I'm not familiar with that feat, but as you describe it, it doesn't prevent someone in your threatened area to perform a power attack -- it just lets you resist part of the effect. Someone power attacking your buddy could still do it. Mage Slayer, on the other hand, prevents an opponent from...

There is a French SRD of the revised third edition, done by the official publishers of the French translation of the game. You can find it here in four zipped archives. It's called DRS rather than SRD, of course. They also translated many of the free adventures WotC put on its website.

Elmore's art is a big meh for me. Sure, he gots some talent, but it doesn't move me. However, I do think it's a nice touch to ask him to draw the last cover because he's an old timer. It's a coming full circle thing. You close the book and on the last page there was a nudge back to the first...

Anything that shifts your focus away from melee combat opens up the possibility of getting AoO, because it prevents you from efficiently watching your opponents and dodging their blows. It makes sense, thus, that spellcasting -- which has always been described as needing serious mental effort...

It's broken because it doesn't make sense. Look, I could make a Rogue Slayer feat that prevents sneak attacking people within five feet of the character. Would it make sense? Yeah, it would make the character well-protected against sneak attacks (except ranged or reached ones, I guess), but...

Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed/Evolved. The class has a flavor (getting insight by tuning on to the collective consciousness) that needs to be dropped to make an Indy, though.

I'd make him a rogue/ranger, about even mix. He's quite at home in the wilderness. Just make a "exotic weapon" fighting style so that he can use his whip efficiently, follow the Forgotten Realms clue about using organizations as favored enemies so that he can properly fight Nazi and Crazy...

Osama means "Lion" and there are a lot of people who have been named that without it being a reference to Osama bin Laden. In fact, I think I remember a story about someone with that first name owning a bar frequented mostly by soldiers, somewhere in the US. More recently, there was a story...

That's for an adult who is rather slim and not particularly muscular. For a soldier, you can safely add 20 kg of muscles -- and then you've got the equipment.

"Yeah, they love elves, and you're about to find out how..." Then whip up F.A.T.A.L. and make them roll up various orifice diameter for their characters. Scream and bleed guaranteed. :p

-Most contributions to the Table of Useless Knowledge are useless, but not knowledge. -While the Font is supposed to always be accurate, it has been fed many lies or setting-dependent facts that may not be true for your own world. -Nobody remember Xugryactan, a language that was spoken by two...

It's for the sake the game (nothing is more annoying than a PC slowing the game down to a crawl and monopolizing the GM's attention by constantly doing some obsessive-compulsive check), but also for the in-game sake of the character. If you take a full-round action before each five-foot (oops...

Yeah, but that's kinda a problem with the setting. I'm contemplating joining a SW game, and here I am asking myself: "what else than a pilot or a Jedi can be played in SW?" Beside, I've always liked the computer games (especially the X-Wing series) and to me Star Wars is all about going on a...

Much better supported than, say, Call of Cthulhu d20 or Wheel of Time RPG... :p

What's an RCR, lest alone a pseudo one?

Problem solved, we're dead again.

Or a thoqqa. If you speak ignan or terran, you can tell it to burrow just next to or below the small corridor, in effect widening it by one foot. That way, you both scout and make the tunnel a tiny bit more comfortable. At level 11-12, stone shape and disintegrate can likewise be used. The...

There's no option to say they're great classic humanoid monsters yet aren't a necessary fixture of every setting. They're a solid archetype (and the Gamorreans in Star Wars or the Klingons in Star Trek owe a lot to them) and I put them to good use, but I don't need to have them in every...

Well, a spell which explodes a body yet isn't of the "save of die" variety is kinda ridiculous, don't you agree? Gory Mess Necromancy [Fire] Level: Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Area: One person Duration: Instantaneous...

Just a few months old, it's a 2007 mileage... A good thread necromancy would go at least back a few years! :p To make box-text descriptions, usually the best is to start with sound, then smell, then sight. Other perceptions like very high or low temperature, rain, slippery or uncomfortable...
