with a non-reach melee weapon normally.

My Iron Heroes players followed an enemy into an ancient temple with a bunch of traps, and as soon as they hit the entrance, they were rolling twice for searching each square. :\ It got boring pretty quick. It was the first traps in that game, after something like 20 sessions. Needless to...

Actually, the rules assume Medium creatures all the time. Other sized creatures are handled in, oddly enough, the section called: "BIG AND LITTLE CREATURES IN COMBAT" which includes allowing Large creatures to attack at range and up close in their natural threatened area(s).

Threatened squares only interacts with your ability to make AoOs. Which means you can attack someone other than the one in the grapple with you, no matter what your weapon of choice is. That also happens in the movies, one guy grabs the good guy another moves to attack and gets kicked before...

They already have that feat: Over-sized Two Weapon Fighting

Any attack against a flatfooted opponent is valid to add sneak attack, unless the target has uncanny dodge or concealment. Under the complete adventurer expanded rules, you'd need at least 10 ranks in hide to get the 10ft minimum needed to perform a charge from a hiding place, and you'd take...

An unarmed human doesn't threaten any squares either, but he can attack into an adjacent square. The rogue could even punch or kick the guy in the next square if he has nothing at hand. This is especially good, since the guy he'd be attacking also doesn't threaten any squares, and wouldn't be...

If the rogue is being grappled by enemy X, and enemy Y is being grappled in an adjacent square by anyone at all except the rogue, then the rogue could stab at enemy Y and get sneak attack, because he is not involved in the grapple with enemy Y, so enemy Y is denied his Dex bonus to the rogue...

If there is a save involved, you always get to make one, unless you voluntarily give up your save and accept the spell's result. otherwise, a mean DM could say 'well, those new pants you bought are too tight, and don't give you room to move, so no Reflex save for you from this Fireball...

You can always make a Reflex save, even if you're chained to an altar with a delayed blast fireball bead sitting on your chest. Unless you're dead already, but then you'd take 1/2 damage from fire anyway, being an object. Grappled creatures are not squeezing. Pinned creatures are not...
