    Help! Ranger with no spells?

    Somewhere there's a ranger variant that doesn't use spells. I can't find it however - too many books! I thought it was in UA, but it wasn't there. So, does anyone know where it is? I think it's a WOTC product, if that helps. Thankls!

    Blink automatically allows sneak attacks, what?

    That was exactly my point. The attacking action takes up more time than the rogue spends on the Material plane. And people in front of other people never have an effect, unless they are in melee, so your retort is uselss. Please find in the SRD where Blink states "This miss chance is NOT a...

    Blink automatically allows sneak attacks, what?

    Ahh, but to accuratly represent the situation, you must also assume that even though one person can see when the light is off, he can only see indistinct shapes and colors - yet he needs to aim for a spot on the target just an inch or so wide. For effect, try squinting and throwing darts at...

    Blink automatically allows sneak attacks, what?

    Ah, but your logic falls apart when put into the context of the game. Let's keep your assumption, and add that the rogue in question is lower level, and has only a single attack per round. According to your interpretation, he could make 6 attacks per round - since there's 6 seconds in a...

    Blink automatically allows sneak attacks, what?

    I can post it for you, but I can't read it for you too. You've got to do some things yourself. Nor does it state that concealment is the only thing that prevents sneak attacks. Geez, RTFM. Any time you cannot see your target clearly, you cannot sneak attack. I've given you the SRD where...

    Blink automatically allows sneak attacks, what?

    That's where you make your mistake. You don't know when you'll be where. If you did know, then there wouldn't BE a miss chance. You'd know. Since you don't know, there's a random variable - 20% to be exact. I didn't ignore it. I addressed it - pointing out the flaw in your logic...

    Blink automatically allows sneak attacks, what?

    Funny, you just ignored the part of the sneak attack rules that applied to what I'm saying. Try the whole text referring to when you can sneak attack: Given that the Ethereal plane states: If you consider "muted", "indistinct", "blurry colors" and "fuzzy edges" to be equal to seeing...

    Blink automatically allows sneak attacks, what?

    I consider that an attempt to circumvent a clear rules pattern. It borders on dairy. While Blink doesn't specifcially address sneak attacks, it makes it clear that half the time you're on the Ethereal plane. Seeing from the Ethereal into the Material isn't the same as regular sight - it's...

    Blink automatically allows sneak attacks, what?

    By that logic, you should be able to sneak attack in shadowy illumination. You are a) on the material plane, b) you can see him just as clearly (perhaps moreso since you aren't blinking back and forth between planes) and c) you never lose his position. But that's not legal. If something...

    Blink automatically allows sneak attacks, what?

    I beg to differ. According to the DMG, page 151: "The Material Plane itself is visible from the Ethereal Plane, but it appears muted and indistinct, its colors blurring into each other and its edges turning fuzzy." It's clear that looking from the Ethereal Plane into the Material isn't the...

    Blink automatically allows sneak attacks, what?

    I don't get how Blink grants sneak attacks. According to the spell: Followed by: That means that both parties are effectively granted with concealment. Next comes the Sneak Attack description from the Rogue class: Ergo, a Blinking rogue can not sneak attack. I'd say that popping in and...

    Dieties in a homebrew world

    I created a whole pantheon for my world. It's fun, and adds alot of flavor. Here's some points to remember, and some hints that worked for me. 1) Start with alignments. At a minimum, provide a diety for each alignment. That doesn't mean you need 9 gods - only that a cleric of any alignment...

    Boardgames: Diplomacy!

    My account name is "rushlight". The move frequency sounds fine to me. Is the diplomacy phase folded into the move phase?

    Boardgames: Diplomacy!

    Random is fine with me if that's what everyone else wants. I've never played before, so if we were going to call powers, I'd choose Italy.

    A day or two sounds perfect! Sounds like I'll be getting paid to play Diplomacy soon. :) Don't you just love it when your work subsidizes your hobbies? :D

    Boardgames: Diplomacy!

    I'd also love to play! Although I've never played before, so I'll need some learnin'. Will this take place all at once (on a certain day/time) or will it be more free-form so that we can enter our turns at our leisure? If it's the latter, count me in! I can be contacted at rushl (at)...

    PC Death when the player isn't there

    This reminds me so much of the movie The Gamers where one of the players is missing ans his character just stands in the background of every scene looking off into the distance with his hands on his hips! Anyway, this problem disappears once the wizard gets Teleport. Just beam the missing guy...

    Dealing with Player Cheating

    The solution to this problem can actually be quite simple. What you want to do is make her be the one to desire not to cheat. You have to appeal to her sense of self. I'm going to make some assumptions. If any of these are wrong, just say so. 1) You want to stop the cheating, not ban the...

    Complete Adventurer (merged)

    I was hoping that someone with CA can fill me in on the Brutal Throw feat. I've got my fingers crossed that it's about thrown weapons... If it's not, are there any feats out there good for thrown items - especially things like rocks. That might be too specific, though...
