    Was "Bad GM Rulings?", Now Silence spell

    Or when the House Rule you're using says you get such a will save.

    Is the Spiked Chain Fighter really that Cheesy?

    Maybe so. But Improved Trip gets even more cheesy when you combine it with the omnireach of the Spiked Chain and the Disarm bonus of the Spiked Chain.

    Is the Spiked Chain Fighter really that Cheesy?

    Sure you do both tripping and disarming. And you threaten *all* squares within your reach, that's what makes it so cheesy. Okay, here's how to make a NPC tripmonkey disarmer to make your party run home to mama in tears: - Be Large - Be Strong - Be Dextrous These three qualities can be had...

    Question on mechanics of Trip

    I disagree. Weight helps the tripper just as much as it hinders the tripper - gravity works to the tripper's advantage, inertia to the tripper's disadvantage. It balances out.

    Bad GM rulings? How would you rule?

    Honestly, people. Where's this whole "we must not kill unconscious characters left behind inside the BBEG's lair" come from? I mean, the way you guys post it seems like the GM decided to teleport a sleeping character from their own bedroom into a dangerous area and *then* directed the BBEG there...

    Help me create a broken, munchkin character!

    Also, Monkey Grip only works on the main hand, not the off hand.

    Help me create a broken, munchkin character!

    If you do go Druid, do not overlook the Bite of the WereX spells, specifically for a 15th level character Bite of the Werebear. This is a personal-range spell so you get to share it with your animal companion, too.

    Wisdom to AC ... twice?

    It shouldn't. On the other hand, I regard that entry as a typo and in all my games swordsages will get WIS to AC if they wear no armor. Rules must make a certain amount of sense; they must at least be consistent. DnD is clearly intended to emulate fantasy fiction, it is not merely a collection...

    Maneuvers and Stance confusion, please help

    In my campaigns that include Bo9S, all B09S base classes get adjusted stance learning points to better fit with the levels new stances appear at.

    Help my kids make great PCs

    Thing is, you can import a class from another book and not make the player read that book. You can look through the feats and pick out ones that are fitting for the class, then give them a list of choices tailored to the player's individual understanding of the rules. You don't need to push the...

    once you start a PrC, can you lose its requirements and still continue the PrC?

    Or ignore your interpretation of the rules and allow Assassins to be non-evil as much as they want.

    Initiative order & multiple attacks.

    Weapon speed is a factor that pales in comparison to weapon reach. If I was holding a greatsword and you were holding a dagger, the dagger might be easier to move around, but you wouldn't get near enough to me to use it without suffering an attack from my greatsword. That's assuming we're both...

    Monks and AC

    It doesn't prevent the caster from casting, though.

    New FAQ up!

    Huh. As I understood it, the Lich's soul is actually *in* the phylactery. This would lead to the same result (thinaum don't work on a lich's body) but for a completely different reason (liches don't have to go for their phylactery because that's where they always are - the body is basically just...

    Spiked Chain Master

    It works even better with the Spiked Chain, as that also threatens adjacent squares.

    Monks and AC

    Now, there's been a very important point brought up in this thread: It's not all about damage output. I'd like to elaborate on that. First, get Combat Reflexes - but not as the monk bonus feat. You need Stunning fist. Pump your Wis up and go around searching for low-Fort enemies to put out of...

    RE: Barbarian's HP in Rage

    DR represents the toughness thing. The extra HP represents "I'm so frickin' angry I'll fight on past the point where I should have died."

    RE: Barbarian's HP in Rage

    Uh... that just means that without those extra HP they would already be dead before their rage ended. How's living a few more rounds a liability, exactly?

    So I've hit the damage roadblock on an Archer

    Also, consider that Monkey Grip only applies to weapons wielded in the main hand. The bow is technically only wielded in the off hand - the main hand is used to draw arrows and pull the string. ;)

    Arrow Feat? Bounces off walls?

    There's also the Bank Shot ability of the Order of the Bow Initiate which allows them to bounce an arrow off a wall, but I'm not sure if that was ever updated to 3.5
